Sunset Specialty Groundcover, Suwannee County
Sunset Specialty Groundcover improves environmental quality using ornamental perennial peanut, a drought-tolerant and low-maintenance groundcover. This reduces the need for water, mowing and chemical inputs while helping improve soil and water quality. Overall, these practices support long-term resource conservation and sustainable landscaping.
Since its establishment, Mr. Jerry Stageman has incorporated BMPs by using precision technologies like GPS, grid sampling and water monitoring. Their participation in FDACS cost-share programs shows a continued commitment to conservation practices. These efforts highlight a proactive approach to improving efficiency while protecting natural resources.
These conservation practices also provide strong economic costs. Reduced water use, mowing, and inputs increase efficiency and minimize waste, leading to overall savings. This approach supports both profitability and long-term sustainability for the business.
