There is growing concern regarding the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides on our lawns, and their effects on our children’s health, the health of our pets and our environment.

Annually across the nation over 140 million pounds of toxic pesticides are applied to suburban lawns in pursuit of the perfect lawn or garden. Unfortunately, most home owners are not aware that many of the substances found in traditional lawn care products pose significant health risks. The chemicals are not only harmful to you, but also leach into our water supply. They kill the organisms in the soil that provide a healthy environment your grass needs to grow. Your grass becomes dependent on the chemicals to grow rather than getting its nutrients from the soil.

Today, you can have a healthy lawn without the use of synthetic chemical fertilizers and pesticides through the use of cultural practices and organic materials.
