In a city known for its charm, history, and natural beauty, one local business owner is making sure our outdoor spaces stay just as healthy as they are picturesque.
Bob Blaschke (pictured), owner of Clean Air Lawn Care Charleston, is on a mission to reshape what lawn care looks like in the Lowcountry. He is ditching the gas-powered mowers, synthetic chemicals, and noise pollution in favor of a cleaner, greener alternative.
With a background in engineering, Bob isn’t your average lawn guy. After moving from Fort Mill, SC to Charleston to be closer to his kids and grandkids, he and his wife set out to build something meaningful for the community. Eco-friendly lawn care was a natural fit.
“I’d been using battery-powered lawn equipment for years,” Bob says. “The organic approach works and is better for kids, pets, and the planet. It just makes sense.”
Through Clean Air Lawn Care Charleston, Bob uses solar-powered and robotic lawn equipment paired with organic fertilizers and soil treatments that are safe for people, pollinators, and local waterways. His services not only eliminate the fumes and noise of traditional lawn care, they help create truly healthy lawns from the soil up.
His engineering roots also inspire a modern twist: robotic mowers. “Robotic mowing can keep your lawn perfectly manicured without a crew regularly moving through your yard,” he explains.
Bob’s work is more than just a business. It’s an example of community-driven climate action, cutting emissions, reducing chemical runoff, and protecting biodiversity. And it directly supports Charleston’s Net Zero by 2050 goals.
“No gas. No synthetic chemicals. No noise pollution,” says Bob. “Just healthy, quiet yards that are good for families and the planet. We truly are caring for our Earth one lawn at a time.”
As Charleston continues to grow and evolve, Bob’s vision of sustainability and service is a powerful reminder that even the way we care for our lawns can contribute to a better, healthier future.
