Is Organic Lawn Care Worth It?

A lawn is not just a bunch of grass—it’s a whole ecosystem with parts working together in healthy harmony. The beauty of a great lawn is the result of having a healthy soil ecosystem. An organic approach to lawn care provides for a delicate balance of nutrients which support your lawn so it can be healthy.

 

What is Organic Lawn Care?

 

It’s helpful to think of organic lawn care in contrast to more conventional lawn care which uses artificial and synthetic materials without concern for the underlying soil.  Conventional lawn care tends to focus exclusively on quick and inexpensive methods to make the grass green, while organic methods focus on the overall health of the lawn (from the roots up). You need a healthy soil to have a great lawn.

 

Is Organic Lawn Care More Expensive?

 

A professional lawn care company which uses organic methods may not charge more per visit and consumers typically end up spending less money over the long term.  Remember, the professional knows exactly what products are needed to make your yard look great and what other services, like aeration, insect control (organic sprays only), and weed control are needed to save you the most money over time.

 

What is Conventional Lawn Care?

 

A conventional approach focuses on “steroid” lawn care and only treats the symptoms of a problem. This approach never corrects the problem and leave brown patches of burned up grass. Unnecessary chemical use has also been linked to health problems, from skin irritation to cancer. The pesticides and chemicals conventional lawn care uses to kill pests are not healthy for the environment—or people.

 

What is Biorational Lawn Care? *

 

A professional lawn care company using biorational products helps to protect the healthy ecosystem of a living lawn. Using organic products and applying proper amounts of fertilizer helps create strong, deep roots and encourages new growth while using safer, organic pest and weed control products.

 

Professional lawn care companies take into account variables such as grass types, rainfall, humidity level, wind speed, sunlight exposure, soil type, and slope of the land when making decisions about applying fertilizers or other chemicals.

 

This ensures the end result is a beautiful green lawn everyone wants to brag about. It doesn’t matter whether you live in a townhouse or on a farm, the professional knows how to make your yard look healthy all year long.

 

Should I Do the Lawn Myself or Hire a Professional?

 

Professional lawn care is an investment in your home and health. If you’re looking to save money, a professional will be able to give you a long-term program which keeps the weeds at bay for less cost per visit than with a do-it-yourself approach. Most homeowners don’t do enough research and end up spending more than what they would using a professional lawn care company.

 

Additionally, with professional lawn care, there’s no pressure to make decisions about buying or using chemicals. The service provider will offer options so you can choose what works best for your budget and time constraints. With professional lawn care, you’ll know exactly what is applied to your yard and why.

 

Is it worth paying for lawn care?

 

Having a lawn is an investment in your home and should not be considered a one-time event you only need every ten years. A lawn care service provider will periodically stop by to attend to the lawn so you can enjoy your home life, watch your kids play on it, walk your dog, and enjoy your outside property. It only makes sense you would want a service which was well-reviewed, highly competent, and a proven lawn care provider.  Consider NaturaLawn of America to be your partner in creating a great home lawn.
