Organic Lawn care is the process of using natural products in combination with lawn care techniques, which help in establishing and maintain a green, healthy, and beautiful lawn. Lawns that are grown naturally are resistant to diseases, pests, and weeds.

Why Use Natural Lawn Care?

When it comes to caring about the plants on the lawn, most of the people use chemicals for controlling the pests and boost the growth of the plants. But by using chemicals, you are spreading diseases among your family members and pets in the house. Organic products are safe for your lawn and your family. You have the scope of saving money and time also.

Benefits of Organic Lawn Care

For Your Pets: Your pets are mostly attached to the yard. They play and relieve themselves in the lawn and also make a territory for themselves in the garden itself. Many homeowners don’t know that chemical fertilizers, herbicides, and fungicides get absorbed through pets skin. While pet-friendly lawn care uses natural fertilizers, you can save your pets and animals from the hazard of spreading dreadful diseases through synthetic lawn products.

For Your Children: Children are a little exposed to pesticides and other chemicals which are toxic on some level because they spend less time on your lawn compared to pets. But some substances get accumulated in your children’s sensitive bodies (especially infants) for longer times and can have severe health issues not immediately but in their future. As natural lawn care strictly avoids the above chemicals, your children got protected.

For the Environment: Environmental changes also occur through the use of chemicals in your lawn. Use of organic methods means going back to the time when no chemical products were available for weed control and the growth of the grass and plants.

For Your Lawn: Infusion of more chemical has made the plants more vulnerable to diseases and pests. Find the advantages of lawn care in natural way below:

• Improves the Growth of the Roots: The natural products release small quantities of micronutrients needed for the plants. These nutrients are crucial for the growth of the stems and give additional strength.
• Soil Improvement: Eco-friendly lawn care improves the soil condition, help to retain the moisture for more time, and also improve the texture of the soil. The soil becomes more porous and loose.
• Easily Degradable: Unlike the chemicals, the organic compost is easily mixed in the soil and leave no harmful chemicals after decomposing.
• Maintain the Ecology of Soil: The soil has many micro-organisms that are necessary for the soil improvement. Use of chemicals kills these organisms and soil loses its texture and fertility. Use of organic lawn care techniques do not harm these organisms and thereby helping the land to be more fertile.
• Less Pollution: No chemicals are used in environmentally friendly lawn care methods thereby decreasing the pollution of your surroundings and water resources.
• Better Quality of the Grass and Plants: Organic treatment improves the quality of the grass and makes it more green and healthier. By becoming more healthier the grass and plants grow resistant to diseases and pests.
• Elimination of Grass Decolorization: Due to the use of chemicals, you can observe the side effects as burning like spots on the grass. To eliminate the side effects, you should use chemical-free lawn care treatment for your lawn.
• Helps in the Process of Photosynthesis: Natural lawn care techniques have the property of releasing CO2, thereby assisting plants in the photosynthesis process.
• Stay Longer in the Soil: Unlike the chemicals, which wash away in rains or floods, the organic manure stays longer in the soil and are not easily washed away.
• Maintain the Soil Ecology: Chemicals kill the harmful and useful organisms also. Organic Lawncare is designed to kill only the harmful pests while protecting the beneficial microorganisms.
• Reduces the Stress of Grass in Drought: When using organic methods, the water usage for the lawn is decreased. Leaving the grass clippings in the yard after the mowing helps in reducing the drought conditions in the garden because the grass clippings slow down the evaporation of the water.
