In short

Tell us your lawn size, climate and what you’re replacing, and we estimate the environmental impact of the switch — grounded in published EPA figures and our verified species data. Useful for your own satisfaction, an HOA or grant submission, or a company’s sustainability reporting.

Why measure

“Better for the planet” deserves a number

It’s easy to say a low-input lawn is greener; it’s more useful to know by how much. An impact report turns the switch into concrete figures you can act on, share, or submit — and keeps us honest about what the change actually delivers.

What we estimate

Four grounded metrics

Methodology

How the numbers are built

We combine your inputs — lawn area, climate/zone, prior watering and mowing habits, and the species you’re planting — with published reference figures from EPA WaterSense (residential outdoor water use) and EPA (lawn-and-garden equipment emissions), plus our own verified species data for water need, mowing frequency and pollinator value. Every figure in the report is sourced so you can see exactly where it comes from.

Estimates, transparently — not guarantees

These are good-faith estimates based on published averages and the details you give us; your real-world results depend on your previous lawn, your climate, and how you care for the new planting. We show our working and our sources rather than hand you a single hero number to take on faith.

Who uses it

Where a report helps

Homeowners use it to quantify a conversion and support HOA or rebate submissions; businesses and institutions use it for sustainability and ESG reporting; schools and community groups use it to make the impact tangible for a grant or a class.

Specifics

Scope & pricing

Reports range from a one-page household summary to a detailed institutional document, so we scope and quote per project. Tell us about your site and what you need the report for.
