There's a new lawn care company coming to Bellingham that uses environmentally friendly equipment to get things done.

Clean Air Lawn Care is opening franchises in what it considers progressive areas where people are concerned about their quality of life, and Bellingham fits that profile, according to a company press release.

"This is our first year franchising and we selected Bellingham as one of the top 25 target areas in the country," said Kelly Giard, company CEO.

Clean Air Lawn Care is a lawn maintenance company that uses electric and biodiesel powered equipment. The vehicles that haul this equipment have mounted solar panels, which are used to charge the electric equipment during the workday. All grass clippings are mulched or composted

In 2007, the Colorado-based company opened eight locations across the country, including Seattle and Portland. The company decided on franchising to continue the growth.

The Bellingham franchise is owned by Robert Brulotte. The company will begin operations locally in late February. For more information about the Bellingham franchise, call 715-2375 or e-mail Brulotte at rob@cleanairlawncare.com.
