What is organic landcare?


What is organic landcare?


Obtain that rich green lawn the natural way:

Organic land care begins with the soil.  Restoring the soil with vital nutrients and organisms is the key to rebuilding and maintaining its natural "immune system". Organic land care prudces lawns, plants and gardens that are more naturally resistant to weeds, disease and pests. Re-building the natural ecosystem in your soil will also restore its structure; leading to more resistance to drought and ideal growing conditions.  Implementing an Organic land care regiment paves the way for a sustained environment producing flourishing lawns and plants.

Why Organic?


Why Organic?


Here are the main reasons why so many people are now choosing organic land care:

Family & Pet Friendly: An organic land care program is safe for your family and your pets. Many scientific studies have concluded that synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and other chemical components used in landscaping are known carcinogens. Our organic land care practices are 100% free of synthetic fertilizers, toxic pesticides and other chemical components.

Low Maintenance: Proper selection of the best adapted grass species and varieties, site preparation, lawn installation and correct maintenance practices are key to a successful organic landscape. By promoting deep root development and healthy soil in your landscape we help to make it more self sustainable, meaning less maintenance. Once established, your lawn and garden will require less material inputs, such as watering, fertilizers, pest management products, etc.

Safe for the Environment:  Fertilizers and pesticides seep into the water table and contaminate our water resources; responsible organic lawn and garden practices help prevent this. By avoiding the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, we also encourage beneficial species diversity. How? Well, treating a landscape with a synthetic fertilizer, pesticide or other chemical will not only target the pests (mosquitoes, grubs, etc), it can kill everything. That means even then good guys (beneficial insects & microbes) earthworms, birds, ladybugs, bees, nematodes etc. 

 

Environmental impact

Your landscape may be small, but the combined impact of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers and water use across our area is huge.

 

Sustainability

Our goal is to create landscapes that require fewer material inputs while having a positive impact on the environment.

How does It Work?


How does It Work?


Organic VS. Chemical

Our organic program works with nature to enrich your soil, rather than depleting it, as chemical treatments do. Some chemical lawn care companies solve problems by applying more and more chemicals. Their chemicals encourage quick grass growth, giving the illusion of a healthy lawn, when in reality they have created an environment more susceptible to drought stress, disease and pest problems. These same companies can then charge you to apply toxic pesticides to take care of your new pest problem. These pesticides not only kill the problem bugs, but also the beneficial insects that help keep pests in check. Chemical lawn care creates a never-ending cycle, in which your family, the environment and your landscape lose.

Improving your soil


 

Improving your soil


 

Soil quality is the most important factor in plant care. If you have healthy soil, you can grow healthy grass. Unfortunately many homeowners are left struggling to grow plants in soil that is compacted, depleted and not capable of providing plants with the nutrients and structure they need to thrive.

The addition of organic matter increases the soil drainage, structure, water holding capabilities and the ability of soil to hold nutrients. We recommend top dressing with compost right after aeration, this allows the compost to reach the root zone, where it is most effective.
