EcoNest Environmental Tree Policy

EcoNest maintains a strong environmental policy focused on tree preservation. Using spade trucks to relocate mature trees preserves ecosystems and maintains benefits like carbon sequestration, wildlife habitat, and stormwater management.

When relocation isn't feasible due to species, soil conditions, root systems, or tree health, EcoNest plants three trees for every one removed. This 3-to-1 ratio exceeds typical municipal requirements, ensuring long-term environmental benefits.

This dual approach of preservation first, followed by enhanced replacement when necessary, demonstrates a genuine commitment to environmental stewardship.

    Energy Storage

  • A green wind turbine or turbine part with three arrows pointing to key benefits: power grows cubically as wind speed grows, wind speed increases by 40% on average, and power triples compared to a regular turbine.

    Geothermal System

Eco-friendly house with a grass-covered roof beside a lake, surrounded by trees, with outdoor furniture on a wooden deck and a white umbrella on top.

Low-maintenance green roofs capture rainwater to reduce storm runoff while providing an elevated outdoor retreat for family relaxation, delivering both financial returns and enhanced quality of life.
