Top Ten Benefits of Organic Lawn Care




So what are the benefits of switching to an organic lawn care program? Here's the Top Ten List from safelawns.org.

1.) Safety, for humans, animals, insects and the planet


2.) Better Health, for humans, animals, the lawns and the planet


3.) Water Conservation & Preservation, since water does not often become contaminated in organic systems, which also require less water than synthetic programs


4.) Soil Health & Sustainability, since organics builds organic matter and life within the soil


5.) Pest Reduction, since insects tend to be more attracted to out-of-balance synthetic systems


6.) Resource Conservation, since synthetic fertilizers are derived from fossil fuels and organic systems encourage recycling, and because organic systems emphasize less mowing


7.) Financial Savings through time, since organic systems become more independent as the soil is improved


8.) Environmental Preservation, including a reduction in greenhouse gases and global warming


9.) Noise Reduction from decreased reliance on power equipment


10.) Environmental Awareness from the organic practioners, who don’t rely on “four-step plans” and instead tend to become stewards of the land.








And here's another way to put when comparing an organic lawn care program to a chemical program. What is your first impression when you see a sign like this posted on a lawn? How can someone honestly say their service is safe, when they must by law post a sign like this in a yard they've just treated? I am proud to say, that no lawn I treat needs any such signage. My customers can rest assured that my products and services are 100% safe for their children, pets, and evironment.
