Organic / Natural Lawn Programs
Organic vs. Natural Lawn Care Programs
There is considerable confusion on the part of some homeowners concerning the use of the term “organic” as it applies to lawn care materials. Some of this confusion is intentional on the part of some lawn care companies wanting to sell an organic program. .
Strictly speaking, an “organic” product mean nothing more than the product chemically contains the element carbon somewhere in its molecule. However, there can be both natural and synthetic organic products. Natural organic products are derived from animals and/or plant sources, while synthetic organic products are derived from a lab or a factory.
Most lawn fertilizers and control products are synthetic organic products. Thus, a lawn care company can offer an organic program to an unsuspecting consumer who perceives that he/she is receiving a natural organic product.
SeaScape Lawn Care offers both types of lawn care programs. Most customers choose our traditional program (yes, it contains synthetic organic products) because we are able to control pests such as crabgrass, grubs and dandelions.
SeaScape also offers a truly natural organic fertilization program as well. The fertilizer in this program is derived from animal sources such as chicken manure. The program does not contain any synthetic pest controls. Natural pest controls are either nonexistent, very expensive or do not do a good job. See the details of our natural program in the SeaScape brochure.
Many SeaScape customers will opt for a combination of our two programs – they want the advantages of the all natural organic fertilizer, but would like to also receive a limited amount of crabgrass and grub control as well. If this is the case, we can customize a program for you. Give us a call if you would like more details.
