So, whether you are considering our services, are a long-time homeowner, or are about to purchase your first house, lets look at why sustainability matters with a handful of reasons to adopt eco-friendly lawn care best practices.

Eco-friendly lawn care: why it matters

Sustainability is no longer just a buzzword—it’s becoming an essential part of how we approach all aspects of our daily lives, including lawn care. We believe that eco-friendly lawn care is a collective effort that goes beyond individual actions. It’s about adopting practices that benefit not only our immediate surroundings but also contribute to a healthier planet for future generations.

By making eco-friendly choices, such as using electric-powered equipment and reducing chemical use, we are part of a growing movement that prioritizes the environment. This shift helps ensure a brighter, more sustainable future for our children and grandchildren, and it’s an approach that everyone can feel proud to support.

With the idea of the future in mind, one of the big reasons to incorporate eco-friendly lawn care practices into your routine is that it encourages nature to take care of itself naturally. For example, some types of green lawn maintenance can lead to healthier soil because youre forgoing harmful chemicals that destroy nutrients.

This is a long-term approach that also leads to a more resilient lawn. As we said, you want to encourage nature to do its job. A healthier lawn can withstand pests, weeds, and drought more effectively than otherwise. As an extension of these two points, your lawn isnt just the grass on the ground. It includes your homes greater ecosystem, including the birds in the trees, the plants throughout your flower beds, and more.

Its safer for your family

Today, were all more collectively aware of the impact we can have on other people. Common practices of the past, such as smoking indoors, are relatively unheard of today because were more informed about how our actions affect others.

This extends to eco-friendly lawn care as well, and one of the most direct impacts it has is on the four-legged members of your family. We mentioned forgoing chemicals in our last point. Dogs and cats are physically closer to the soil when they go outside, play, or spend time in the great outdoors. A healthy lawn helps to promote their health.

In addition, chronic health conditions are both more recognized and more prevalent now for several reasons. One, we have better science that can more accurately diagnose issues. Two, people are living longer, though with that comes a greater percentage of the population with lung or other types of health problems. By adopting eco-friendly lawn care best practices or services, youre helping minimize the effect simple tasks such as cutting the grass have on their well-being.

Were the stewards of the planet

Think about your job (or, if youre retired, the job you had before now). What are or were some of your responsibilities? Do you or did you manage a team? Was it your duty to ensure a certain number of products made it out the door each day?

We dont want to hammer that point home too much because we all know that each of us is responsible to someone else. This continues with the idea of eco-friendly lawn care, and these values are some of the key principles we follow.

With green yard maintenance, youre protecting local waterways from various forms of runoff and pollution. Taking that last word a step further, when we mentioned chronic conditions a moment ago, the underlying concept was that with healthier air around us, those with health problems can — quite literally — breathe easier.

There are various forms of pollution too, including the fumes that internal combustion engines emit. Have you ever come inside after mowing the grass and, even on a cool day, needed a shower because you stunk? Thats the burn-off from gas-power equipment.

Taking that a step further, however, is noise pollution. Many in our community work non-traditional hours, whether at a healthcare facility, a factory, or something else. They have to sleep during the day, but the noise from I.C.E.-powered equipment can keep them up and disrupt their rest.

Finally, many of us have what we call personal values. Those can be wide-ranging, including faith-based, general morality, and stewardship. We think it goes without saying that securing our childrens future is something everyone cares about, and eco-friendly lawn care often aligns with these personal values. With our team on your side and taking care of your yard, you can embrace those values with ease.
