Competition, Copycats, and a Cleaner Environment - Why it Matters

Lately we’ve noticed a few lawn-care companies borrowing our wording—and, occasionally, our ideas. Does that bother us? Absolutely not! One of Be Green Pro’s founding goals was to make eco-friendlier lawn care so attractive that customers would settle for nothing less, and other lawn care companies would follow our lead—(as long as they’re actually making improvements and not just green-washing.) Every time another company swaps out harsh chemicals for lower-toxicity options, the environment wins—and so do you.

‍

Over the past fifteen years we’ve been more than service providers; we’ve been scientists who build soil, weather watchers, and neighbors who remember the name of your dog. Every season we head back to the workshop to adjust formulas, tweak processes, update technology, listen to pain points, research products, and shift schedules for the ever-changing, quirky climate. That relentless tinkering—plus the trust you place in us—keeps our lawns greener and our partnerships stronger.

• Fifteen years of refining our recipe. From house-made fertilizers to natural insect solutions, we keep perfecting products that work for Wisconsin soils and weather.
• Local, female-veteran-owned, family-operated. We make decisions here, not in a distant boardroom.
• Relationship-based service. Our customers are partners and friends; many have grown with us since day one.
• Industry influencers. Lowering the chemical footprint has always been our niche. We’re thrilled others are adopting the same mission.

When you invite us onto your lawn, you get small-batch blends made for local landscapes, a technician who can point out last year’s trouble spots by memory, and a company that stands behind our commitment to communicate and treat your property with care. Live Greener, Grow Better, and Enjoy More isn’t just a slogan—it’s the North Star guiding every decision we make to build sustainable communities through healthier landscapes and stronger connections with nature.

Running a lawn-care company means planning for 70 ° sunshine and a surprise frost—sometimes in the same week. We’ve learned to stay curious, listen harder than we talk, and design systems that flex instead of fracture. Those habits lead to two guiding truths:

• Things always change. Weather shifts, customer needs evolve, and science moves forward. Staying nimble keeps us sharp.
• Competitors always win—when they compete with themselves. The best companies keep pushing their own boundaries rather than obsessing over someone else’s price list.

Our team reviews every service route nightly, logging successes and slip-ups before sunrise huddles. That constant feedback loop—owning mistakes, celebrating wins, and pivoting fast—means your lawn benefits from the freshest data and our fiercest determination to stay one step ahead of wild weather trends.

‍

Our team kicks off each day with a sunrise huddle to review yesterday’s wins and misses, track trending weeds, diseases, invasives, and insects, triage overnight customer messages, and fine-tune the schedule. Every possibility gets explored, and every obstacle is an invitation to raise the bar:

• Face the reality of change—review results, actively update, own mistakes, and learn fast.
• Lean into obstacles—test, research, and improve.
• Set uncomfortable goals—if it feels too easy, aim higher, dig deeper, while staying friendly and efficient.
• Invest in continuous training—weekly field workshops and cross-training sessions keep every field expert and office team member at the top of their game.
• Translate university research into yard-ready practices—by learning from local turf-science extensions to turn fresh data into actionable solutions for local lawns.
• Tackle tough diagnoses as a team—when a mysterious challenge appears, our field-expert technicians and on-staff Chief of Horticulture combine their knowledge and seek answers from suppliers, industry leaders, and scientists to identify the culprit and craft a fix—usually within hours.

For us, “good enough” just isn't good enough—it’s only the starting line. Our pesticide-reduction mission pushes us to vet new bio-based actives every season, delivering solutions that leave the lowest footprint possible while still conquering weeds, grubs, and ticks—without blanketing your yard, or the planet, in unnecessary chemistry.

‍

Want to copycat us? Go for it! Reduce toxicity, raise quality, and treat customers like partners. If everyone levels up, the entire community benefits. From homes to businesses—and from pets and wildlife to waterways and whole ecosystems—all stand to thrive. We’ll keep blazing trails—feel free to follow, collaborate, or innovate right alongside us.

‍

Our clients tell us it’s the “little big things”: the same field expert technician who remembers grandkids’ graduation dates, the mid-season email that explains why the lawn suddenly looks stressed, the handwritten note after a storm. Those moments sit on top of the science:

• Proprietary, organic-based formulas mixed for our local climate.
• Constant R&D—we field-test new natural ingredients every season.
• Targeted service—no blanket sprays when spot-treating will do.
• Communications customized to notify in advance and offer insights on best care.
• Community focus—we sponsor events, support local suppliers, and hire locally.

Yes, our programs carry a premium—but excellence has a price. If you’re truly searching for something sustainably different, you won’t find it by choosing the same service under another name. That added investment fuels the extra ten minutes your field-expert technician spends walking the property with you, the top-tier products, people, and equipment we refuse to compromise on, the seamless technology that keeps you informed, and the community initiatives we proudly nurture. Our promise is simple: the healthiest lawn that science and nature can grow, delivered with heart-level service you can feel.

Your Take-Away

Healthy competition pushes everyone forward. We welcome it—provided the changes are real—because it proves sustainable lawn care is no longer a niche; it’s the new standard. So go ahead, competition—keep getting better. We’ll keep innovating, and together we’ll grow greener neighborhoods for all.
