Your Lawn. Your Program.
Naturally Greener Lawns offers customized Organic Lawn Care Programs in Northern New Jersey that gradually eliminates the need for chemicals and pesticides without sacrificing the appearance of your lawn. No one can provide a better people, pet and environmentally friendly lawn care service, while still developing the beautiful landscapes that we do.
As a local family-owned and operated business, your lawn care plan is personalized...and this is how we do it:
At Naturally Greener Lawns, we build our lawn care program using Cornell University's Environmental Impact Quotient (EIQ) calculator. Ask your lawn care company if they have even heard of it! It was devised to determine the environmental impact of most commonly used pesticides (insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides) in agriculture and horticulture. EIQ takes into consideration the pesticide’s impact on the customer, the environment and our applicator. So, for instance, a 4-step, do-it-yourself program from one of the big "box" stores has an EIQ (environmental impact) of 81.8. O ur current, typical Ecogrow program, which is our most popular program, has an EIQ of 22.6. That is a 72% reduction which equates to being better for you, the environment and our applicators! Our ultimate goal is to reach an EIQ of 0!
100% Organic OrganiGrow Program
OrganiGrow is for those looking for a 100% organic lawn care. No pesticides usage whatsoever while also reducing pest problems. It is effective, but it is for those who want to go down a non-conventional path and can deal with their lawn looking a little less tame, with some weeds. It has an EIQ of 0, but most lawns do not have the biology to immediately support our OrganiGrow program.
This Lawn Care Program consists of 8 treatments, completed in 6 visits over the course of the season. This program provides the essential nutrients that your lawn needs, in addition Organic Bio-Stimulants that increase your Turf's Natural Pest, Disease, and Weed Suppression.
