Reasons to Go Organic

It is healthier for the turf and landscapes
Our Organic service focuses on turf and landscape soil health. This means that our organic service will carefully analyze each segment of the over all condition of your turf and landscape that suits your particular micro-climate as well as the overall zone.

It helps create sustainable landscapes
A new set of ethics and expectations is needed to put individuals and communities more in sync with nature. "Why put out a bird feeder to feed birds, but put synthetic pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers on turf and kill worms so they have no natural food?" Good sustainable growing practices that create healthy, fertile soils will ensure the longevity of these lands for future generations to enjoy and use without fear of chemical hazards. Our philosophy emphasizes natural solutions. Did you know that 60-90% of earthworms are killed by regular applications of traditional pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. Earthworms are invaluable for healthy soil production.

It does not contribute to air, ground and water pollution
By eliminating the use of conventional chemical pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers. You will ensure that the air, soil and groundwater in the vicinity will not be contaminated as a result of your actions. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that 40-60% of nitrogen applied to lawns ends up in surface or groundwater sources.

It is beneficial to your health
According to the EPA, 111,000 Americans are sickened each year due to pesticides, herbicides and fertilizer exposure; over 230,000 people are treated in the ER each year from accidents related to lawn care products such as pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers. Worldwide three million people are sickened each year.

You will have healthy, happy, satisfied neighbors
Our customers care about others' wellbeing. They don't have to worry about their neighbors complaining about harmful spray drift and the chemical smells. All our materials are 100% sustainable certified organic materials.

It encourages governments to respond with more appropriate legislation
Our government reacts to trends and to the demands of business and consumers. The National Wildlife Federation and the National Audubon Society are among several groups now campaigning to convince Americans to reduce and eliminate the use of harmful synthetic pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers. As more consumers and organizations switch and take up the organic cause, local governments will be forced to re-consider regulations and work towards distinguishing organic products from the harmful chemical pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers we are rejecting. Collectively our voice has to be heard so that we can get the products that we need to do our work while eliminating those that are harmful to our shared environment.

Growing government and consumer demand
With many municipalities considering phase-outs on conventional synthetic pesticide, herbicide, and fertilizer use, it can be expected that municipalities and consumers alike will be turning to the organic industry for help.

It helps develop a growing organic industry
According to the Organic Trade Association, an organization that spans North America, 43% of the population is using at least some type of organic product. Users of these products tend to be more concerned about health and the environment than the general population. Organic users and the general population are moving into closer alignment as organic products move into mainstream consciousness.
