A Lawn Is Alive
This simple statement may seem obvious, but many people see their lawn as a green outdoor carpet free of imperfections that stays uniformly green all summer. As seasons progress, a healthy lawn responds to moisture, heat, and other natural phenomena. Organic Soil Solutions makes your lawn and soil as healthy and happy as possible. We promote deep roots, plenty of leaf surface, and lots of biology in the soil, so the grass can get the air, water, and food it needs. We provide the foundation for a healthy lawn to meet the challenges and accept the gifts that Mother Nature provides. We use a completely organic and proactive approach to plant and soil health care.
The Organic Soil Solutions program renews, revitalizes, corrects, and conditions your soil. Healthy living soil leads directly to healthy thriving trees, shrubs, and lawns. To preserve your landscaping investment, start with the most basic component—your soil.
We are available for your organic lawn and landscaping needs.

Lawn Maintenance
Lawn Maintenance is a big part of our business and it goes far beyond mowing your grass.
“I want to take this opportunity to say thank you for the years of wonderful care you and your men took of the lawn. It really looked SO much better after you started working with it! Please give my personal thanks to Doug, who, as you know, I can’t say enough good things about. I

“Just a quick note to give special kudos to Brian and Alfredo, they came to do overseeding today, the lawn looks so terrific there was not much of that needed, but we had a truck that had to back over the lawn with a load of bricks and compressed ruts across part of the lawn.
Bob P. Boxborough, MA

“Very Professional! Workers were kind enough to remove stray toys out of the yard and didn’t complain when my 4-year-old kept asking them questions about what they were doing! We are a work in progress. Was in pretty bad shape to begin with. There’s actually grass growing this year! They are definitely coming

“Thanks so much…I cringe when I see the little yellow flags go up on lawns to keep pets and children off after toxic chemicals have been applied. I wish I had gone natural years ago.
Cyndy O. Acton, MA

“Love your newsletter, thanks for the great service this year. I love it that our dogs can roll around in the grass and I have no fear of poisoning them. As long as I have a lawn, Organic Soil Solutions will be the solution for me.
Andrea B. Newton, MA

“The team came once or twice a month to seed, to fertilize, to rake and clear the lawn. After each visit, Mike would leave a letter explaining what was done and how we could help the lawn. They basically gave us our lawn back. And, it’s all organic!! If we had questions or changes to

“The company was contacted in July 2013 because I was tired of hit or miss attempts on my part at caring for our lawn. Based on reviews and a visit by Mike, I was impressed by the program which uses organic fertilizers along with slice seeding, aerating and application of lime after taking soil samples
Richard B. Billerica, MA

“When we went organic my husband was skeptical that our lawn would look as good as our neighbor’s chemically managed lawn. The first year was tough on the lawn, but as Mike would reiterate, that is normal because most of the activity and fortification is happening in the soil and roots of the grass. It

“I used Organic Soil Solutions to put down new topsoil and reseed my entire lawn. I now use them for seasonal lawn fertilization and treatment. They are good and we are amazed. Our grass had been burned out last summer and we had somebody else taking care of it and they did not succeed.
Mary L. Wellesley, MA

“Katie and I wanted to let you know how great we think our yards look right now thanks to your crew’s excellent edging and mulching job…This morning, Katie remarked to me that “those guys really know how to make the flower beds look great”, and how much she appreciated having time for us to do

LATE SPRING FERTILIZER
Organic Soil Solutions uses a soy fertilizer that is good food for the biology. The bacteria and fungi eat it up and release nutrients as they are needed by the plants. Unlike water soluble chemicals, the fertilizer will not run into the streams and rivers with the next big rain. It…
NOW IS THE TIME FOR CHANGE
Like a politician courting voters in New Hampshire, we should be enticing the birds and butterflies to our yards. I wrote this blog in 2016 after the first time I saw Doug Tallamy speak. I saw him the other night at a jam packed auditorium in Cambridge and the place was rocking. …
GLOBAL WILDLIFE DECLINE
It’s not that I am old, but I remember vividly the first Earth Day in 1970. I was in college at UNH and taking a class in something nobody had ever heard of – ecology, the branch of biology that deals with the relation of organisms to one another and…
GRASS SEED- HOW IT’S GROWN
An old seed merchant once told me, “Mike, you’ve got to make a pilgrimage to the Willamette valley in Oregon where all the grass seed is grown.” Since my brother lives near there, I did. This farm grows mostly tall fescue, perennial rye and fine fescue. The farmers were really…
CLOVER… A GOOD FRIEND TO SOIL, LAWNS AND BEES
There is a lot of clover this year and people love it or hate it. To put it in perspective, I would like to share the view of clover before the advent of broadleaf weed killer. This is from the scientist who introduced 2,4-D to the landscape. He lamented the…
MOSQUITO AND TICK SPRAY FOR YOUR YARD
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported a threefold increase in cases of illnesses transmitted to humans by mosquitoes and ticks in the last 15 years. Making matters worse, nine new pathogens emerged for the first time in the U.S. during this same period. When temperatures rise, the time between…
SOIL DRENCH
We all have to eat. In a forest, leaves fall and enrich the undisturbed soil. Bacteria and fungi decompose the litter and provide nutrients to the trees. In a residential garden bed that has been turned over, dug up and may not have such good soil to begin with, things…
SLICE SEED & FERTILIZER
Today we slice seeded and added the early fall fertilizer to your lawn. We’ve been working to improve the soil through the year, and now is the time when we can really make things happen. Lawns were looking pretty good this year until we hit hot and humid in August…
COMPOST TEA 2018
Today, we applied biology and nutrients to refresh the life in the soil and improve the population. The bacteria, fungi, nematodes and protozoa are the life blood of the soil. They say nothing gets done in Washington because no one wants to compromise. Here at Organic Soil Solutions we like…
DEAR ORGANIC SOIL SOLUTIONS CUSTOMER
Today, we applied the late spring fertilizer to your lawn. Organic Soil Solutions uses a soy fertilizer that is good food for the soil biology. I recently read an article in the NY Times by Curt Stager titled ‘The Silence of the Bugs’. He chronicles research finding a loss of over…
