As we rebuild our house after a fire, the choices to be “green” are overwhelming. Windows, siding and floors all have varying degrees of “green”. I like to substitute the word “sensible” for “green”. You can live in a windowless cave that uses no heat or a bright, airy space that takes a more energy. I hope you find our organic lawn care services a “sensible” way to care for your lawn. Chemical fertilizers or pesticides are counter productive in an organic lawn care program. A sensible lawn is good looking, but not perfect, safe to chew on and 3” long.

Good soil, good seed and good people make for a great organic lawn.

Good soil is the key to life. I’ve been reading about all the civilizations that collapsed because people didn’t take care of their soil. Don’t let this happen to you. A soil with the right pH and plenty of room for air, water and roots allows your lawn to flourish. Our fertilizers and compost feed the soil. The soil feeds the plant.

Good seed thickens the lawn and crowds out weeds. A lawn is not a natural environment and our over seeding helps the grass compete with weeds that produce millions of seeds. We usually mow our lawns before they go to seed. Our tillering tall fescues, mixed with other varieties for biodiversity, provide a thick, green lawn that is safe and healthy. They produce deeper roots and survive Summer stress.

Good people make it happen. Organic lawn care is not based on a “throw & go” mentality where a worker tosses down a chemical to resolve a problem. It takes a lot of effort to improve the soil and plant the seed properly. The Organic Soil Solutions team is dedicated, hardworking and pleasant. They care about the work they do and it shows. Happy people make for happy grass. Our crew is inspired when your lawn looks good.
