Kat & Lincoln Lewis – Their Sustainable Start
In 2018 we were extremely blessed to be “liveaboards” on an Endeavor 38′ sailboat. Living on a mooring ball in Westport Point, MA for the summer was one of the best experiences of our lives. When we bought the boat, “Carrie Trade,” she was outfitted with batteries and two standard pump out toilets with holding tanks (yes, that’s pretty much as icky as it sounds). We swapped out one of the toilets for a composting toilet, eliminating the need for pump out. Next, after losing several fights with the two stroke outboard for our dinghy, we bought a battery powered outboard. We weren’t the fastest cruising to the docks but you could hardly hear us coming, and you never saw us struggling to turn the engine over! It was lightweight, clean and quiet and we were happy to compromise speed. Next we spent the first weekend of July (I remember distinctly working on July 4th preparing for an upcoming trip to Martha’s Vineyard) installing three 100w solar panels on the dinghy davits (the lift apparatus) at the stern of the boat.
Countless trips to the solar panel supplier, one endlessly patient sales guy, and three days of crawling around on the floor running wire and we were sailing off! The combination of solar panels to power our days and charge our batteries, and inflatable solar lamps to light up the night, gave us virtually zero reason to ever run the diesel motor. If we’d been better sailors, we could have sailed in and out of the harbor as well and never turned the motor on at all. Spending those quiet days and nights on the water was one of the most peaceful, satisfying ways to live.
Why Sustainable Lawn Care
We started CALC for one reason really – we know people are rightly concerned about their families, their pets and the environment and we want more than anything else to help. Having a solar panel installation business, has made clear the desire people have for sustainable products and a sustainable way of life. Clean Air Lawn Care can immediately improve our customers’ quality of life with Louisville sustainable lawn care; building healthier lawns which has a tremendous impact not just for individual families, but their community as well. Healthy lawns can offset a family’s carbon footprint 1 for 1 and if every lawn in a community does that, we would be creating something beautiful for all of us.
We believe we are, first and foremost, stewards. We don’t see what we “have” as belonging to us, but realize that we are taking care of it in this life. Whether it’s our bodies, our environment or our wealth. Sustainability is critical to all aspects of stewardship – if a thing isn’t sustained, it’s not being well cared for, and it can’t continue to be healthy and grow. We know from our own experience that “clean” is better – clean air, clean food, clean water, everything. That takes effort and patience. Just like going to the gym to build our health and vitality takes effort, so does creating a “clean” organic environment. We feel blessed to have two businesses that support that effort and that we can help create a better, sustainable environment for our communities and families.

Why Clean Air Lawn Care in St. Matthews?
I enjoy working with my hands and being able to see tangible results over time. Clean Air Lawn Care St. Matthews is a great opportunity to do work that is meaningful to me personally, as well as provide a service that is meaningful to our clients. If I can help customers maintain a good looking lawn which is also truly healthy (not only for their grass and plants, but for their children and pets as well), I am happy and feel like my work with Clean Air Lawn Care is fulfilling.
What sustainable habits do you have?
All of life is about sustainability in one way or another. Of course, my family attempts to reduce waste by recycling and using products which are meant to be reused rather than disposed. We have used electric lawn equipment whenever possible to maintain our yard (even before owning a organic and electric St. Matthews lawn care company) and try to avoid pesticides or cleaners that are dangerous to my kids or our dog.
Why do you think sustainable and organic lawn care important?
I view sustainable and organic lawn care through the principle of good stewardship. Taking appropriate care of ourselves, our possessions, and other responsibilities can be a balancing act, and sustainable and organic St. Matthews lawn care is a way of maintaining that balance. It gives us lawns which not only look healthy, but are healthy. It is healthy for the plant and animal life in the lawn, for our kids and pets who play in the lawn, and for the community at large by reducing the chemicals or gas exhaust that would be spread otherwise.
What is great about your community?
Louisville is a great city. My family and I moved here in 2011 and we cannot imagine raising our kids anywhere else. It’s a decent size city that has a real feeling of local community and as a father of a special needs child, we have found Louisville to be especially welcoming. It also has great local music, arts and food.
What else would you like to share?
I am married to Sarah and we have two active boys (Blake and Levi) as well as an old lady pug named Lucy.

I was hired to aerate and overseed a lawn yard. I used a core aerator to remove plugs of soil from the lawn, which allowed the seeds to penetrate deeper into the ground. I then spread the seed over the aerated areas and covered it with a thin layer of soil. I watered the lawn thoroughly to help the seeds germinate and establish a healthy lawn.
