What are the costs of NOT using an environmentally-friendly program?

So you want to save some money by finding the cheapest lawn care company? Here are some things that you may want to consider about traditional lawn care companies. Their practices:

  • Cause grass to develop weaker roots, reducing the lawn’s tolerance to heat and drought.

  • Force homeowners to stay off the lawn up to 48 hours after treatment.

  • Deplete the soil of beneficial microbes and organisms.

  • Create toxic runoff into the water supply.

  • Create a dependency on synthetics - over time, lawns cannot survive without them.

  • Make lawns more susceptible to fungus and insect damage.

In the long run, using a cheap lawn care service that uses low-quality products and excess chemicals can cost homeowners more time and money in the long run. It can also cost more in water usage and in add-on services to combat fungi and pests. Think about your local community, too. Bad products and practices hurt the environment.

Now consider the benefits of using a lawn care service that uses eco-friendly practices. These practices:

  • Are more resilient to drought.

  • Naturally fight off disease and fungus.

  • Prevent thatch buildup.

  • Promote long-term health of your lawn.

  • Are environmentally friendly.

As you can see, working with nature by strengthening the biology in the soil has many long-term benefits. It’s well worth the investment when it comes to saving you time, money, and headache. To top it off, it’s also better for the earth.
