Your lawn is the pride and joy of your property and you’d do any lawn care maintenance to ensure that its ecosystem is properly flowing. At Executive Lawn Care, we like to think that most people would want to apply maintenance practices that improve the environment of their communities as a whole.
Unfortunately, though, the environmental mindset of lawn care typically stops at a homeowner’s property line; not out of malice but due to lack of information.
We believe that if people truly knew how easy it was for the average person or lawn maintenance company to improve their surroundings with “greener” lawn care, they’d do it. So, here’s a look at some of the most immediate and effective ways that you can keep your lawn beautiful while having a positive impact on the environment.
Invest in a Lawn Moisture Meter
A soil moisture meter will easily help you save money on your water use throughout the year. These pieces of equipment are extremely accurate at measuring how much water your lawn receives and when you’re watering too much.
Not only does this conserve water from your local resources but it also guarantees that your lawn won’t drown due to oversaturation.
Take Your Mowing Into Consideration
While you could always save resources by breaking out the reel mower, the lawn care professionals at Executive Lawn Care have a controlled lawn mowing service that keeps your grass environmentally pure without the added exertion.
We ensure that our mowing blades are always sharp and that we mow your lawn at a consistently healthy height that mitigates the potential pollination for unwanted weeds that can quickly spread out of control on your property.
Stick to Organic Pest Control
Although we already forbid our team from spreading harmful pesticides across the environment, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t natural ways to ward off pests from your property.
Keep your community’s air quality fresher with these organic forms of pest control:
- Dish soap and water solution spread across your problem areas
- Diatomaceous Earth
- Applying bacillus thuringiensis to affected areas
- Neem oils
Introduce Native Plants to You Flower Beds
Although you may have an idea of how you want your flower beds to look, it’s always a great idea to pepper in some native Texas plants to give the environment an extra boost. When you add native, pollinating plants to your landscape, you give the surrounding environment an advantage to flourish with little effort.
Natural pollinators don’t require much effort to flourish and are healthy for their surroundings. Some of the most popular Texas pollinators for your flower bed include:
- Texas Kidneywood
- Texas Prairie Parsley
- Twoleaf Senna
- Butterfly Weed, and more!
A reliable, knowledgeable lawn care professional can help you make aesthetically and environmentally pleasing choices for floral additions to your landscape.
