At TruScape, we believe that a beautiful landscape shouldn't come at the expense of our environment. As a company rooted in the natural beauty of Westmoreland and Allegheny counties, we are committed to sustainable practices that not only enhance your property but also protect and nurture the planet we all share. Our dedication to sustainability is woven into every aspect of our operations, ensuring that our impact on the environment is as positive as the transformation we bring to your landscape. Here’s how we incorporate sustainability into every aspect of our work.

Composting Leaf Waste: Turning Waste into Wealth

Autumn leaves are more than just a sign of the changing seasons—they’re an opportunity to enrich the soil. Instead of sending leaf waste to the landfill, TruScape collects and composts it. This compost is then used to nourish the soil, providing essential nutrients that promote healthy plant growth. By composting, we reduce waste, cut down on greenhouse gas emissions, and create a natural fertilizer that helps your landscape thrive.


Composting leaf waste is a simple yet powerful way to give back to the earth. By converting organic material into nutrient-rich compost, we close the loop in the natural cycle of life. This process not only improves the quality of your soil but also supports the broader ecosystem by returning essential nutrients to the earth. With TruScape, your fallen leaves don’t go to waste—they contribute to a healthier, more sustainable environment.

Mulching Grass Clippings: A Natural Fertilizer

When it comes to mowing, TruScape embraces a 'cut it and leave it' philosophy. By mulching grass clippings instead of bagging them, we return vital nutrients back to the soil. This process not only reduces the need for chemical fertilizers but also helps maintain soil moisture, keeping your lawn lush and green while conserving water. Our approach to lawn care is both effective and environmentally responsible, ensuring that your grass stays healthy and vibrant without the use of harmful chemicals.


Mulching grass clippings is a win-win for your lawn and the environment. The clippings decompose quickly, releasing nutrients like nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus that feed your grass naturally. This method not only enhances the health of your lawn but also reduces the amount of waste generated, making your lawn care routine more sustainable. With TruScape, your lawn becomes a self-sustaining ecosystem, thriving on the natural resources it generates.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Protecting Plants and Pollinators

Our approach to pest control is both effective and environmentally friendly. TruScape practices Integrated Pest Management (IPM), a strategy that focuses on long-term prevention of pests through a combination of techniques such as biological control, habitat manipulation, and careful monitoring. By minimizing the use of chemical pesticides and targeting only harmful pests, we protect the beneficial insects and pollinators that are crucial to a healthy ecosystem. This balanced approach ensures that your landscape remains beautiful and thriving without compromising the environment.

IPM is a comprehensive and sustainable approach to pest management that prioritizes the health of your plants and the environment. By integrating various control methods and reducing reliance on chemicals, we create a safer and healthier outdoor space. This not only protects your plants from damage but also supports the broader ecosystem by safeguarding pollinators and beneficial insects. With TruScape, your landscape is managed with care and consideration for all living creatures.

Efficient Irrigation Management: Conserving Water, Cultivating Health

Water is a precious resource, and at TruScape, we take irrigation management seriously. We design and maintain irrigation systems that ensure your plants receive the right amount of water at the right time, without waste. Through smart controllers, drip irrigation, and regular system audits, we maximize water efficiency, reducing runoff and conserving this vital resource. Our irrigation practices not only keep your landscape healthy but also align with our commitment to environmental stewardship.

Efficient irrigation management is key to sustainable landscaping. By carefully monitoring and adjusting water usage, we prevent waste and ensure that every drop counts. Our advanced irrigation systems are designed to provide just the right amount of water, promoting deep root growth and overall plant health. With TruScape, your landscape not only looks beautiful but also supports water conservation efforts, helping to preserve this vital resource for future generations.

Planting of Annuals: Adding Beauty with a Purpose

Annual plants play a crucial role in our sustainable landscaping practices. By carefully selecting and planting annuals that are suited to the local climate, we reduce the need for excessive watering and fertilization. These plants not only bring vibrant color and life to your garden but also support local biodiversity by attracting pollinators and beneficial insects. At TruScape, we believe that beauty and sustainability go hand in hand, and our approach to planting annuals reflects this philosophy.

The planting of annuals is more than just an aesthetic choice—it’s a commitment to sustainability. By choosing plants that thrive in our local environment, we reduce the environmental impact of our landscaping practices. These carefully selected plants require less water, fewer chemicals, and less maintenance, making them a sustainable choice for your garden. With TruScape, your garden becomes a haven for both beauty and biodiversity, supporting a healthy and vibrant ecosystem.
