About Green Man Enviroscaping LLC...
Green Man Enviroscaping LLC creates ecologically healthy landscapes for our customers.
We offer landscape design, installation, and maintenance services, specializing in woodlands, meadows, and edible forests.
We seek to:
- Improve the health and welfare of our customers' environment by emphasizing native plantings, natural solutions, and organic materials
- Encourage the use of woodlands & meadows to blend the home landscape into the natural surroundings and provide beauty and utility for our customers and habitat and food for wildlife
- Increase biodiversity and create a more sustainable future harvest for our customers by creating edible forests & using various other permaculture techniques
- Provide the highest level of services to our customers through best practices and by establishing and maintaining industry certifications
- Continually monitor the materials, equipment, and practices used to ensure all aspects of the business are as environmentally friendly as possible
- Grow the company through future expansion of lawn services and into additional areas to include a full suite of complimentary, ecologically-minded services, such as tree care, hardscaping, water features, irrigation, grey water, and green roofs
- Remain a relatively small and nimble organization, with a minimal office staff, and with all levels of management taking part in the active field staff
We value a natural, organic flow over rigid, regular geometrical patterns; native plants over exotics; lush meadows full of beauty and life over sterile close-cropped lawns; hands-on leadership over sitting behind a desk; improving our world over thinking it might be nice to do something about it. We can do symmetry, plants from other parts of the world, neat lawns, pencil pushing, and musing on good things, but we emphasize and prefer to let the natural world be our guide, to think globally but choose plants locally, tend wildflowers and tall grasses, get our hands dirty, and make a difference.
We serve residential homeowners who are concerned with the impact they have on their local and global environment, and who want to make a difference. We also serve commercial entities dealing with residential properties - such as builders, realtors, general contractors, and landscape architects. We will also serve commercial properties, assisting with the transformation of large or small scale areas of land from high maintenance, unnatural turf areas with high water and fertilization needs to low maintenance natural areas that preserve and extend native plant and wildlife habitat.
Company History...
Green Man Enviroscaping LLC had its beginnings in mid to late 2006. It was meant to serve two primary purposes: 1) to bring about environmentally friendly landscaping; and 2) to get its owner out from behind a desk and active in the field, thus living a healthier lifestyle.
It was established as a limited liability corporation in the state of Pennsylvania in July 2007, and was based in Lehighton Pennsylvania. In early 2011, the company relocated to Mount Joy Pennsylvania, and now services the Susquehanna Valley and Central Pennsylvania.
Earlier roots of the company can be found in the owner's neighborhood lawn and shrub care work during his childhood and teenage years, where he preferred individually hand sculpting shrubs over the quicker, easier, and more resource-intensive electric shears.
As a young adult, a stint as a canvasser with an environmental organization led him to discover a gentleman in Swampscott Massachusetts who was, in Autumn 1991, engaging in natural and organic landscaping. The gentleman offered to care for his neighbor's lawns free of charge if they would use his methods instead of the chemical treatments and more common methods. They refused, and he left his front lawn completely unkempt in response. His backyard, however, was a paradise. And the insects passed through his yard with a nibble here and a nibble there, and then feasted on the predator-free yards of his neighbors. It was a valuable lesson, and it was sent home with some of the largest, tastiest tomatoes ever.
