Our philosophy

Learn more about our approach to environmentally sustainable design

An environmentally sound approach

An environmentally sound approachCottage built in environmentally sensitive area
Since 1997, we have been helping people improve the land and water around them through creative and innovative engineering practices that form a balance between development and the natural resources. We use the latest technologies, thoughtful designs, and environmentally sustainable concepts to maximize the enjoyment of your land and minimize long-term environmental impact.

At Mill River Consulting, we want to make your dream project a reality. We strive to understand your land and your project goals, and will embrace your project as if it were our own. We believe every project can balance the client’s vision, environmental site conditions and regulatory limits, with a thoughtful and creative approach.

We are committed to our environment and our community. At our Gloucester, Massachusetts, office, we have:
  • Solar panels on the roof of our building

  • Electricity supplied from 100% renewable sources
  • Energy Star-compliant roofing shingles
  • A low-water exterior plant maintenance program 
  • Pollinator-friendly landscape plantings
  • Yard debris brought to a local compost facility
  • A robust recycling program 

We also purchase goods from local suppliers when possible, purchase goods made in the United States when possible, and hire local staff from Cape Ann.
