So do you need to invest in natural lawn care services, or should you opt for standard care? As the Berlin, MD area&#8217;s experts in both standard and organic lawn care, Lawn Doctor of The Lower Eastern Shore\u00a0has\u00a0the answers you need. Here&#8217;s a look at some of the key differences:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fertilization. <\/strong>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\u00a0uses 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,\u00a0higher volume applications are necessary\u00a0to properly feed your Berlin lawn. That&#8217;s because natural fertilizers have a much lower nutrient value when compared to traditional kinds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pest control. <\/strong>With our organic lawn care services in Berlin, we rely on an approach known as Integrated Pest Control Management. This is a\u00a0sustainable method for managing pests that\u00a0includes a mix\u00a0of preventative cultural practices, as well as\u00a0controls pests that are physical, mechanical, and\u00a0biological in nature.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weed control. <\/strong>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\u00a0amount of watering.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are several differences between the\u00a0organic 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&#8217;ll have access to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Custom standard\u00a0and organic\u00a0lawn care services tailor-made for local lawns in the Berlin area.<\/li>\n<li>Technicians with localized knowledge and extensive experience in lawn care needs and challenges.<\/li>\n<li>Proprietary Turf Tamer<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> lawn application equipment not available through any other organic or standard lawn care company in the Berlin area.<\/li>\n<li>A variety of services that can help you get and keep your lawn healthy, from aeration and seeding to pH balancing and annual, year-around care.<\/li>\n<li>A service guarantee that&#8217;s the best in the business.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Choosing Between Standard &amp; Organic Lawn Care in the Berlin Area\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t know which program\u00a0is right for you, just give us a call.
