As we wrap up the summer season, the time has come to put away some of our lawn equipment, yet fall cleanup is in full swing. This period is critical for Steven’s Wack-N-Sack Lawn Service in Maylene, Alabama, as the company continues its commitment to sustainable practices. With the recent adoption of green energy solutions, Steven’s Wack-N-Sack is leading the way in reducing noise and emissions through solar energy and battery-powered equipment.
After a summer of bustling lawn care activities, Steven’s Wack-N-Sack is shifting gears to tackle seasonal cleanups with reduced impact on the environment. Owner Steven Gladstone has equipped two of his crews with cutting-edge, battery-powered equipment from Greenworks, which allows them to deliver the same professional service as before but with fewer emissions and significantly less noise. This shift towards eco-friendly practices is especially beneficial during fall, as crews handle leaf cleanup and other seasonal tasks without disturbing the neighborhood with the typical noise of gas-powered tools.
“There are countless advantages to using battery-powered lawn equipment,” says Gladstone. “Not only do we avoid the constant smell of gasoline, but we’ve also cut down on maintenance issues like replacing oil, filters, and carburetor fixes. With battery-powered tools, it’s as simple as pulling the trigger and getting to work.” Gladstone emphasizes that these changes don’t just benefit the environment but also increase productivity and reduce downtime for his team, ultimately resulting in more efficient service for customers.
Gladstone has long been experimenting with battery-powered solutions, but maintaining charge for an entire workday was always a challenge. In response, he invested in Solar Lawn Trucks—vehicles equipped with solar panels that allow crews to charge equipment batteries while on the job. This upgrade ensures that Wack-N-Sack’s teams never run out of power mid-task, enhancing reliability and workflow during fall cleanup when consistent power is essential.
Gladstone’s battery-powered fleet includes a variety of essential tools, such as string trimmers, edgers, pole pruners, and blowers, all designed to handle the tough demands of commercial landscaping. Each piece of equipment is built with high-quality, commercial-grade components and powered by lithium-ion batteries, providing extended runtimes and fast recharging, even during long days of cleanup and prep.
Founded in 2001 when Gladstone was just 14, Steven’s Wack-N-Sack Lawn Service has grown from a small start-up to a full-service landscaping company serving both residential and commercial clients. Now, as Gladstone heads into the fall season with a focus on green energy, he’s proud to offer services that are environmentally conscious while still meeting high standards of quality and efficiency.
As Alabama homeowners and businesses prepare their landscapes for the colder months, Steven’s Wack-N-Sack Lawn Service is ready to help with a greener approach to fall cleanup. From leaf removal to final mowings, Wack-N-Sack is committed to providing quiet, effective, and eco-friendly service.
