OUR ECOCUT SERVICE BENEFITS INCLUDE:
According to the Government of Canada (One-Tone Challenge) a gasoline powered lawn mower emits about 48 kilograms (106 lbs) of greenhouse gas in one season. Gas-powered lawn mowers are very inefficient, which means that despite their small size they produce a lot of air pollution.
-
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY EQUIPMENT - Our ECOCUT services allow you to still hire professional property maintenance services, while reducing your carbon footprint and helping the environment. We use battery powered EGO equipment that is charged with solar energy to complete all work as part of this service package option.
-
REDUCED NOISE - Cordless electric mowers offer noise levels about 50% lower of those of their gas-powered counterparts. Source: Clean Air Foundation. Gasoline mowers generate noise over 100 decibels and hearing loss occurs around 90 decibels.
-
NO GROUND CONTAMINATION - A big problem with gasoline lawn mowers is the fuel spilled during refueling. Lawn and garden equipment users in California alone spill 17 million gallons of fuel each year while refilling their outdoor power equipment. Source: Clean Air Foundation. If each gasoline-powered lawn mower spills one litre of fuel per season, there would be 56 million liters of fuel spilled and leach into our groundwater.
-
BETTER FOR YOUR LUNGS AND OVERALL HEALTH - Ozone (generated from gasoline powered yard equipment) in the air we breathe can harm our health—typically on hot, sunny days when ozone can reach unhealthy levels. Even relatively low levels of ozone can cause health effects. People with lung disease, children, older adults, and people who are active outdoors may be particularly sensitive to ozone.
-
ORGANIC SUPPLIES - The use of organic products in gardening and lawn care significantly helps in combating ground and water pollution and favors micro environments that invite birds, animals and insects to a safer habitat (your garden and yard). We use leading organic products manufacturers and will only use those products that are safe for our homes and our environment. All of our fertilizer products are 100% organic.
-
A LEADER IN ALBERTA - We are a leader in our industry in Alberta by making a commitment to explore viable and sustainable alternatives to the traditional delivery of property maintenance services. Our new ECOCUT program is the first of many innovative and environmentally conscious efforts from HHS.
​
When 5% of Canada’s annual emissions come from our industry we need to proactively take steps to reduce our impact on our environment. You too as a prospective client can become involved in these changes by choosing our ECOCUT package and services. We are excited to address environmental noise, air and land pollution on a large scale previously performed through other (less desirable) means. We are committed to the elimination of measureable and meaningful amounts of CO2 emissions annually.
