Organic Lawn Care

The Davey Tree Expert Company is proud to offer organic lawncare as one of its many residential lawn care services.

Turf managers face a growing challenge to keep fertilizer nutrients in the soil and prevent leaching. Organic fertilizers can help meet this challenge. They use nature's way of supplying nutrients in turf and plants. Nutrients are released slowly through normal biological activity in the soil. This process allows nutrients to become available at about the same rate they are needed by turf and plants. Organic fertilizers provide a sustainable and natural approach to fertilizing.

Organic fertilizers help improve soil humus. This improves soil quality by loosening clay soils to promote deep rooting and allow better penetration of water and nutrients. In sandy soil, our fertilizers can improve nutrient and water-holding capacity, thereby reducing the need for excess watering.

The primary type of fertilizer that we use is produced in the northwest from marine fish by-products recovered from the commercial harvest, not used for human consumption. The reclaiming process produces an excellent fertilizer and contributes to conservation of resources.
