You want lawn care that’s effective for your lawn, but also doesn’t harm the environment. So do you need to invest in natural lawn care services, or should you opt for standard care? As the Berlin, MD area’s experts in both standard and organic lawn care, Lawn Doctor of The Lower Eastern Shore has the answers you need. Here’s a look at some of the key differences:
- Fertilization. All our fertilization services take the environment into account and are safe for it. However, with our organic services, we use 100% natural materials, while our standard program uses man-made ingredients. Both types are packed full of the nutrients your lawn needs, including nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. However, with an organic lawn care approach, higher volume applications are necessary to properly feed your Berlin lawn. That’s because natural fertilizers have a much lower nutrient value when compared to traditional kinds.
- Pest control. With our organic lawn care services in Berlin, we rely on an approach known as Integrated Pest Control Management. This is a sustainable method for managing pests that includes a mix of preventative cultural practices, as well as controls pests that are physical, mechanical, and biological in nature.
- Weed control. When you choose our standard weed control program, we can offer treatments for broadleaf, grassy, and pre-emergent weeds. However, our organic program only provides broadleaf and pre-emergent solutions. We recommend controlling grassy weeds through cultural practices, such as maintaining healthy soil and turf, adequate fertilization, proper mowing practices, and the right amount of watering.
There are several differences between the organic and standard lawn care programs at Lawn Doctor of The Eastern Shore. However, there are many areas of overlap, as well. In fact, with both, you’ll have access to:
