Natural Lawn Care


Elements of Natural Lawn Care
Natural Lawn Care creates healthy lawns that are easy on the environment. Elements of natural lawn care include:

  • • Mulch-mowing (leaving your grass clippings)- no more bagging!
  • • Watering wisely- lower your summer water bills!
  • • Natural alternatives to fertilizers and pesticides- no worry about your yard’s safety!

Benefits of Natural Lawn Care
Going natural may mean you need to accept a few weeds, a lighter green color, and mowing a little higher than you’re used to. But these practices can help you have a healthy, good looking lawn that’s also a good neighbor to our Northwest environment.

Learn how to make healthier lawns for our families that protect beneficial soil organisms and our environment.
