One of the worst tings that can happen to a soil is for it to dehydrate. Several things happen. The microbial life in the soil dies off as it requires moisture to survive. In doing so, it leaves a waxy substance in the soil that increasingly creates a condition in the...

What most people do not understand. that is from a consumer level, is that things cost money and goods and services are not arbitrary, they are largely dictated by market forces and the cost associated with providing them. It takes a lot of energy to move assets and...

If you want to end that which causes you stress in your lawn, you will want to read on. There are two methods of managing lawn care, the traditional method known as the synthetic system (because it uses man-made chemicals) and the biological system which is the...

As robotic technology increases and the cost of energy, specifically lithium-ion technology continues to increase the affordability of robotic mowing will become more accessible to the general public. Economic forces,  legislation, energy and of course good...

It is 2025 and I have one question, does your lawn cost more to operate now than it did 10 years ago? Have you done anything to remedy this? If not, are you open to saving 20-50% of what you are currently paying? More for less, sounds good right? Well let me explain....

I had a customer several years ago, who had been a customer for well over a decade that was really struggling with our biological program. He did not see the purpose and it although he told me he read all of my blogs and newsletters, he did not see the value in it....

I have this saying, "people don't lose their lawns in the summer, they set them up for failure to lose them during winter." A combination of shallow watering that has developed a short root structure and a thick thatch is a prime candidate for winter kill. This...

There is a price to be paid for convenience and that price is being helpfully paid by consumers all across America. Let me clarify, the traditional means of lawn care is grossly inefficient which is costing the average consumer in excess of 50% of their lawn care...

Something that we often overlook when we are paying for products and services is the cost of energy. It is factored into everything that we partake in. This holds true in the landscaping industry. It is often overlooked and very rarely paid attention to but there is a...

For nearly two decades, I did what everyone else in this industry does. I ran routes. I pushed gas mowers. I applied fertilizers the way I was taught. I adjusted irrigation and hoped for the best. And for a long time, I accepted that this was just “how lawn care...

When plants and roots die (or drop leaves), tiny soil workers (microbes) eat that stuff. After lots of eating and re-eating, what’s left becomes a dark material called humus. Humus is the part that doesn’t rot fast anymore. It sticks around a long time, helping soil...

Gas mowing is dying. Not because it can’t cut grass… but because it’s an expensive, loud, inefficient relic that keeps getting more costly to operate. Robotic mowing is the opposite: quiet, consistent, ultra-efficient—and it finally fixes the biggest flaw in modern...
