Environmental Landscaping Company
Our philosophy at Rye Beach Landscaping is to walk
softly on the earth, and leave it better than we found it.
We are a "green" landscaping company in Rye Beach, New
Hampshire. We take our environmental responsibility seriously. Since 2005, we have been powering our fleet on
vegetable oil. Bio diesel emits less than half the emissions of petroleum, is non-toxic, biodegradable, and is
sustainable for the environment.
From April to October, we are "off the pump," and able to
supply nearly all of our fuel needs ourselves. This means that we are able to offer our landscaping
clients competitive pricing even through tough economic times. Using our own fuel product means that we reduce
dependence on oil and work towards a healthier planet. Oh yeah, and our trucks smell good too!

Although the process of making the fuel takes time, it more than pays for itself as the
price at the pump continues to climb. |

We also process all of our green waste into a composted
topsoil that we use in all of our planting projects and lawn installations. New Hampshire seacoast soil typically
is sandy and lacking in organic material. Loam that is purchased commercially often is void of essential
micronutrients that plants need to get a healthy start. Composting provides those essential nutrients and
beneficial bacteria in a form that is readily available to the plant. Using "live soil" can quickly accelerate the
growth and establishment of landscape trees, lawns and shrubs.
Our commitment to sustainability can be found in the office,
too! Several years ago we began moving our clients in a direction of electronic mail from conventional postage
mail. While not all of our clients receive billing and notifications this way, many have, and has greatly reduced
our paper consumption. All of our stationary is printed on recycled paper with biodegradable ink.
