Through rigorous third party verification, our ongoing impacts are measured across five key areas:

ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVES

From helping with invasive fish management to composting to reducing noise pollution in your community.

  • biota HQ is fully powered by the sun.
  • Our solar panels power our building, battery operated tools, and our newest battery-operated vehicles.
  • We design regenerative landscapes using native plants, water‑efficient systems, and green infrastructure that support biodiversity.
Green Mulch Planting: Low-growing plant systems that suppress weeds, retain moisture, and eliminate the need for annual hardwood mulch.
Site-Specific Design: Plant selections tailored to your landscape’s natural ecology for long-term health and biodiversity.
Zero-Emission Maintenance: Battery-operated horticulture tools that are quiet, clean, and emission-free.
Edible Gardens: Custom Victory Gardens designed to provide fresh, seasonal produce for your home.
Responsible Waste Management & Operations: All project debris is sorted and green waste composted. Repurpose debris to create “bug hotels,” keeping their habitat intact until these pollinators hatch in the spring. Facility-wide composting, recycling, and landfill reduction.
Innovative Soil Health: Locally sourced, organic fertilizer made from invasive carp to support sustainable plant growth.

INITIATIVE. INNOVATION. ATTITUDE. EXCELLENCE.

  • Our core values attract and sustain like-minded professionals.
  • We pride ourselves on long-term employee retention – designed for longevity, just like the landscapes we create.
