The future
of landscaping.
Modern landscaping practices waste billions of dollars every year, and create a ton of environmental problems. We're on a mission to change that. Roots Down teaches organizations how to save money and integrate sustainability into their landscaping portfolios. We do this by training maintenance teams on sustainable landscaping, providing continuing education to stakeholders, and developing a plan for using existing budgets to keep the progress going.
Save money and save the planet.

Landscaping is changing.
THE PROBLEM
After 75 years of dominance, the $140B "mow and blow" landscaping industry is facing pressure from all sides. From growing climate and environmental concerns, changing preferences, and increasing cost parity for eco-alternatives, the revolution has started.
Climate Change
Climate change is already wreaking havoc on our communities. As a significant source of greenhouse gases, landscaping has a tremendous chance to be a major climate solution.
Changing tastes
Americans under 45 are driving changes in what is considered a "beautiful" landscape, preferring more varied styles.
Cost parity
Input costs for traditional landscaping are rising, and the cost for electric equipment is coming down, meaning eco-alternatives are no longer more expensive,
