Business, the Earth Wizards Way

At Lilja Inc. we are passionate about environmental topics. So imagine our excitement when one of our clients operates a successful business based on a “green” business model.

This month, Todd Nelson at the Star Tribune wrote a profile on Twin Cities-based Earth Wizards – a Lilja client that transforms urban landscapes with a wise, Earth-friendly, and sensible approach.

The company was started in 2000 by Stacy Anderson, who got her start working in her father’s paving company. After a college chemistry class sparked her interest in environmental and water quality issues, Stacy took the paving company one step further and became committed to low-impact development and “greening” of urban spaces.

Now, 10 years later, Stacy and her team of landscape architects, biologists and contractors design projects that effectively balance urban development and water conservation, from permeable pavement to rain gardens and stormwater management systems.

From her start paving the Earth, Stacy is now saving the Earth… one project at a time!
