Sustainability

At Enviromax we take a sustainable and environmentally sound approach to every project.  We have taken many steps to ensure that we provide a truly sustainable landscape, from design through installation.  We have developed and extensive guideline that we adhere to on a daily basis.  Here are a few of the highlights:

  • Certified Eco-Logical Business – A certification that recognizes Oregon Landscape Contractors that reach the highest standards in environmental protection.
  • 4 Day Work Weeks – reduces drive time and fuel consumption
  • B99 Biofuel – Purchased directly across the street from our shop, supports local companies and reduces reliance on foreign oil.
  • Carbon Offsets – Enviromax is Oregon’s first Carbon Neutral Landscape Company, offsetting 100% of our carbon footprint through the Bonneville Environmental Foundation.
  • Drip Irrigation – Most efficient water system for residential landscapes – weather sensors prevent overwatering when raining
  • LED Night Lighting – 75% more efficient than standard landscape lighting systems with 15 year lifespan.  We also use a smart controller that runs off astronomical clock to ensure lights come on after dark every night
  • Pesticide Free – Enviromax uses no pesticides or herbicides in any of our installations.
  • FSC Certified Wood Products – All wood used in our projects is FSC Certified, ensuring sustainable harvesting methods.
  • Alternative Materials – All of our proposals offer a more ecological or sustainable alternative material, if available.

  • Extensive Recycling Program – We share our yard with a large scale commercial demolition and recycling operation.  They take all of our scraps including concrete, pavers, wood, and metal.

We continue to update or sustainability policies and are always looking for additional ways to help make our organization greener.
