We strive to utilize green practices whenever practicable. Our green lawn care program helps to reduce or eliminate the chemicals used in traditional lawn care programs. We know that many people prefer to keep their exposure to chemicals to a minimum. By reducing the chemicals used on your lawn, you can reduce the amount of chemicals tracked into your home.
Electric Equipment
We have transitioned some of our equipment to electric. While not all electric equipment is ready for commercial use, we have had success with certain electric tools. Our electric trimmers, blowers, and saws have done very well overall in most situations. We continue to monitor the progress of electric technology and look forward to incorporating more electric equipment into our business as it improves!
Better for the Environment
While lawn care chemicals can give you a great-looking lawn, they can actually be detrimental to the health of your soil, pets, the water supply, and wildlife. Reducing or eliminating chemicals with a custom green lawn care program will help improve the health of your soil, the environment, and your home. There are some options out there currently that are both affordable and useful; for example, soil builder is a great way to improve your soil health and possibly reduce synthetic fertilizers. Other options, like nematodes for grub control, are good options, but they are still too expensive for most homeowners. Top-dressing with compost is another alternative to synthetic fertilizer, but once again, the cost can be a bit higher than that of traditional methods. Other methods to help reduce environmental impact such as choosing natural mulch over dyed or rubber mulch are easy ways to keep your property looking nice without introducing more chemicals and hazards.
A Measured Approach
We can adjust the chemical use in your lawn care program based on your needs and goals. Some opt for a completely chemical free lawn program while others will want a reduction of chemical use, while still utilizing some chemicals to meet their lawn needs and goals. we will develop a plan specific to you. Like traditional lawn care programs, green lawn care programs have their strengths and weaknesses. We will go over the different aspects of both to allow you to make a decision that is right for you and your family.
