Standard vs. Organic Lawn Care: Lawn Doctor of Madison Explains the Difference

green yard treated by organic lawn care in MadisonInterested in a professional lawn care service in the Madison, WI area, but aren’t sure whether to go standard or organic? At Lawn Doctor of Madison, we have the information you need to make the right decision. While all our services – both organic lawn care and more traditional ones – are nature-safe and designed with the environment in mind, they do differ in a few areas.

Take, for instance, our fertilization services. With our standard fertilization program, we use materials that are man-made and full of vital nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. In fact, these fertilizers have about 10 times the nutrient value when compared to our organic variations.

Our natural fertilization products at Lawn Doctor of Madison, on the other hand, are made from ingredients that are 100% all-natural. They can certainly go a long way in producing a healthier, stronger lawn, including a more robust soil ecosystem. But they can take longer to work and also require higher volume applications.

In addition, for pest control services, we use a technique called Integrated Pest Control Management in our organic program. This approach to pest control is rooted in prevention rather than treatment, such as planting grass types that aren’t appealing to common lawn pests. However, if pests do start popping up, we offer a variety of control solutions, including both biological and cultural.

While our standard and organic lawn care services at Lawn Doctor of Madison certainly differ, they’re the same in many ways, too, including:

  • Services that are tailored to your unique lawn.
  • Trained lawn care technicians who know how local growing and climate conditions – such as rainfall rates and temperatures – are impacting it.
  • Sophisticated Turf Tamer® lawn application equipment that delivers the optimal amount of materials, like fertilizer and grass seed, to ensure even growth.
  • A wide range of lawn care services that are completely eco-friendly, including pH balancing, core aeration, and power seeding, as well as annual, year-round care and protection.
