It's All About the Soil
Have a healthier lawn by
leaving the grass clippings, mowing on the highest setting and eliminating the chemical fertilizers, herbicides & pesticides.
Add compost for soil nutrition and water holding abilities and then water less.
You will be creating a soil sponge. This sponge is home to millions of microbes that help the plants grow and stay healthy.
The soil sponge also helps to reduce runoff during extreme rains
Plan your planting and seeding to work with Mother Nature and the local small water cycles "Rain".
Try reducing the amount of lawn and planting the outside edges with local native pollinator plants and flowers.
You will be happy with the results and less work.
