Did you know that some dollar estimates for attaining a healthy lawn in the United States can top $40 billion dollars a year? And did you know most of that money is put into superficially helping grass look great, but in many cases can damage the environment; including both the soil and local water sources?
What’s the Answer? Going Organic, Of Course!
Having a company implement an organic program means planting grass and plants that what will do well in the northeast climate, watering deeply but infrequently, and avoiding the use of dangerous and expensive chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
