A long established local landscape company providing services in Washtenaw County and surrounding communities for over 15 years. With more than 20 employees, Abbotts Landscaping has a long history of practicing numerous waste reduction activities as part of their daily business operations. They continue to use tree trimmer waste and woodchips to Heal-In protect and support the root balls on their large tree inventory. Once this material breaks down and composts, they further use it in gardens and offer it to customers. They purchase and promote the sale of organic herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers as well as practice integrated pest management. All but one of their buildings on site are over 100 years old and the company continues to be without air conditioning units to help keep energy costs and their environmental footprint to a minimum. Abbotts Landscape has also built Shade Racks to reduce the amount of irrigation / water use. Old newspaper is offered to line customers trunks instead of plastic. Abbotts Landscape is a green partner and will continue to practice and educate their employees on the benefits of waste reduction practices.
