Licensing and Legal requirements for cannabis growers. We've helped dozens of clients navigate the process for cannabis licensing so they can get started as business owners in the legal marijuana grow industry. Additional legal requirements emerge throughout the process, in the form of regional ordinances, building/construction ordinances, water control and waste management regulations, rules for pesticides and other chemicals, air quality control, erosion control and flood planning, and a host of other potential legal obstacles and considerations you'll be forced to address in order to move forward in your journey.
Site planning, building and construction. Whether you're looking to build on property you already own or are interested in buying/leasing commercial warehouse space, Greenleaf Solutions consultants handle site planning, building and construction logistics from start to finish. Our site engineers can help you scout viable locations (including knowing areas to avoid, based on experience) and design comprehensive plans for both indoor and outdoor grow operations that include location information, site layout, electrical plans, lighting and equipment plans, water and waste management, air quality, filtration and humidity management, temperature controls, racks and supports, irrigation and enhancements, security, and more.
