Children need safe lawns and turf to play on. Organic practices ensure children have consistent and safe access to playing spaces.

Many of the products the US EPA regards as “minimal risk at high doses” have now been found to be “high risk at low doses” in children.

As adults in charge of spaces where children play, we must to do better.

At Minnehaha Falls Landscaping we strive to continuously improve so we can develop and share effective organic turf transition techniques.

Fertility Services

Organic Fertilizers help lawns become resilient to stress like foot traffic and drought. Microbiome Extract and Conditioner are best when paired and they help grass plants grow deeper roots so lawns can fill in thick and healthy. We recommend combining all of our fertility treatments if your lawn is struggling, or you are concerned with its aesthetics. If you are interested only in maintaining a baseline of health, Aeration and Over-Seeding is the primary fertility service we recommend.

If you have grubs, you’ll want to combine all of our fertility services with our Beneficial Nematode Treatment option. If the grubs problem has led to large bare areas, please ask about our rapid transition method to repair damaged lawns.

Our organic fertility options pose no risk for kids, pets, and adults to play and walk on immediately after treatment. We never use any pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. 

Weeding

Unlike many of our competitors, we are 100% organic and never use synthetics in our landscaping. Instead, we practice hand weeding because it is the most ecologically and ethically responsible approach. Weeding is a complex service and is complicated by a vast variety of factors such as quantity of rainfall and soil moisture, soil type, age of weeds and depth of roots, specifics about species, weeds interwoven with perennials and shrubs, weeds in clay or rocky soils that are more difficult to dig, etc. Our dedicated team of trained and talented gardeners provide excellent results.

Fall Cleanup

We offer one or two visit options for fall lawn clean-up. We use rakes and blowers to take leaves off the lawn, patio, walkways, driveway, and sidewalks. We haul away the leaves to a local composter, or we can leave the leaves in a pile so you can use them as mulch through the next season.

Spring Cleanup

We use rakes and blowers to remove the leaves from your lawn, walkways, patios, and driveways. We can haul away all the leaves to a local composting facility, or we can leave them in a pile for you to use as free mulch through the growing season.

Mulching and Composting 

Compost, mulch, or a mixture of, can be spread over garden beds to a thickness and proportion that clients desire.  Mulch can be used around trees, shrubs, garden plants, and on pathways.
