Take delight in a vibrant, healthy lawn that is safe for kids, pets, & planet!

Our organic lawn service supports your lawn to look vibrant and healthy, maintaining curb appeal, while providing environmental benefits to humans and planet.

Organic vs Chemical Lawn

There is a fundamental difference between an organic lawn and a chemically treated lawn. The process of supporting and building healthy soil using organic lawn care methods leads to a different outcome ecologically. Organic lawns are functional outdoor living spaces for people and pets. They also build and foster thriving soil ecosystems that provide lasting health benefits to the broader ecological community. Organic lawns generally support more plant diversity than synthetically treated lawns. Clover is always a welcome addition to an organic lawn due to its nitrogen fixing qualities and pollinator support. Healthy lawns absorb more water than compacted lawns, preventing runoff and pollution of our Huron River. We never use 2,4-D or glyphosate.

 

Its All About the Soil!

Soil itself is an ecosystem that can be destroyed and restored in a similar way to above ground ecosystems. Healthy soil means more plant health & resiliency for whatever is growing in the soil.  Contrast that with a synthetically treated lawn where the soil beneath is contains residual contaminants from synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. In addition the synthetically treated lawn destroys the soil ecosystem so in effect the soil becomes dead matter that holds toxic residues instead of the beneficial fungi, bacteria, earthworms etc.. that comprise the living ecosystem of healthy soil.

Weed Management

Our weed management strategies include our iron-based weed treatment which provides good control of dandelions and most common lawn weeds. Long term, our lawn care service thickens up turf with over-seeding and feeds your soil to make strong, healthy, and dense grass that outcompetes weeds over time. Anyone interested in Organic Lawn Care acknowledges that an organic approach does not provide a 100% weed free lawn - we strive for a lawn that looks green and healthy, maintaining curb appeal, while providing environmental benefits to humans and planet alike.
