Hello there!

Caring for our Earth One Yard at a Time

Chemicals used to build and maintain landscapes are constantly polluting the environment, causing sickness and cancer and harming wildlife, pets, and children. We strive to help people and communities understand the long term results of applying chemicals to their yards. 

FAQ's

image527

Do lawn care chemicals pose a health threat to my family?

Yes. Pesticides used in controlling weeds, insects, etc., are toxic. These chemicals have been created to kill pests and most are broad-spectrum biocides. This means they are poisonous to a wide variety of living organisms, including garden plants, wildlife, pets, your neighbors, your family and you. These chemicals travel on shoes, feet, pets, and children into your home.

Do Fertilizers and Weed Killers Cause Cancer?

Of 30 commonly used lawn chemicals, 19 are linked with cancer or carcinogenicity, 13 are linked with birth defects, 21 with reproductive effects, 26 with liver or kidney damage, 15 with neurotoxicity, and 11 with disruption of the endocrine (hormonal) system.

Can lawn care chemicals contaminate my drinking water?

Yes. Pesticides and fertilizers can and do leach into private and public wells and water supplies.

Is Organic Landscaping More Expensive?

If your lawn is currently chemically dependent, initially it may be more expensive to restore it. But in the long term, an organic lawn will actually cost you less money.

Does Clean Landscaping Take More Maintenance Work?

No! Returning an environment to a more natural state can, before long, require less care and attention.

How Can I Choose Landscaping That Helps Conserve Water?

Depending on your location we can provide you with a guide to native plants for your landscaping, or connect you with one of our approved sustainable landscapers.
