Objection #1: Lawns are expensive. Answer – Expense is relative, more specifically most lawns are highly dysfunctional due to a number of problems largely dealing with the soil. Once these problems are fixed the lawns become more efficient. Most lawns are experiencing...
Effectiveness vs. Efficiency
There is confusion in the market amongst commercial contractors that is costing them dearly. We are sacrificing efficiency for effectiveness. This might seem like a crazy statement but please let me explain. For the past few decades the landscaping industry as it...
Is the Biological Method more EXPENSIVE?

Your Lawn Is Thirsty… But Sure, Let’s Pretend It Can Sip Air
Let’s talk about soil hydration — or as I like to call it: the annual ritual of ignoring every warning and then acting shocked when the lawn dies in spring. Because apparently, somewhere out there, a rumor started that grass can photosynthesize regret and hydrate...
