Organo-Lawn Of Fort Collins

Organo-Lawn DOES NOT offer lawn mowing as a services, but we do understand how to properly mow a lawn. Two small changes to lawn mowing will dramatically improve a lawn's appearance and overall health. Often the highest setting on most mower types is 3 inches. Mowing the grass at 3 inches or taller will prevent diseases, promote deep digging roots, help the grass conserve water, improve turf density, and improve turf color. This one minor change of mowing on the highest setting will make a major improvement in the overall health and beauty of your lawn.

Organo-Lawn is a professional tree care company. Our tree care experts are state licensed and we specialize in environmentally friendly tree care services. Boulder and Fort Collins Colorado are in a high plains desert. The Northern Front Range of Colorado only receives about 14 inches of natural precipitation per year and this is problematic for trees. Fortunately, Organo-Lawn is an expert in tree care in Colorado. Our expert tree care technicians can help with deep root tree fertilization, insect control, treating chlorotic trees, and winter tree trimming.

In 2010 Organo-Lawn invented a 100% organic post emergent weed killer that would kill weeds in a lawn without killing the grass. We called this natural weed killer One Earth Weed Control. This was a huge achievement in the organic lawn care industry, because this was the first time a weed killer for lawns had been discovered. The impossible was now possible, we could kill weeds in a lawn without also killing the grass. This discovery has revolutionized the organic lawn care business and we can now turn even the worst weed infested lawn into a beautiful lawn in about one seasons worth of treatments.

Organo-Lawn has been providing local lawn treatment services for the Boulder and Fort Collins area since 1997. Organo-Lawn's approach to lawn care is different than most national and chemical local lawn care service companies. Organo-Lawn believes that if the soil is healthy then the lawn and trees will be healthy. To create a healthy soil Organo-Lawn believes in proper lawn watering practices, the use of only natural and organic lawn care products, proper lawn mowing, core aeration, and Humate soil conditioners.

Proper watering for the lawn is the most important aspect of organic lawn and tree care, yet it is the biggest frustration that homeowners face. Most lawn watering problems that we see in lawns in the Boulder and Fort Collins areas are either over watering, watering too many days per week, or poor sprinkler coverage. The ideal time to water a lawn is early in the morning before the sun comes up. It is best to have the sprinkler system programmed so the last zone finishes no later than 6:00 AM. If this is not feasible then the next best time to water the lawn is late evening.

If you were not home during the sprinkler blowout service or you want to drain the sprinkler system's pipe prior to our arrival, please follow the instructions below very carefully. Please note that if you skip any steps in the process your sprinkler system might have damage the following spring. The following is how to drain the sprinkler system pipe for winter. Go to wherever the water shutoff to the sprinkler system is located. This is typically downstairs in the crawlspace or basement. Find the sprinkler shutoff valve, this valve could be a lever (ball valve- Illustration B) or a thing to twist like your outside spigot (gate valve- Illustration C).

Our organic weed control programs work great on broad-leaf weeds in the lawn, but organics do have a few limitations. Organic weed controls can control the majority of weeds in a lawn, but there are some very hard to control weeds that require special weed killers. Even though we use synthetic weed control products for very specific weeds, we choose products that are extremely low toxic to bees, people, pets, and are environmentally friendly. The specialty weed controls that we use are highly effective at controlling the targeted weeds.
