Green In Action

 

By helping our clients design and build sustainable, earth-friendly landscapes – and by changing how we think and act – Southview Design is committed to "green in action."

Our active participation in the Minnesota GreenStar program, and service to the organization, is proof of our commitment to healthy and sustainable landscaping practices. Minnesota GreenStar is a non-profit organization that educates homeowners, builders and remodelers, and certifies green building and remodeling residential projects.

Southview designers and crews are Minnesota GreenStar-Trained.

This means we are experts at using landscaping best practices to reduce the environmental impact of building and remodeling projects, and restore air and water quality. Key individuals from Southview Design are currently serving on GreenStar committees – helping to establish and implement green landscaping standards for building and remodeling.

In addition to our participation in GreenStar, we look for ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle in our homes and at work. We’ve significantly cut the amount of waste we generate in the office, and hope to begin work this season on a landscaping project that will significantly reduce the runoff from our office and parking lot.

To learn more about how landscaping can reduce your carbon footprint, contact us, and ask to meet with a GreenStar-trained landscape designer.
