Chemical lawns take away what we value most about lawns...safety. Historically, a grassy knoll provided safety and community. Today, chemical lawns are linked to cancer, birth defects, and developmental impairments in both people and pets. They are not safe anymore: They degrade our watersheds, pollute our air, sterilize our land, chase away the song birds, and endanger our health. We have turned a beautiful gift from nature into an expensive environmental hazard.
Yet there is an alternative.
The Organic Process works with nature instead of against it. Lawn and garden pesticides are deadly to non-target species and can harm beneficial insects and soil microorganisms that are crucial to a healthy lawn. Organics nourish and build ecosystems rather than degrading them. They create rich dark soil for healthy life. Organic lawns also filter the air of contaminants, sequester carbon, and provide a safe and comfortable place to gather, play, relax.
Once again we can we can enjoy the benefits of lawns naturally. Organic lawn care restores the inherent value of a lawn. So, are you ready to experience an organic lawn? To watch your children play in the yard without worry, to let your dog roll around in the grass, to ensure a healthy and safe field of green? Vibrant and lush, organic lawns sustain you, your family, and your community. Come back home, come back to a grassy expanse you can take pride in, because it is your place of peace and relaxation.
Its your world. Its your choice, its your family. Is your lawn KIDSAFE?
