Sustainable Landscaping

We think landscape professionals should play a key role in caring for our environment. Evolving Landscapes is dedicated to providing eco friendly landscaping to the Kansas City area. By incorporating environmentally friendly landscaping practices, we strive to reduce the impact on our environment.

Some of the sustainable landscaping services we offer:

  • lawn mowing with propane-powered mowers
  • landscape services with low- and no-emissions equipment
  • natural weed control
  • natural fertilizers
  • rain barrel installation
  • rain gardens
  • natural pesticide application
  • low voltage lighting and solar landscape lighting

We’ve found that being eco friendly doesn’t always require much extra effort or cost. Selecting the right plant for the location is vital to having a healthy landscape and reducing water usage. Proper soil preparation results in healthier plants that are disease, insect and drought resistant, reducing the need for pesticides. Creating attractive landscaping that is also inviting to birds and beneficial insects aids in natural pest control. Using electric power tools and propane-powered mowers instead of gas-powered equipment whenever possible greatly reduces pollutant emissions.

When a landscape is well planned and well cared for, it should have minimal problems. When problems do occur, we use the least toxic methods of pest and weed control in order to create a child- and pet-friendly landscape. We can help you create a sustainable landscape that invites you and your family to safely relax and play together.

When you use Evolving Landscapes, you can take pride in your Kansas City landscape, knowing that while you’re enjoying your beautiful home, you’re also helping the environment that we all enjoy.

Green Lawn Mowing

We use propane-powered lawn mowers, which have lower emissions than gas-powered lawn mowers, including those that use B20 biodiesel. There is up to a 60% reduction in smog forming emissions and 80% reduction in toxic emissions compared with diesel and gasoline fuel. According to the EPA, nearly 10% of the pollution in the US comes from lawn care equipment. The EPA also says that using one standard gasoline powered lawnmower for an hour pollutes as much as 40 cars on the road for the same amount of time.

For more information on propane-powered lawn mowing, see our propane lawn mowing page.

We create sustainable landscapes in Kansas City, Missouri including those in Lee’s Summit, Blue Springs, Greenwood and the surrounding area.
