Green Sustainability

The landscapes that shape our local communities are valuable—not just for their beauty, but for the people who live, work, and play in them. At EMI, we prioritize sustainable landscaping and water-saving techniques to protect and enhance our shared environment, ensuring healthier, greener spaces for generations to come. Some of our environmentally conscious practices are highlighted below.

Sustainable Design

We carefully select plant life that thrives with minimal maintenance, reducing the need for chemicals, fertilizers, and excessive watering. Our designs incorporate easy-to-prune plants, environmentally conscious building considerations, and materials suited to the natural landscape. By prioritizing pest- and disease-resistant species and native plants, we create sustainable, low-maintenance landscapes that support the local ecosystem while conserving resources.

Water Management

EMI is committed to using water more efficiently, reducing unnecessary consumption through smart landscaping and irrigation practices. By integrating weather satellite data, xeriscaping techniques, water-saving irrigation heads, below-grade emitters, and drip irrigation where appropriate, we minimize waste while maintaining healthy landscapes. Our approach also includes rain sensors to prevent watering during rainfall, precise irrigation adjustments to avoid unnecessary runoff, and rain gardens to naturally capture and manage water, ensuring sustainability in every project.

Pest Management

Our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) minimizes pesticide use through natural, eco-friendly solutions for long-term pest control. This strategy combines biological control, habitat adjustments, and resistant plant varieties to reduce chemical reliance. Recognized by the EPA, IPM uses targeted methods to manage pests effectively while protecting people, properties, and the environment.

Sustainable Operations

EMI is committed to sustainability by recycling 100% of collected yard waste into nutrient-rich compost each year. Our efforts include office-wide recycling, locally sourced materials, and a fuel-efficient mower fleet. We minimize chemical use by targeting only necessary areas, offer organic fertilizers, and use brine applications for eco-friendly snow management. GPS-tracked route optimization further reduces idle time and fuel consumption, reinforcing our commitment to environmental responsibility.

Commitment to a Greener Future

At EMI, sustainability is at the core of everything we do—from integrated pest management and water conservation to eco-friendly operations and smart landscape design. By combining innovation with responsible practices, we create beautiful, resilient landscapes that benefit both our clients and the environment.
