Organic Landscaping for Your Yard

Published on: March 7, 2015

Are you trying to live a green, eco-friendly lifestyle? Maintaining a beautiful yard often requires the use of fertilizers and weed control products, many of which can be harmful to the environment. If living green is important to you, there are many benefits to using organic products for your landscaping projects. You can still have the beautiful yard you dream of, without adding chemicals to the plants and soil.

Benefits of Organic Landscaping

If you visit a local landscape supply store, you will see hundreds of products designed to help you nurture your plants and rid your landscaping of unwanted weeds. While many of these use chemicals, there are organic options available, which are made from natural components. In most cases, the organic products work as well, or even better, than the comparable synthetic options. Some of the benefits of using organic products include:

  • Animal safety. Chemical lawn products can be toxic to animals, putting wildlife and your pets in danger. Most organic products are safe for animals and for your family.
  • Soil enhancement. Organic products add to the quality of your soil, instead of releasing toxins into the ground. Organic materials can improve soil moisture and aeration, creating healthier plant growth.
  • Longevity. Organic fertilizers, mulch and even weed control products often last longer than their chemical counterparts. Instead of washing away, they slowly break down and help retain the health of your lawn and gardens.

If protecting your family, pets and the environment is important to you, talk to your local landscaper or landscape supply store about using organic products on your yard. You can have a beautiful lawn and healthy gardens, without the harmful effects of chemical landscaping products.
