Modern landscaping practices are a significant driver of climate change, biodiversity loss, and whole lot of fiscal, social, and environmental problems that make our communities sicker and poorer. We're on a mission to change that. Roots Down is dedicated to growing more beautiful, sustainable, and abundant communities by training the next generation of land stewards. We create innovative environmental education solutions for landscapers, youth leaders, developers, local governments, and anyone else that shapes landscaping policy.

Better landscapes for a greener future.

The dark side of modern landscaping.

THE PROBLEM
Modern landscaping may look nice and tidy, but hiding in those clean edges and leafless lawns is one of America’s darkest ecological secrets. Every leaf blower, riding lawn mower, and herbicide application is contributing to a growing environmental crisis, where soils become impoverished, water is polluted, and communities grow poorer.

Fact 1

Noise from popular models of commercial gas leaf blowers exceeds 100 decibels. A jet plane takeoff or a siren is measured at 120 decibels.

Fact 2

Landscaping pollutants like pesticides, fertilizers, and yard debris are dumped in the same places we get our drinking water from.
