Greening your Business: All-Natural, Eco-friendly Lawn Care Product
Spring is in sight, which means now’s the time to start preparing your client’s lawns – or encouraging your customers to get started prepping their lawn, themselves – for the warmer weather.
With the growing trend to go green and with some areas facing laws against the use of pesticides, the plight for an environmentally-friendly lawn care product that still delivers the optimal results your clients expect is more important than ever. We’ve been diving into the topic of green solutions to pesticides ourselves and, in our quest to discover the latest trends we’ve come across a green manufacturing company that appears to be receiving quite a bit of buzz throughout Canada and the US as well.
TurfRevolution™ is a company that produces a variety of 100 percent organic, plant and mineral-based turf care products and fertilizers (also free of synthetic ingredients and animal by-products) composed of all-natural ingredients, including corn gluten meal, potassium, sulphur, nitrogen and magnesium, that work to balance the biological nutrition profile of turf grass.
TurfRevolution™ also features a special Lawn Care Program, which is a great feature to recommend to your customers. The program is designed to help homeowners take proper care of their lawn by following simple steps and making use TurfRevolution™ products at the right application. According to the program, the upcoming late winter/early spring months are about aerating the soil to prevent soil compaction and encourage the absorption of water and nutrients into the soil. It’s also important to over-seed the lawn to ensure patches of grass lost from the havoc winter months are covered and restored, and top-dress the lawn to increase the soil’s ability to hold water. Lastly, the lawn needs to be fertilized in the later portion of the spring season. Make sure your customers are well-educated on proper lawn care. Start by referring them to this program.
Another great feature to recommend to your customers is the TurfRevolution™ soil testing kit. Customers can send in small samples of their soil and within 7-10 business days receive a complete review of the soil’s deficiencies, as well as a recommended “fertility program” that will show customers the steps to take and the products to use to ensure their lawn reaches its full potential and flourishes into a healthy, lush state.
