​We believe in the power of working with nature to achieve a beautiful and sustainable lawn. One of the simplest, yet most effective ways we do this is by returning grass clippings back to your lawn after mowing, instead of collecting and removing them. This natural lawn care method offers numerous benefits, not just for your lawn, but for the environment as well.

Natural Mulch: Keeping Your Lawn Hydrated
​Grass clippings left on the lawn act as a natural mulch, which significantly helps in retaining soil moisture. Especially during the hotter months, this mulch provides a shield to keep the ground moist and reduce water evaporation. The result? A well-hydrated, lush lawn that can stand up better to heat and drought conditions.

Recycling Nutrients: Promoting Healthier Growth
​As grass clippings decompose, they become a natural fertilizer for your lawn. These clippings release nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium—essential nutrients that contribute to the overall health and vibrant color of your grass. This process not only enriches the soil but also encourages denser, greener growth, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers.

Eco-Friendly: Reducing Waste and Supporting Sustainability
​Choosing to return grass clippings to your lawn aligns with eco-friendly practices by minimizing yard waste.  By embracing this method, you are actively participating in a more sustainable lawn care routine that benefits the planet.

Optional Services: Tailored to Your Needs
​While leaving grass clippings on your lawn offers many advantages, we understand that different clients have unique needs. For those who prefer a cleaner look or have specific landscaping requirements, we offer additional services such as bagging grass clippings and hauling yard waste. These services can be arranged for an additional fee, ensuring that we meet all your lawn care expectations.

​We are dedicated to providing you with environmentally responsible and effective lawn care solutions. By choosing our natural lawn care approach, you’re not just taking care of your lawn—you’re also making a choice that benefits the environment.

A well-maintained lawn is more than just grass; it's a reflection of your home, a place where memories are made, and a source of pride. Yet, in the hustle and bustle of modern life, finding the time and energy to keep your lawn looking its best can feel overwhelming. That’s where we come in. We understand the demands of your busy life, and our mission is to take the weight of lawn care off your shoulders, allowing you to simply enjoy the beauty of your outdoor space without the stress.​

📅 Consistent Scheduling - Because Your Time Matters
​Life is unpredictable, but your lawn care shouldn't be. Once you entrust us with your lawn, we make it our priority to adhere to the schedule set. Our commitment to consistency means you can relax, knowing your lawn is in good hands. We believe that peace of mind is just as important as the care itself. That’s why we send an email and text notification 24 hours before each visit, ensuring you’re never caught off guard.

Are you imagining a stunning garden that requires minimal effort to maintain? Whether you're giving your yard a complete makeover or starting from scratch, our most recent project highlights a landscape transformation that artfully blends aesthetics with functionality, utilizing high-quality materials like gravel, concrete, and limestone.

Versatile Gravel Enhancements
Gravel isn’t just for pathways; it’s a functional yet stylish choice that boosts your garden's drainage, significantly reducing waterlogging and the risk of plant diseases. It also helps control erosion, protecting your soil during heavy rains. With its variety of textures and colors, gravel adds an elegant touch that complements any garden style, enhancing both beauty and coherence.

Durable and Elegant Concrete Slabs
At the heart of modern landscaping, our project features durable concrete slabs with an integral color pour, enhancing their longevity and aesthetic appeal. The concrete was reinforced with a 4-inch thickness and sealed to protect against weathering, ensuring it remains a centerpiece of your garden for years. These slabs are not only practical but also contribute to the garden’s sophisticated look, paired with chic limestone edging for a timeless finish.

Optimized Limestone and Drainage
The limestone used in this project rests on a 2-3 inch gravel base, optimizing drainage and preventing water accumulation. We meticulously re-leveled the ground to slope away from the house, ensuring effective water management, especially in areas prone to heavy rainfall. This strategic slope keeps your yard dry and functional throughout the year, eliminating common issues like puddles and mud.

Thoughtful Design Elements
Every detail in our design was carefully considered:

• We removed existing vegetation to prepare the site.
• Weed fabric was installed to inhibit growth and minimize maintenance.
• The limestone edging was expertly leveled to a center bubble, ensuring precision.
• We planned the spacing between the edging and fence to improve access for future repairs, facilitating easier maintenance and adjustments.
• The concrete slabs measure 4 ft x 4 ft, made from a type 1, 1-4-2 concrete mix with a 5% pigment mix, highlighting our commitment to both quality and style.

A Garden That Stands the Test of Time
By choosing materials like concrete slabs and gravel and integrating thoughtful design tweaks, the need for regular maintenance such as watering, pruning, or replacement is significantly reduced. This approach allows you more time to enjoy your outdoor space without the burden of constant gardening chores.

A thoughtful landscape design doesn’t just enhance the beauty of your property; it enhances its usability. With strategic materials and a layout designed for ease and elegance, you can enjoy a breathtaking, easy-to-maintain garden. 

Are you dreaming of beautiful, durable, and low-maintenance outdoor spaces? Decomposed granite stabilizer is the perfect solution to upgrade your landscape effortlessly. Let’s explore the incredible benefits of using a stabilizer for decomposed granite and why it’s an excellent choice for your outdoor projects.

What is Decomposed Granite Stabilizer?
A decomposed granite stabilizer is a natural, non-toxic material used to bind loose granite particles together. This application transforms regular decomposed granite into a more stable and durable surface, ideal for various landscaping needs.

The Incredible Benefits:
​
1. Enhanced Durability
Adding a stabilizer to decomposed granite significantly increases its strength and stability. Whether it’s heavy foot traffic, bicycles, or vehicles, a stabilized surface can handle it all without compromising its integrity. This makes it an excellent choice for pathways, driveways, and patio areas.

2. Reduced Erosion
One of the major advantages of using a stabilizer is its ability to bind granite particles tightly, reducing erosion and dust. This ensures your paths and driveways remain pristine and attractive, even in adverse weather conditions. It also helps maintain the structural integrity of your landscape over time.

3. Low Maintenance
A stabilized decomposed granite surface requires minimal upkeep. Spend less time worrying about repairs and more time enjoying your beautiful outdoor spaces. Simple occasional raking and replenishing of granite are usually sufficient to maintain its appearance. This low-maintenance aspect is particularly beneficial for busy homeowners or large public spaces.

4. Improved Water Permeability
Stabilized surfaces allow water to permeate through, reducing runoff and promoting better drainage. This eco-friendly feature helps recharge groundwater and prevents waterlogging, making it an excellent choice for sustainable landscaping. Improved drainage also means fewer puddles and less mud, creating a safer and more pleasant environment.

5. Eco-Friendly
Many stabilizers are made from natural, non-toxic materials, making them safe for the environment. Choosing a stabilizer aligns with eco-conscious efforts to create sustainable and green outdoor spaces. Additionally, the natural components of the stabilizer ensure that your landscape remains free from harmful chemicals.

6. Cost-Effective
Using a stabilizer for decomposed granite proves to be cost-effective in the long run. The reduced need for frequent repairs and maintenance saves money over time. Additionally, the longevity and durability of stabilized granite mean that your outdoor spaces will remain beautiful and functional for years to come.

7. Aesthetic Appeal
A stabilized decomposed granite surface retains its natural, rustic charm while providing a cleaner and more polished look. It enhances the beauty of your landscape, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication. The wide range of colors and textures available allows you to customize your outdoor space to fit your aesthetic preferences.

Incorporating a decomposed granite stabilizer into your outdoor projects offers numerous benefits, from enhanced durability and reduced erosion to improved water permeability and aesthetic appeal. It's an excellent choice for creating beautiful, sustainable, and low-maintenance outdoor spaces. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your garden paths, create a stunning driveway, or build a cozy patio area, a decomposed granite stabilizer can help you achieve your landscaping goals effortlessly.

The Transformative Touch of Mulch

Imagine stepping into your winter garden during the holidays, greeted by a wonderland of lush plants flourishing against a backdrop of sparkling frost and rich, textured mulch. This isn't just a fantasy – it's the transformative power of mulching in winter.

Mulch is more than a decorative layer; it's a vital component that turns your ordinary garden into an extraordinary holiday spectacle. It's not just about enhancing the festive ambiance; it's an investment in your garden's future. The simple addition of mulch can make a significant difference, enabling your garden to not just survive the cold but to thrive in it. Experience the transformation as your garden becomes a vibrant showcase of nature's resilience, with minimal effort. In this season of giving, mulch is a modest yet powerful gift to your plants.

Benefits of Winter Mulching

Moisture Retention 
Mulch Retention is a crucial aspect of winter mulching, offering significant benefits for garden health. During the colder months, the combination of low temperatures and wind can lead to rapid soil moisture loss.

Here's how mulch serves as an effective solution to this challenge:

• Critical in Cold Climates: In winter, the combination of cold air and wind can rapidly dry out soil. Mulch acts as a protective layer, reducing evaporation and helping to maintain essential soil moisture.
• Root Protection: Roots are especially vulnerable in winter. Mulch helps to keep the soil moist, ensuring that roots can absorb the necessary water and nutrients to sustain the plant.
• Water Conservation: By retaining moisture, mulch decreases the need for supplemental watering, a significant benefit in regions with water use restrictions or where conservation is key.

Weed Suppression 
Controlling weed growth is a constant battle in gardening, and winter mulching offers a strategic advantage. Mulch acts as a natural deterrent against weeds, utilizing several mechanisms to suppress their growth.

Here are the key ways mulch helps in weed suppression:

• Reduced Light and Heat: Mulch blocks sunlight, which is essential for weed seed germination. It also keeps the soil cooler, creating a less hospitable environment for weed growth.
• Physical Barrier: The layer of mulch acts as a physical barrier, making it harder for weeds to penetrate through to the soil surface.
• Long-term Control: Consistent mulching can lead to a significant reduction in weed seeds in the soil, providing long-term weed control and reducing maintenance efforts.

Temperature Moderation
Winter mulching plays a vital role in regulating soil temperature, a critical factor in plant health during the colder months. By acting as a natural insulator, mulch provides several benefits related to temperature control.

Let's explore how mulch helps in moderating soil temperature:

• Insulation Effect: Mulch works as an insulator, keeping the soil warmer in winter. This is crucial for protecting plant roots from freezing temperatures, which can be lethal.
• Prevents Frost-Heaving: In freezing climates, soil can expand and contract, leading to frost-heaving which can displace plants. Mulch helps to moderate these temperature fluctuations.
• Early Spring Growth: With more stable soil temperatures, some plants may benefit from an earlier start in the spring, as the ground warms up more consistently.

Nutrient Improvement
One of the long-term benefits of winter mulching is the improvement of soil nutrients and structure. Especially when using organic mulches, this gardening practice contributes significantly to soil health.

Here's an in-depth look at how mulch enhances soil fertility and structure:

• Decomposition and Fertility: Organic mulches gradually decompose, adding organic matter and nutrients to the soil, enhancing its fertility.
• Soil Microbiology: The decomposition process encourages beneficial microbial activity, which is essential for healthy soil ecology.
• Soil Structure Enhancement: Improved soil structure from mulch decomposition means better aeration and water infiltration, which is beneficial for root growth and overall plant health.

Each of these benefits plays an integral role in maintaining the health and vitality of your garden during the winter months. Winter mulching is a comprehensive approach to garden care, offering vital protection and nourishment to your plants. This method helps your garden not only survive the colder season but also thrive, ensuring it emerges stronger come spring.

Applying mulch to your garden beds in winter is a holistic solution for preserving garden health, even amid winter's chill. It's a simple yet highly effective strategy to keep your garden vibrant and beautiful throughout the holiday season and beyond. Discover the key to a radiant garden during the holidays – embrace the benefits of winter mulching.

​As winter approaches, taking the time to mulch your trees can be the difference between a thriving garden come spring and one that starts the season at a disadvantage. By following these guidelines and choosing the right materials, you're not just protecting your trees; you're investing in their future health and growth. So, grab your mulch and get ready to give your trees the winter coat they deserve.

Keeping a yard well-maintained and beautiful all year round is no small feat. It involves a multitude of tasks, from edging and blow cleaning to tree and shrub trimming, organic debris hauling, leaf removal, uprooting dead plants, and transplanting. While each of these services is crucial to the health and aesthetics of your yard, juggling them all can be overwhelming and time-consuming. That's why we offer a flat-rate, all-inclusive package for a full yard cleanup. You can entrust your yard to us, knowing that every aspect will be meticulously taken care of without the stress of managing multiple services and costs. Plus, if you only need specific services, you can choose them a la carte to meet your unique needs.

Additionally, proper yard care promotes a healthier environment by reducing pests, controlling weeds, and maintaining soil nutrients. It supports local wildlife by providing habitat and food sources. A lush, green yard also helps improve air quality by filtering dust and pollution. The sights, sounds, and smells of a beautiful yard can even promote a sense of well-being and tranquility for you and your family.

Mowing & Edging: Mowing and edging are two of the most important aspects of lawn care maintenance. Together, they create clean lines and crisp edges that enhance your yard's visual appeal. Our professional mowing service involves cutting your grass at the ideal length and frequency for its specific type and growth rate. In addition to promoting lush, dense grass, proper mowing height prevents issues like disease, weed growth, and drought intolerance. 

Blow Cleaning: Maintaining a clean and tidy outdoor space involves more than just mowing and edging your lawn. Accumulation of leaves, twigs, and other debris on your lawn, driveways, and walkways can create an unkempt appearance and even pose safety hazards. Blow cleaning, using a leaf blower, is an efficient way to remove these debris and keep your outdoor areas clean and inviting.

Tree and Shrub Trimming: Trees and shrubs are vital components of any landscape, adding beauty, providing shade, and enhancing the overall appeal of your property. Regular trimming is essential for maintaining their health and appearance. It involves removing dead or damaged branches, shaping the tree or shrub, and encouraging new growth.

Organic Debris Hauling: A well-maintained outdoor space enhances the visual appeal of your property and provides a clean and tidy environment to relax and enjoy. However, accumulation of organic debris such as leaves, twigs, and branches, can make your yard look messy and uninviting. As part of our comprehensive lawn care services, we offer professional hauling away of all organic debris from your property. This includes leaves, small twigs, pruned branches, dead plants, and any other natural refuse generated from maintaining your yard. 

Leaf Removal: When trees shed their leaves, the accumulated foliage can quickly overwhelm your lawn and landscape. Let us handle professional leaf removal so you can enjoy a pristine outdoor space all season long. Our team uses commercial leaf blowers and vacuum equipment to efficiently collect every fallen leaf from your property. We remove leaves from your lawn to prevent suffocation of the grass. We also clear planting beds, gardens, patios, walkways, driveways and other areas. This prevents hazardous slip spots and keeps hardscapes free of rotting organic material.

Transplanting: Sometimes plants outgrow their space, struggle with poor placement, or need dividing to stay vigorous. Transplanting involves carefully relocating plants to give them a refreshed growing environment. Our experts can safely transplant trees, shrubs, perennials, and other specimens as needed. 

Uprooting Dead Plants: Harsh weather, disease, or general decline can sometimes cause trees, shrubs or perennials in your landscape to die off. Removing these dead plants quickly is crucial for the health of your overall yard. Our team identifies and uproots any vegetation that is clearly dead or dying. We safely extract the entire plant including the root system so that no debris is left behind. This prevents the spread of disease to nearby healthy plants. Removing dead plants also eliminates pest habitat and improves the aesthetics of your yard.

Imagine a world where our gardens flourish without harming the environment. That's the promise of organic fertilization and the revolutionary Actively Aerated Compost Tea (AACT) now infused with rain water!
 
The fertilization industry has evolved dramatically over the years. Gone are the days when we solely relied on chemical-heavy solutions to nurture our gardens. Now, the industry is seeing a shift towards organic and sustainable methods, ones that care for both plants and the planet.

Organic Fertilization and Actively Aerated Compost Tea (AACT): A Paradigm Shift

Delve into the transformative world of Organic Fertilization and Actively Aerated Compost Tea (AACT). More than just buzzwords, they signify a marked change in how we nourish our gardens. Organic Fertilization taps into nature's bounty, providing plants with a chemical-free, nutrient-rich diet, while ensuring environmental balance. Meanwhile, AACT introduces a powerful mixture of beneficial microorganisms, revitalizing the soil and boosting plant health.

Embracing these innovations challenges conventional gardening practices. It's no longer just about feeding plants; it's about aligning with nature, ensuring sustainability, and promoting environmental harmony. As we look to the future, adopting these methods isn't just commendable—it's essential for a greener world.

Actively Aerated Compost Tea (AACT): Pioneering Sustainable Plant Care
 
In the vast expanse of fertilization techniques, our approach doesn't just differ—it sets a new benchmark. While a large segment of the industry remains tethered to the chemical-intensive norms of yesteryears, we've chosen a path informed by global wisdom. Venturing beyond traditional borders, we've immersed ourselves in indigenous and time-tested organic methodologies, many of which remain underrepresented in mainstream American agricultural discourse.
 
Natural and Nourishing: We champion natural fertilizers, a decision driven by the myriad benefits they offer. Aside from ensuring plants flourish without the detrimental effects of chemical burns, these fertilizers inherently minimize the risks associated with over-fertilization. The reduced potential for nutrient runoff further underscores their environmental efficacy.
 
AACT - The Heart of Organic Revolution: At the epicenter of our innovative regimen is AACT, a veritable elixir for plants. Imagine a concoction brimming with beneficial bacteria, industrious nematodes, fungi, and other microorganisms. These aren't just microscopic entities; they're the unsung heroes of soil health. They tirelessly work to decompose organic materials, liberating essential nutrients in the process. This microbial activity renders many mechanical interventions, such as dethatching, obsolete, ensuring a less invasive approach to soil health.
 
Quality Assurance: We aren't just content with crafting AACT; we're committed to ensuring its superiority. Every batch we produce is subjected to an exhaustive scrutiny process, leveraging advanced microscopic technology. By magnifying its constituents up to 1200 times, we ascertain the microbial consistency and vitality of our concoction. This diligence ensures that what reaches the plants is nothing short of the best.
 
Immediate Impact: Due to its aqueous nature, AACT doesn't dawdle. Once introduced to plants, it's rapidly assimilated, benefiting everything from the verdant leaves to the intricate root networks. This swift action means plants don't have to wait to avail the nourishment they crave.
 
A Holistic Commitment to Safety: Beyond its botanical benefits, AACT shines as a beacon of safety. Whether you're a pet parent, a gardening enthusiast, or someone concerned about the planet's well-being, AACT has you covered. By eschewing chemicals, we've crafted a solution that's as friendly to your backyard's fauna as it is to the flora.
 
In our journey to redefine fertilization, AACT emerges not just as a product, but as a philosophy. A philosophy that prioritizes sustainability, efficacy, and harmony with nature.

The Unparalleled Benefits of Organic Fertilization
 
Organic fertilization stands out as a beacon of sustainable growth, offering a multitude of benefits that transcend the mere act of nourishing plants. This method offers a symbiotic relationship between soil, plants, and the environment:
 
Revitalized Soil Health: Organic fertilization is akin to giving the soil a vitality boost. By nurturing a thriving microbial community, the soil witnesses improved texture and structure. This microbial diversity is instrumental in breaking down organic matter into essential nutrients, improving the soil's aeration and permeability. The enriched soil not only facilitates healthier plant growth but also plays a pivotal role in moisture retention. In periods of erratic rainfall or drought conditions, this increased water-holding capacity becomes a lifeline for plants.
 
Balanced Nutrient Supply: The gradual decomposition of organic fertilizers is a boon for plants. Instead of being inundated with nutrients all at once (as is often the case with synthetic fertilizers), plants receive a steady and consistent flow of essential minerals and nutrients. This balanced delivery ensures that plants are nurtured over extended periods, promoting vibrant, robust, and sustained growth.
 
Safety First: The world of synthetic fertilizers is fraught with risks, from nutrient burns to soil degradation. Organic fertilizers, on the other hand, are formulated from natural materials, making them inherently safer. They provide nutrients in a form that plants can easily assimilate, reducing the risk of 'nutrient shock'. Moreover, by eliminating harmful chemicals, organic fertilizers negate the risk of introducing toxic substances into our environment.
 
Enhanced Nutrient Absorption: The harmony between organic fertilizers and soil processes is truly remarkable. The organic matter present in these fertilizers bonds with soil particles, preventing nutrients from being washed away. This process, known as nutrient chelation, ensures that nutrients remain available in the soil, enhancing their absorption by plant roots and reducing wastage.
 
Robust Plant Growth: The saying "you are what you eat" rings true for plants as well. By providing a rich diet teeming with a diverse range of nutrients and beneficial microbes, organic fertilizers lay the foundation for strong and resilient plants. A well-nurtured root system can better withstand challenges such as drought, pests, diseases, and other stressors.
 
Eco-Consciousness: The environmental footprint of our agricultural practices is undeniable. Synthetic fertilizers have long been associated with water pollution, soil degradation, and harm to aquatic life. In stark contrast, organic fertilizers stand as a testament to sustainable and eco-friendly agriculture. By eliminating harmful chemicals and agents, these fertilizers ensure the well-being of our delicate ecosystems, especially our water bodies that bear the brunt of nutrient runoff.
 
In essence, organic fertilization doesn't just feed—it rejuvenates, heals, and protects. It operates in sync with Earth's natural rhythms, fostering a harmonious relationship between soil, plants, and the environment. With trailblazing solutions like AACT lighting our path, the future of organic fertilization doesn't just look bright—it embodies the very essence of sustainability.

Are you ready to be part of this green revolution? Embrace organic fertilization and witness firsthand the gratitude of nature through its bountiful returns.

In this blog post, we answer the why, the when, and the what in repairing the lawn with the same variety of grass sod plug to repair thin areas. Grass sod plug repair is a fantastic way to repair small patches of your lawn using the same variety of grass that you already have. By using plugs of grass sod that match your lawn's specific grass variety, you can maintain a uniform appearance and ensure the health of your lawn. This method is more cost-effective than regular sods and can be done at specific times of the year for optimal results. In this article, we will explain the scientific basis behind grass sod plug repair, the ideal time to do it, and an approximate turnaround time for the new plugs to spread.

When repairing your lawn, it's essential to use the same grass variety to ensure a consistent appearance and maintain the health of the lawn. By using grass sod plugs instead of regular sods, you can significantly reduce the cost of lawn maintenance. Here are a few reasons why this method is more cost-effective:
​

1. Less Material Needed: Grass sod plugs are small sections of grass with intact roots that are removed from a healthy area of your lawn or from a seed lot. Since you are only replacing the damaged areas of your lawn, you require less material than if you were using regular sods, which can cover a larger area.
2. Faster Integration: Because grass sod plugs are the same variety as the rest of your lawn, they will integrate more quickly and efficiently, allowing for a faster recovery time. This means you'll spend less time and effort on lawn maintenance.
3. Reduced Waste: By using grass sod plugs, you are minimizing waste, as you only need to replace the damaged areas of your lawn. This also reduces the need for additional fertilizers or chemicals, further saving on costs.

No Subcontracting: A Cautionary Tale

There was a time in 2018 when we had completed our first 1,000 jobs with relatively minor mistakes. We thought that we had mastered the business at the time, and decided to expand our reach by subcontracting work to other contractors for a little markup. It was a brilliant idea, we thought, and every venture capital backed startup back then was also doing it. And so, we joined the bandwagon.

Like any business, we've had our share of challenges and learning experiences. One such experience stands out, and it has shaped our approach to providing high-quality landscaping services in Austin, Texas: A costly mistake involving subcontracting taught us the importance of retaining control over the quality of our work and putting our clients' interests first, above everything else.

5 years ago, we trusted a subcontractor with a fence job, only to have them disappear without completing the project or delivering the necessary materials. Our efforts to seek legal recourse proved futile, as the resources required to locate, adjudicate, and hold the contractor accountable would cost more than twice the job we were frantically trying to complete at the time. As our outside counsel once told us, "You are throwing good money after bad money. We would be lucky if that contractor is even solvent."

This unfortunate event left an indelible mark on our team, and we vowed never to subcontract crucial work to other contractors, regardless of their reputation or size. Instead, we now handle all the work ourselves, ensuring top-quality results and dependability for our discerning clientele in Austin, Texas. It may be inefficient. But vowed to learn from the experience. This is the only way we can be sure that each of the previous 8,000 jobs we have completed since get completed by us from start to finish.

In instances where we cannot perform specific tasks or lack the required licensing – such as in irrigation, electrical, or plumbing work – we are very transparent about our limitations. In such cases, however, any subcontracted work is minor and immaterial to the overall project, allowing us to maintain full control. Examples of very minor subcontracting include repairing broken irrigation lines, capping water valves, or fixing low-voltage landscape electrical or fiber optic lines.

Our Key Lessons Learned:

1. Retain control over the quality and execution of work to prioritize clients' interests and investments.
2. Be transparent about the scope of services and any limitations in expertise or licensing.
3. Limit subcontracting to minor and immaterial tasks to ensure project success and client satisfaction.

Our past experiences have taught us valuable lessons, enabling us to focus on our core competencies and maintain control over our projects. By doing so, we can confidently deliver exceptional landscaping results and keep all the knowledge learned in-house. And of course, to keep on refining and sharpening our saw.

The truth of our story may surprise you, as it involves overcoming challenges, embracing emotions, and reflecting on our journey to better serve our clients. Our business began with a simple 512 number displayed on our Craigslist ad. Yes, we were once one of those guys spamming "We mow your lawn for $20" on Craigslist. But see, as we ventured out into the field, mowing lawns with unwavering focus and dedication, we encountered a problem: the persistent hum of our equipment drowned out the sound of incoming calls.

We experienced frustration and disappointment, knowing that each missed call represented a potential client we couldn't connect with. Desperate to find a solution, we considered adding another phone number to our Craigslist ad. We believed that when one of us was mowing, the other could be trimming, and at least one of us would be available to answer the phone. So, we added a second number, unaware of the complications it would bring.

What we didn't realize was that integrating a parallel phone system would double our efforts and amplify our challenges. This decision led to confusion becoming a regular occurrence as we grappled with managing two phones, two sets of call logs, and twice as many text messages for requests, quotes, and feedback. Lacking a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, we found ourselves relying solely on an Excel spreadsheet to manually enter and track all our communications.

The pressure mounted, and we knew we needed a better solution. It only took one long, exhausting day and one weary landscaper for the cracks to begin to show. And that's when the idea of the 844 number emerged. Our 844 number would create a call blast to all our local phone numbers, connecting 2 phones (at the time 2, we have more than a dozen lines now and counting...) in a seamless, synchronized system. It was a really easy solution that offered a glimmer of hope to a sophisticated problem.

As we implemented the 844 number, we began to see the positive impact it had on our business. No longer were we fumbling through multiple devices and fragmented communication; instead, we now had a single point of contact to find call log and centralized text messages to manage. It was a breath of fresh air that simplified our lives and allowed us to focus on what truly mattered - our clients.
​
While an 844 number may now be synonymous with robocalls and scams, our decision to adopt it stemmed from a genuine desire to solve a real-world problem and improve our services. As we read our online reviews, we experience a mix of emotions - from pride in our achievements to the sting of criticism. It can be both flattering and very hard to read. But we continue to reflect, learn, and grow, striving each day to provide the best possible service to you, our valued clients. Our journey has been filled with emotions, reflection, and challenges, but at its heart, it remains a story of dedication, resilience, and innovation. We are the change we wish to see in the world.

We've been approached, researched, and investigated by multiple corporate giants and their industry investigators, all of whom have wondered, "How on earth do you control weeds without using our herbicides?" In this blog post, we aim to demystify the world of organic gardening. The ideas presented here are not original to us; instead, they are age-old practices handed down through generations of organic farmers. Unfortunately, much of this knowledge has been forgotten. We're here to immortalize these practices on the internet, helping to lessen our dependence on outdated chemical technologies.

A little background about us: We're not a massive conglomerate but rather ordinary people who, like you, seek a normal, cancer-free life. From the beginning, we decided against using chemicals. We would rather not risk our health for profit. As a result, our journey has been filled with numerous obstacles and insurmountable challenges. We encountered a plethora of misinformation online, leaving us to wonder: either no one truly understands how to do organic weed control management correctly, or somebody is intentionally misinforming the public. Regardless, our goal was to find a 100% organic solution that works. Fortunately, we have discovered the answers that we are now presenting to you on a silver platter.

There are several cultural and biological weed management strategies that homeowners like you (and even other companies) can use to control weeds in your lawns and gardens. These methods are more sustainable, environmentally friendly, and often more effective than using chemical herbicides. In fact, we are making this available to the public because as time goes by we really would rather have a societal paradigm shift. We would love to see the practices we found be use by other companies and lessen our overall exposure to chemicals.

When mulching around plant beds, avoid using weed fabric underneath the mulch layer. The reason for this is that organic mulch will naturally decompose over time, contributing to the nutrient cycling process and enriching the soil. Weed fabric can inhibit this decomposition process and may even create a barrier that prevents water and nutrients from reaching plant roots. Instead, opt for a thick layer of organic mulch, which will gradually break down and improve soil structure and fertility.

As the mulch decomposes in plant beds, you may notice some weed germination or a decrease in the thickness of the mulch bed. This is an excellent time to hand weed specific areas and add more mulch to maintain its weed-suppressing abilities and continue promoting a healthy garden environment. Regularly monitoring and replenishing your mulch layers will ensure that your garden remains weed-free and vibrant. In lawns, areas that were top dressed would eventually be filled by perennial grasses. Note that this takes time. Root exudates propagate at 65F and warmer. If it is too cold, the lawn simply remains dormant until the right temperature comes.

In addition to weed suppression, mulching provides other benefits such as moderating soil temperature, reducing soil erosion, and providing a habitat for beneficial insects and microorganisms. By incorporating mulching into your gardening routine, you can create a more sustainable, low-maintenance, and productive garden that thrives without the need for synthetic chemicals.

By carefully selecting companion plants that release allelopathic compounds or create physical barriers, you can naturally reduce weed growth and minimize the need for chemical weed control methods. Allelopathic plants: Certain plants release allelopathic chemicals that can inhibit the germination and growth of weeds. By planting these species alongside your desired plants, you create a natural form of weed suppression.

Examples of allelopathic plants include:
​

• Marigolds: These colorful flowers release compounds that can suppress weeds and deter pests, making them excellent companion plants for vegetables.
• Sunflowers: Their tall growth and dense canopy can shade out weeds, while their allelopathic properties help prevent weed germination.
• Rye: This cover crop releases allelopathic chemicals that suppress weed growth and can improve soil structure when incorporated into the soil.
• Physical barriers: Some plants act as physical barriers, limiting the available space, sunlight, and nutrients for weeds to grow. These plants can outcompete weeds and make it difficult for them to establish.

Examples include:

• Groundcovers: Low-growing plants like creeping thyme, ajuga, or sweet alyssum form dense mats that leave little room for weeds to grow. They also reduce soil erosion and help retain soil moisture.
• Tall plants: Species with a large canopy, such as sunflowers or Texas sage, can shade out weeds and limit their access to sunlight, inhibiting their growth.
• Plants with dense foliage: Crops like bush beans or potatoes have dense foliage that can compete effectively with weeds for nutrients and water, reducing weed growth.

Incorporating a variety of plant species in your garden can make it more difficult for weeds to establish and thrive. Diverse plantings create a complex environment that offers different root structures, growth patterns, and resource competition, making it challenging for weeds to find a niche in which they can flourish.

By using companion planting as part of your overall organic weed management strategy, you can create a more balanced and resilient ecosystem that naturally suppresses weed growth, reduces the need for chemical herbicides, and promotes healthier, more productive gardens.

Lastly, the use of all the strategies above helps in creating a natural biological control. This is intelligent use of beneficial insects, such as ladybugs or lacewings, to control pests that can damage or weaken plants, can also indirectly help control weed growth. By combining these cultural and biological weed management strategies, homeowners can develop an integrated weed management approach that is effective, sustainable, and environmentally friendly.

It's important to note that these methods require more time, expertise, and effort than using chemical herbicides, but the long-term benefits for soil health, plant productivity, and environmental health make them well worth the time investment. And this is where we come in. We do not sell a bag of fertilizer nor a bag of herbicide. That is the problem with doing things organically. It is not scalable and does not yield incredible returns. Fortunately, we just happen to love what we do. What we offer to our community is a lifelong commitment to organic lawn care and gardening in a highly urbanized environment. We are your personal organic farmer, but instead of propagating potatoes, we are growing grasses, and instead of growing giant sweet corns, we are propagating native flowers. Feel free to ask us any questions in the comments section below. We are here to help.
