EXPERIENCE with ECO-GARDENING

Thomas Witz, Manager of Maintenance Operations, received a certificate of Organic Farming from UC Farm and Garden.

Coastal Evergreen Company has sent a representative to the Conference of Ecological Farming two out of the last four years.

We maintain several jobs that request organic maintenance and several others that have a no pesticide requirement.

Even in the majority of our accounts where we do use pesticides and chemical fertilizers, our approach is always cultural practice before chemical intervention.
