Clean N Green

We can help you plant more natives in your yard!!

The best-looking yard on your street is probably the worst one for the planet.

And the "messy" one? That's the one everything depends on.

THE PERFECT LAWN:
→ Cost: $2,000-5,000/year (chemicals, mowing, watering, edging)
→ Species supported: grass
→ Insects: near zero (that's the goal of the chemicals)
→ Birds: almost none (no food source)
→ Pollinators: none (no flowers)
→ Water use: 96 gallons/day average
→ Carbon: net EMITTER (mowing, leaf blowing, manufacturing chemicals)

THE "MESSY" YARD:
→ Cost: $100-300/year
→ Native plants: supports 10-50x more insect species than non-native
→ Birds: dozens of species (insects = bird food)
→ Pollinators: bees, butterflies, moths
→ Water use: minimal (native plants are drought-adapted)
→ Carbon: net ABSORBER (healthy soil sequesters carbon)

The science is clear:

→ Homes with native plants support 70% more caterpillar biomass (the #1 food for baby birds)
→ Doug Tallamy's research at University of Delaware: a yard with native oaks supports 557 species of caterpillars. A non-native ginkgo? 5.
→ 96% of North American land birds feed insects to their young
→ No insects = no baby birds = population collapse

You don't have to let your whole yard go wild.

But even ONE native plant bed, ONE unmowed corner, ONE section where you stop spraying — changes everything.

Beauty isn't measured in how green your grass is.

It's measured in what's alive in it. 🦋

Everyone needs a native flower bed!!! Free estimates! The birds and bees will thank you! Book now

To those who live in an HOA we can make your grass new again.

Now is the time to get your crepe myrtle tree properly trimmed. This one had been murdered for years but over the past 5 years its looking better just leaving it alone. Took out all branches that were touching for better airflow. Love these trees let us properly trim them for you. $50 and up depending on tree size.

This drives me nuts see it all over town. Just stop already!

Crape Murder is the common practice of severely cutting back crape myrtle trees in the landscape and has long-term negative impacts on these trees.

Read this article by UF/IFAS Extension Agent Daniel Leonard how to properly select the right tree for the right place and avoid this labor intensive tree abuse!
