Black Rose Landscaping
—Phillip Anthony Rich, Founder
“We are so pleased to find a panel of businesses supporting each other in the fight against climate change. Each business taking small, but tangible steps towards a common goal makes for a large difference collectively which can encourage other locations to join in on the initiative. We’re excited to be a part of the ripple effect that we believe will turn into a title wave creating a new standard of living.”
About Black Roses Landscaping
We are your premier local landscapers creating outdoor spaces that welcome you home. Using fully organic products and electronically powered tools we have your children and pets in mind as well as our next generation as we work. We provide gardening, lawn care, turf building services as well as a few pest control services. Our mosquito spray is a repellent for ants, fleas, ticks, Japanese beetles and so much more while still safe for beneficial bugs like bees and butterflies as well as your children and pets. For those working from home or taking care of children, our tools create less noise so that sleeping babies are not disturbed as we perform services.
Black Roses Landscaping and Green Business Alliance
Black Roses Landscaping is proud to partner with C3 and it’s members to make visible changes to our approach in climate change. We not only want to share best practices, but find ways to encourage other companies to take steps in sustainability in ways that directly affect their work environment as well as the individuals / businesses they serve.
What We’ve Done
By utilizing only USDA Certified organic / OMRI certified organic products we are bringing premium products for our customers to see real results in shortest amount of time. We want to encourage the use of these products and that happens when people see and feel the results quickly.
By utilizing the latest technology in battery powered equipment our professional landscapers see and feel the effectiveness of the tools that we use and enjoy using them. This creates a buy in from our landscaping professionals and as we are using them we hope that other companies see that they can do the same and complete jobs with the same efficiency or more efficiently than the gasoline powered tools.
We have been featured on the PBS television show Virginia Home Grown Season 26, Episode 2 titled “Sustainable Landscaping” in April 2026.
What We’re Working on
Climate change must be a business goal as well as a personal goal so we are investing in our community by offering real employment incentives for those who become Virginia Certified Horticulturists through the Virginia Nursery and Landscape Association. We believe that education is the key to sustainable practices and that the personnel who obtain this credential should be paid well for their knowledge. The goal is that this knowledge spreads and as well as the confidence in the use of electronically powered tools that we use promoting other companies to do the same.
