Questions and Expectations

A green, healthy, great looking lawn is as easy as Child's Play. We have a full range of programs, from basic maintenance to aggressive growth. We also retail our organic fertilizers in a 4 step do it yourself organic program. 
You don't need to be an expert in turf management to understand organics, but it does help if you know the basics. This area contains information on topics like aeration, dethatching, spreader calibration, pest controls, mowing, watering, etc. 
Most homeowners want a great looking yard that is green, thick and healthy. They are often unaware there is an alternative to pesticide use. Organic lawn care is a process, not just a change to organic fertilizers. 
Newcomers to organic lawncare often have questions about issues like weed control, how the products work, how the lawn will look, etc. Here's a list of answers! | River Bend, A Green Design Community: Pesticide, Herbicide Free Living "Designing With Nature" |
