The Need for Sustainable Lawn Care Practices
Fertilizer Ineffectiveness
More fertilizer and pesticides are applied per sq. ft. on home lawns than are applied per sq ft on agriculture fields. Sadly, much of the actual synthetic fertilizer that is applied isn’t used by your grass, some of it goes into the air and our waterways.
Pesticide Overuse
In the lawn care industry, it is often common to apply unnecessary amounts of pesticides. If you had a cut on your finger, you wouldn’t put band-aids all over your entire body, you’d put one over the cut on your finger. Well, most lawn care companies are spraying the entire lawn with weed killer when there are only a few weeds that need to be sprayed.
Pesticide Dangers
Blanket spraying is unnecessary and, in our opinion, unethical. Unfortunately, by using so many harsh pesticides, many companies are causing risks to the health of their clients and their pets, their employees, and local wildlife like pollinators and birds.
There are very few companies in Fort Wayne offering any viable, sustainable alternatives – until now…
It is our belief that you can have a nice, green lawn and also make health a top priority. Your health, the health of our employees, the health of the environment, and the health of your lawn are important to us!

Organic Treatments
Our organic soil conditioner and sulfur treatments are integral to maintaining your yard in a sustainable, eco-friendly way.
Organic Soil Conditioner
During this visit, we will apply composted organic matter that promotes healthy topsoil formation. As we build the soil, we help promote healthy growing conditions for your grass to thrive. This happens over time through our Sustainable Lawn Care programs that include organic soil conditioner visits.
Organic Sulfur
We apply organic sulfur to the yard to aid in optimal soil pH. The soils in our area are naturally high in pH from our limestone bedrock and clay-based soils. With naturally high soil pH, the grass is inhibited from taking up available nutrients, which can cause yellowing. The application of sulfur helps unlock nutrients so your grass can “eat,” and your yard naturally becomes greener as a result.

Why You Deserve the
Perfect Weekend.
Your home should be a place of rest and refuge. We believe your landscaping is instrumental in creating a space for you that is beautiful, restful, and peaceful.
But if you’re putting synthetic fertilizers made from fossil fuels and harmful chemicals into the environment in an effort to create beautiful spaces, are they still beautiful?
You want to come home to a yard that you can be proud of, but it’s not always as simple as it should be. Not everyone has a green thumb and sometimes it can be difficult to know where to start and the right products to use.
We understand. We love turning the space around your home into a place of great natural beauty. We limit our use of herbicides and use natural treatments as much as possible to create a space that’s not only beautiful to look at, but also sustainable for the environment and better for your kids and pets.
More importantly, we love listening to you and building a relationship with you through the process of serving you. We will help you create a vision for your property and are always honored to create and maintain that space for you for years to come.
