ORGANIC VS. SYNTHETIC LAWN FERTILIZERS

There ARE significant differences between organic and chemical fertilizers in terms of nutrient availability and the long-term effects on soil, plants, and the environment. So how does a conscientious gardener decide? Read more and let Hillside Landscaping help you make that decision...



3 Things To Know About Organic Lawn Care

1. NO GROWTH SURGES AFTER A FERTILIZER APPLICATION

Organic fertilizer results in a more balanced, even growth. This means fewer mowings per season. That equates to real monetary savings if you have a lawn service or less of your time mowing your lawn.

2. OUR PROGRAM CONTAINS A LABOR COMPONENT

The spring fix & fall aeration and over seeding are a necessary component of our program. Our goal is to improve your lawn. This improvement can’t come in a bag. Traditional lawn care companies generally offer these services as an add-on service.

3. YOU WILL USE LESS WATER

If you have an irrigation system our program will reduce your water usage by 25%, and up to 50% by year 3.  Our program improves soil structure and promotes deep root growth. This results in better moisture retention and drought tolerance. The Bottomline: Lower water usage = a smaller water bill.
