Going Electric One Step at a Time: Strathmore Landscape takes its Zero Emission program to the next level

摘要

Strathmore Landscape, based in Montreal, Canada, has staked its reputation on landscape's Golden Rule: "Our employees treat a client's property the way they would want their own to be treated," says Jessica Milligan, one of three owners and a granddaughter of the founder. "No upgrade or proposal is ever made that would benefit the company and not the customer."This philosophy has allowed Strathmore to continuously expand since its inception in 1963. President Danny Milligan took over the reins in 1974 from his father, Elmer, and in 1997 refocused the company to concentrate on maintenance services for property management companies and commercial owners, including services in turf management, design, restoration, renovation and Mosaicultures. This synergy has led the company to become a leader in sustainable landscape practices and ecologic designs, including its "Go Green" concept, which facilitates LEED an BOMA BESt (Canadian sustainability) certifications, and to develop in Zero Emissions program.
