The Essential Components of an Effective Organic Lawn Care Program
- 𝗣𝗿𝗲-𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 A pre-emergent helps to stop weed seeds from germinating in your lawn. The product we use is corn gluten based, is safe for children and pets and does not persist in soil. This service can be removed from any program if deemed unwanted or unnecessary.
- 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 Topdressing turf with a thin layer of locally made, high-quality compost puts additional organic matter and biology into your system. Organic matter feeds and houses microbes, and holds onto and releases nutrients and large amounts of water.
- 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗧𝗲𝗮 Compost tea is used to fulfill your plant and/or soil needs. Whether that be biological inoculant, biological food source, bio stimulant or organic fertilizer, compost is a great way to improve the overall health, resilience and beauty of lawns and plants.
- 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗮𝘆 We spot spray weeds (rather than blanket spray) using an organic iron based herbicide. The product we use is safe for children and pets and does not persist in soil.
- 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗙𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗿 We use a fertilizer with a NPK rate of 5-3-2 which is just high enough to give your soil, lawn, and plants a nudge but not high enough to pollute water running through and off your landscape.
- 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 Overseeding helps to fill in any bare spots in your lawn and helps keep weeds out. We overseed following aeration to ensure that the grass seed has adequate contact with the soil to germinate.
- 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Core aeration improves turf health by opening up space in the soil and thatch for beneficial water and air movement, helping to bring microbes to the surface that work to break down the thatch layer.
