Organic Lawn Care

Thursday, April 7th, 2011 at 12:36pm. 195 Views, 0 Comments.

Organic fertilizers are different from "traditional" fertilizers in that they are actually feeding the soil as opposed to just the plant. The fertilizer provides nutrients to the soil which the roots use to feed the plant with the end result being a healthier lawn.

The organic fertilizer products we use contain humus and organic matter that hold nutrients and water making them available to the lawn when needed.

The key benefits that you will notice with a consistent organic fertilizer program over time will be:

• Reduced water needs

• Thicker lawn
• Flower beds, trees, and shrubs will benefit with improved flower stand, bloom set, color, and intensity
• Overall healthier lawns with stronger roots systems
• Organic products…
