Responsible Environmental Landscaping for the Chicago Area

At James Martin Associates, we not only work in the Greater Chicago area, we live here too. We are committed to enriching our environment through sustainable practices. These are just some of the ways we reduce waste and our carbon footprint:

  • Recycling both organic and non-organic job site materials
  • Selecting organic mulch instead of traditional hardwood bark, biodiesel instead of petroleum diesel, and liquid brine to reduce the use of rock salt
  • Utilizing route density to ensure our team is not sitting in traffic increasing emissions
  • Offering clients organic, environmentally friendly service options like robotic mowers and organic fertilizer

Landscape Maintenance
Design & Installation

We have had JMA manage our landscaping needs for over 5 years. They have done our landscaping beds, sod and even a patio with a pergola. The guys that come out weekly to cut our lawn are really terrific and do a great job at keeping up all the needs of a very large garden/lawn. Trimming plants and shrubs and making our lawn always look perfect! Really appreciate all of their hard work all year long.
