Natural yard care is the practice of working with nature in the care and maintenance of our yards and gardens. It requires less water, less chemicals and less time than conventional yard care. By working with nature in your yard, you can have a great looking landscape that is easier to care for and healthier for families, pets, wildlife, and our environment.
Start with these 5 steps:
1. Build healthy soil with compost and mulch
2. Plant right for your site
3. Practice smart watering
4. Think twice before using pesticides
5. Practice natural lawn care
