Eco-Friendly Lawn Care



Have you been looking for a way to cut back on the harmful chemicals in your lawn but are afraid that weeds may take over your lawn? Are you concerned about the harmful impact that mowing with gasoline and gasoline powered equipment has on the environment? Did you know that 800 million gallons of gasoline are used mowing lawns in the U.S. every year? Did you know that residential application of pesticides is typically at a rate of 20 times more than that of farmers per acre; it results in many unintended results.

Yard wastes (mostly grass clippings) comprise 20% of municipal solid waste collected and most still ends up in landfills.

Approximately 1 Billion Pounds of Pesticides are used in the U.S each year alone.
