Green Guerrilla is an eco-friendly land management company.
We specialize in native garden/ natural area designs, applications, and maintenance. From conception to completion, our team is experienced creating pollinator gardens, turf-to-native, run-off storm water mitigation and other unique green-infrastructure projects for residential, HOA, commercial and campus properties. Green Guerrilla has the know how to assist in making your sustainable landscape ideas a substantially beneficial environment.
Green Guerrilla currently provides year-round groundskeeping for HOAs, commercial, school and campus properties using eco-friendly practices and integrated pest management. We also use no gasoline in weekly lawn maintenance eliminating spillage, significantly reducing emissions and is overall more sustainable for our natural environment than other traditional lawn care services. Our 80-Volt electric lawn power equipment emit no emissions and are significantly quieter for residents than the loud small engine gas powered equipment that other traditional landscaping companies use.
