From helping clean the air and trapping stormwater runoff to temperature cooling and mental health benefits, healthy lawns not only look great, they provide numerous benefits to people, communities, and our environment… especially when they managed and cared for organically.

Safer, eco-friendly and effective, caring for lawns organically builds healthy soils, encourages deeper root growth, reduces watering requirements and helps your lawn thrive naturally.

This article provides a quick overview of the essential components that make up an effective organic lawn care program,

Organic Weed Control

Pre-emergent weed control applications in early spring help 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. Timing is key. As the we move into late spring and summer 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.

Compost Topdressing

Topdressing turf with a thin layer of locally made, high-quality compost puts additional organic matter and biology into your soils and root zones which feeds and houses beneficial microbes and stores and releases nutrients and water.

Compost Teas and Microbial Soil Punch

Crafted by our own plant and soil nerds, they help nourish your plants and soils quickly and effectively with lasting beneficial impacts.

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.
