YardScape

What is YardScaping?

YardScaping helps you build healthy soil to grow all kinds of landscapes from lawns to rain gardens in your yard without relying on pesticides and fertilizers. It also helps:

  • Create a low-maintenance yard that saves you money, time, and effort.

  • Make your yard more functional for how YOU want to use it.

  • Be more resistant to pests and prepared for drought.

  • Attract more birds, butterflies, and other wildlife.

  • Prevent erosion and drainage issues.

Do you hire a landscaping company?

Ask them to use YardScaping practices like:

  • Apply fertilizer in the early fall, based on soil test results, not on a fixed schedule. Applying unneeded fertilizer is a waste of time and money and pollutes our water.

  • Build topsoil by aerating and topdressing soil with compost. Compost will add organic matter, hold more water, and increase topsoil depth for healthier roots.

  • Use YardScaping practices to reduce pests instead of using pesticides. 

  • Use native plants that provide food and shelter to pollinators and other wildlife.
