For more than 20 years, I worked in the lawn and landscape industry doing largely what the industry taught me to do. Fertilize the lawn. Control the weeds. Kill the insects. Aerate it. Water it. Mow it. And when something went wrong, apply something else. I didn't...

When a lawn suddenly fills with weeds, thins out, loses color or begins struggling during a hot summer, the natural reaction is usually pretty simple: “What happened to my lawn?” And the next reaction is often: “What do I need to put on it?” More fertilizer? More weed...

For decades, lawn care has been built around a surprisingly simple formula: See a problem. Buy a product. Kill something. Feed something. Water something. Repeat next year. But what if many of the things we consider “normal lawn maintenance” are actually symptoms of a...

When homeowners judge a lawn, one of the first things they look at is color. Is it green? Is it dark green? Is it greener than the neighbor’s? We have been conditioned to associate dark green grass with a healthy lawn. And while color can certainly tell us something...

I need to rant about weeds. Because when people talk about “weeds,” they tend to lump everything together. They shouldn’t. There are really two completely different universes of weeds: The weeds growing in your lawn. And the weeds growing in your rocks. Before we go...

For years, we have been focused on a simple idea:Healthy grass starts with healthy soil.That sounds straightforward, but rebuilding dysfunctional soil is anything but simple.Our biological program has continued to evolve as we learn more about what actually makes soil...

The heat may not be creating the problem. It may be revealing it. If your lawn looks terrible right now, you’re not alone. Across Colorado, we’re seeing lawns develop brown patches, thin areas, discoloration and places that simply seem to be giving up. The obvious...

Some lawns are difficult. Others force you to rethink everything you thought you understood. This is the story of one of the most challenging lawns—and soils—we have ever encountered. We are intentionally hiding the identity of the property because this is not about...

We are not trying to become the cheapest lawn company in town. We are building a value-driven business that monetizes efficiency—efficiency in the soil, efficiency in irrigation, and efficiency in the way a lawn is maintained. That distinction matters. We regularly...

Many of the worst practices in lawn care survive for one simple reason: People keep repeating them. Someone learned a particular way of caring for a lawn from a parent, neighbor, friend, fertilizer company, or lawn-care professional. That information was passed along...

You have probably heard the phrase, “You’re comparing apples to oranges.” That is exactly what happens when people compare a conventional synthetic lawn-care program with a biological soil program. Both may produce green grass, but they do it in fundamentally...

Give us your tired, your frustrated, Your water-weary masses longing to be free— Free from the endless watering, The mounting bills, The fertilizer that promises everything Yet somehow delivers another problem. Send us the lawns scorched by summer, The soil compacted...
