Environmental Policy Statement

At Charm City Landscapes, LLC, we are committed to designing and maintaining landscapes that enhance the natural beauty of Maryland while promoting environmental sustainability. As stewards of the land, we integrate ecological best practices into every project to minimize our environmental footprint and support the health of local ecosystems.

We recognize that landscapes have a significant impact on the environment, from water conservation and soil health to biodiversity and carbon sequestration. Our environmental policy reflects our dedication to sustainable landscaping principles that benefit both our clients and the greater Chesapeake Bay region.

✅ Native and Adaptive Plant Selection
We prioritize the use of Maryland native plants that support pollinators, improve soil health, and reduce the need for irrigation, fertilizers, and pesticides. We also incorporate non-invasive, naturalized species that provide year-round interest and ecosystem benefits.

✅ Water Management and Stormwater Best Practices
We design and install stormwater management solutions, including rain gardens, dry riverbeds, bioswales, permeable hardscapes, and native plant buffers, to reduce runoff, filter pollutants, and improve water infiltration.

✅ Soil Health and Regenerative Landscaping
We utilize organic soil amendments, compost, and cover crops to improve soil structure and enhance microbial life. When possible, we practice no-till landscaping and minimal disturbance techniques to protect soil health.

✅ Reduced Chemical Use & Organic Approaches
Our landscape maintenance approach limits the use of synthetic fertilizers and herbicides, opting instead for organic, integrated pest management (IPM) strategies that foster resilient plant communities and reduce chemical runoff into waterways.

✅ Waste Reduction and Recycling
We aim to reduce, reuse, and recycle landscaping materials, including mulching leaves and yard waste, repurposing hardscape materials, and composting plant debris whenever possible.

✅ Energy Efficiency and Low-Impact Equipment
We are transitioning towards the use of battery-powered landscaping tools and fuel-efficient equipment to reduce carbon emissions and noise pollution.

✅ Client Education and Community Engagement
We actively educate our clients on sustainable landscaping practices and encourage the adoption of environmentally friendly maintenance techniques. Through community partnerships, workshops, and outreach, we advocate for green infrastructure and conservation landscaping in Baltimore and beyond.
