Our 3-Step Organic Lawn Care Methodology
It is not a secret, just science.
1. Topographical Analysis
Is the lawn receding in isolated areas? Do we have sunlight obstructions? How about pets? Fungal growth? Thatch layer? These are some of the questions we answer when finding the root cause of a specific problem. This evidence-based approach yields more fruitful answers than blindly applying products the big box store recommends.2. Chemical Analysis
Do we use zone sampling method or field sampling method? Each sampling method has its pros and cons, and choosing which one to use focuses our attention to a specific issue we are trying to address. Throughout the years, we have recorded the results of each soil test we have performed, and these records tell us the range for each types of St. Augustine, Buffalo, Bermuda, and other grasses specifically in south Austin.3. Soil Analysis
Is the ground made of clay, loam, sand, rocks, or just littered with leaves? Is the soil compacted? Composition of the soil will result with the application of a range of different products and services.

Organic Lawn Fertilization Program That Works!
Organic Lawn Fertilization (Organic Fertilizer FAQ) gives the extra bump to an already exceptional lawn mowing service. We can make your lawn beautiful, just as you dreamed it be. Our organic fertilization program uses natural and organic fertilizers to ensure deep and strong root growth that lasts. You will not see us spreading synthetic fertilizers all over the place. We want earthworms to propagate because the lawn needs their castings. Your lawn will be fertilized at the beginning of the year in once in every month of March, May, July, September, and November using time released organic fertilizers. Do not worry. We are aware over-fertilization is a problem. After the initial fertilization, we provide all our clients with FREE periodic soil fertility test before fertilizing. This ensures you only get charged for services your lawn truly needs. Our fertilization process gives your lawn a lot of macro and micro nutrients. On every fertilization service, we recommend that our professionally brewed actively aerated compost tea (AACT) treatment accompany it. AACT adds beneficial microbes, bacteria, and nematodes to encourage breakdown of organic matter like thatch and leaves, and a deeper root growth. Each AACT batch is checked with a microscope up to 1200x magnification before application. Should the lawn ever need more organic material midway into the year, we will let you know and make the necessary adjustments, using peat moss, coco fibers, sphagnum, lime, organic compost, dressings, compost tea, and more. The follow-ups will ensure deep and strong root growth to lessen the chances of weed infestation. We check the soil integrity, the overall topography, and use modern science to give your lawn the nourishment it needs. Our program works best when bundled with our weekly professional lawn mowing service.

Actively Aerated Compost TeaOur organic fertilization process is truly unique in the industry. When everybody else uses whatever the chemical companies recommend, our approach is based from research about organic products that we have scoured all over the world. Yes, we travel to other countries in search for the best organic practices not found anywhere else in the United States, or as a matter of fact, on the internet. Our method uses natural and organic fertilizers that are known to break down very slowly, totally avoiding lawn or plant burning and minimizing over-fertilization and nutrient runoffs to our local river and waterways. Our professionally brewed actively aerated compost tea (AACT) replaces bulky compost and is more efficient in spreading nutrients and beneficial microbes - mobile and non-mobile bacteria, archaeas, nematodes, protozoas, ciliates, flagellates, testates, fungal hypheas, rotifers, among others - to encourage further breakdown of organic matter, like leaves, mulch, and grass clippings. This virtually eliminates the need for mechanical dethatching as the soil infused AACT can naturally break down thick thatch layers. Each AACT batch is checked with a microscope up to 1200x magnification to confirm the types of nematodes present, the proper ratio for mobile against non-mobile bacteria, the number of flagellates per slide, and the general microbial structures before delivery. Because AACT is in liquid form, it is immediately absorbed by the grass blades and plant leaves, and eventually the roots. Best of all, our organic fertilizers and compost tea are safe for kids and pets.

AACT is absolutely pet friendly, human friendly, and environmentally friendly. Since we are a 100% chemical-free company, there is absolutely no chance for mix ups when servicing your lawn. There is zero chance of mixing chemical herbicides and AACT because we absolutely do not use herbicides. And because active microbial count is extremely difficult to maintain in dehydrated form, AACT can not be mass produced. As of 2021, actively aerated compost tea can only be effectively made in relatively small batches. Effective balance as well is very crucial for propagation for grass and other plants.

After Seeding Service

Seeding the lawn helps the grass get traction to grow, lessens bare spots where weeds could grow, and cultivates the existing soil in preparation for the perennial grass to regrow in Spring. As you can see with our unedited comparison photos above, this can make a world of a difference in the appearance of your lawn especially during the colder months, where most of our southern grasses in Austin go dormant. In permaculture, spreading fast growing annual grasses over slow growing perennial grasses is called "Nursing". We use a nursing plant, which in this case is grass, to help in lawn repair and grass germination. There are many types of grass seeds to choose from. So to ensure propagation of the new seeds, we prepare the lawn before seeding and pick the right type of seeds depending on the actual topography of your backyard. Lawns with lots of shade, for example, will not be ideal for Bermuda grass seeds. Bermuda grass seeds just have a lot of trouble growing under shade in the real world specifically here in South Austin. Of course, the Bermuda grass seed manufacturer would say otherwise. Our experience dictates using other annual grass seeds for part shade, full shade, and sunny lawns.
Lawn Core AerationStart the year in Spring right with our core aeration service. Core aeration helps your lawn by creating a system of non-capillary holes that makes the movement of water, air, and movable nutrients easier. This fast movement of specifically water and air is known to alleviate the effects of soil compaction. Core aeration involves the removal of soil plugs or cores out of the lawn. These cores are removed mechanically by an aerator to relieve soil compaction and break thatch. Think of it as a regular facial for your lawn. Aerating opens up the pores of your lawn to allow moisture to penetrate deeply, encouraging new growth, and a deeper and stronger root system, making the lawn more hardy during extreme weather conditions. The more we expand favorable areas for root growth, the more resilient the root system would be against pests, fungal growth, freeze, thaw, and drought. |

Power Raking DethatchingSometimes, core aeration is not enough to break through the thatch. In this case, Power Raking Dethatching is needed. While having a thick thatch is nonexistent on new lawns, it is prevalent on older ones, especially if you spray herbicides or pesticides. Herbicides and pesticides are known to have chemicals that kill microbes which affects the natural decomposition process of organic matter. Power Raking Dethatching physically removes the thick layer of thatch, of dead and decaying plant material between the grass and the soil. Thatch is removed by manually pulling the thatch off with a powered rake which then deposits the thatch on top of the lawn. The thatch is then either leaf blown, vacuumed up, manually raked, bagged, and disposed of. This is a labor intensive work, one that requires hours of hard work. We strongly recommend to have your lawn checked by us for free to see which service you truly need. |
Spring, Fall, and Winter Yard Cleaning ServiceLeaves, weeds, and other lawn debris can damage your lawn, leaving bald spots on multiple locations, sometimes even killing young trees. Our yard cleaning service involves plucking, raking, vacuuming, and blowing of leaves, weeds, and other debris from your lawn, and then neatly bagging them. What is great with this service is that you are in control. We will provide you a comprehensive cleaning offer for the debris currently on your lawn. This gives you the budget for the entire job. Our crews will be focused strictly on cleaning up.
