Organic lawncare service

A beautiful, healthy lawn says a lot about a homeowner. There is no reason to spend hundreds of dollars a year on fertilizers and pesticides for your lawn and garden when there are better, cheaper, more natural options for lawncare treatment. An organic lawncare company can provide pesticide free lawn service at a price that competes with similar chemical lawncare services. Here are all the facts you should know about chemical verses natural lawncare options.

Pesticides
Americans spend nearly $700,000,000 to keep their lawns looking beautiful using harmful pesticides. Nearly 78 million pounds of pesticides are used in the U.S. each year, with the average suburban lawn containing nearly 10 times as many chemicals per acre as farmland. Globally, pesticides are responsible for nearly 1 million deaths per year, as those exposed to pesticides may suffer from birth or reproductive defects, liver or kidney damage, neurotoxicity, and even certain cancers. Considering how children and pets enjoy playing on lawns, concerned homeowners may want to switch to a pesticide free lawn service.

Fertilizer
Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are three of the most important elements that make up a fertilizer, yet each is a naturally occurring element that can be naturally integrated into the soil. Many people create compost bins to recycle food waste into a natural fertilizer. A study found that grass beds treated with a mixture of tea and other natural materials actually yielded root lengths that were two to four times longer than grass treated without the compost mixture. Many homeowners have adopted the practice of “grasscycling” where grass clippings are left on the lawn to help fertilize the lawn. By “grassscycling” homeowners can reduce the need for nitrogen-based fertilizers by up to 50%. Organic lawncare services not only help to improve the look and health of your lawn, but they also seek to end the use of harmful chemicals around people’s homes.
