Landscaping, gardening, lawn care in Los Angeles

According to the California Air Resource Board’s 2007 Almanac, gas-powered lawn and garden equipment contributed between 4%-5% of all reactive organic gases and carbon monoxide (smog and greenhouse agents) in the state of California for the year 2006. In comparison, all passenger cars emitted 12% of reactive organic gases and 21% of carbon monoxide during this same year.

IF all of the gas-powered lawn and garden equipment were converted to zero-emission appliances, it would have the same impact as eliminating one-third of all passenger cars in terms of reducing reactive organic gases, and one-fifth of all passenger cars in terms of reducing carbon monoxide.

The use of pesticides, herbicides, and petroleum-based fertilizers is not only harmful for children and pets, their use also pollutes the groundwater supply via run-off and damages the soil by harming beneficial insects, earthworms and essential microorganisms. Beyond Pesticides lists Whisper Landscape Maintenance as a Least Toxic Landscape Service Provider and offers excellent information about environmentally friendly alternatives to weed management, pest control, and plant fertilization.

Our Fertilizers and Weed/Pest Controls

When weeds and/or pests emerge, we deploy only earth-conscious approaches; for example, we pull weeds by hand and take steps to encourage natural predation to reduce the presence of unwanted insects. We never use products or interventions that damage the essential microorganisms and insects in the soil or pollute the ground water supply via run-off.
