21 years on the ground
[[PENDING: 3–5 sentences from Chris — where he's worked, types of sites (schools, parks, campuses, HOAs/commercial), what he learned, why organic/regenerative]]
Draft scaffold
Chris started in the field in [[year]], working on [[types of properties]]. Over two decades he saw the same problems repeat — compacted soil, weed pressure, routine spraying — and the same fix work again and again: healthier soil and smarter decisions. Reed's Regenerative Landcare was built on that approach.
Why “regenerative”?
Regenerative landcare means leaving the ground healthier than we found it. We feed soil biology instead of just the grass, keep beneficial insects working for us, and reduce the need for pest and weed treatments season after season. The method behind it is explained in what is integrated pest management and our sustainable IPM approach.
How does Chris work?
- Owner on every job
- Written plans before work begins
- Service logs after every visit
- Clear communication with facilities and site staff
- Respect for students, staff and the public using the grounds
