What does your yard say about you?
We all want a safe environment for our family; starting with lawn care is an important step that also contributes to healthy waterways.
Fertilize With Care
Over-application of nutrients not only may impair plant growth, it can also contaminate groundwater by leaching through the soil and pollute waterways through run-off. A soil test will identify what nutrients you may need to help your lawn and other plants be healthy and grow their best.
Plant Natives
Pollinators and beneficial insects rely on native plants for food and shelter. Natives are also smart choices for low-maintenance landscaping. Since they are adapted to local conditions, pesticides, fertilizers and other amendments are rarely required once the plants are established.
Pick Up Pet Waste
This simple act helps reduce the potential of E. coli pollution from washing into our rivers and streams.
