Wagner Lawncare-Grass Cut Away

Organic Lawn Care

The term “organic” can be quite misleading as it really means that the substance being described is carbon based. Is there anything in our world that isn’t carbon based?

Some lawn care operators use terms like “organic-based”, which is very misleading. For a product to be organic-based it must have a minimum of 15% organic materials – so it can have up to 85% synthetic material!

Watch out for companies who try to fool you using the term “organic-based”. It really means nothing, but gives the unsuspecting homeowner the perception they are getting a true organic program – which is not the case!

Wagner’s Organic Program utilizes only 100% organic fertilizers. We also utilize the cultural practices of soil amendments, bio-stimulants, aerating, and over-seeding …without the use of chemical applications.

One 100% Organic Bio-Stimulant Spray

“Wagner’s new proprietary organic bio-stimulant spray is a blend of seaweed, various micronutrients, and plant extracts including neem oil. Regular use of this biodegradable spray will improve the overall health of your lawn by increasing the soils water and nutrient holding capacity, increasing root structure and mass. It’s like a multi-vitamin for your lawn! As a result, your grass will be less susceptible to environmental stresses like insects and drought, and be greener and healthier.

We also instruct the homeowner on other cultural practices like proper water and cutting as part of a healthy lawn strategy.

The idea is to thicken the lawn and increase its vigor to limit the establishment of weeds and damage by insects.

Before any applications to a lawn, we suggest a soil test. This helps Wagner know the conditions of the soil, which is the literal foundation for a healthy lawn. See the notes under “Soil testing”.

In Wagner’s Organic Program, a few types of organic fertilizers or soil amendments are utilized depending on the soil conditions and the environment.

Aerating is also part of any sound lawn care program. Click here to find out more on aerating.

Finally, over-seeding with a proper “certified” grass seed specific for the area being serviced is another vital part of Wagner’s Organic Program. Wagner utilizes a certified quality grass seed, ensuring a high germination rate with no weed seeds in the mix. Our over-seeding mix is a special three-way blend of perennial rye cultivars specifically used for over-seeding. Creeping red fescues are used when over-seeding in a area where shade is an issue.
