Environment & recycling Everything we do is focused on caring for our environment. If there is a better way that we can achieve results, by using fewer resources or by delivering our services in a more environmentally friendly way, we will endeavour to explore the best option. We have a reputation as a true environmental and carbon friendly company. In-house expenditure on R&D over the years has led to innovation and modifications to equipment and systems that are safer from a WHS and environmental perspective. An example of our continual quest to care for our environment is the use of Organic Steam Weeder technology. This gives our clients an opportunity to select an environmentally friendly alternative other than, the use of chemicals to kill weeds.

Some examples of initiatives we have undertaken include the installation of solar panels and the recycling of mulch from our tree works.
