We invented the Low Chemical model. There are copycats that say they can and will do it, but guess what? they don't and can't.
Why? Simple. It's too labor intensive for their business models.
Here’s what some of our customers had to say about us:
“This company does a terrific job of working with the home owner to get the best lawn possible. There are no machines spraying chemical all over the grass and in the air. Great people to work with” .
“Sustainable Safelawns has taken care of our lawn over the last 5 years. We have 5 grandchildren and do not like heavy chemicals on our lawn. We also value a wonderful looking yard. Steve and crew provides a low chemical solution that has given us our beautiful yard. We highly recommend Sustainable Safelawns”
“Sustainable Safelawns has helped us develop the BEST LAWN we've ever had. The personalized service and free "Weed Patrol" visits have helped us maintain a lawn we are proud of. Hat's off to Steve and Sustainable Safelawns! ! ! ! !”
“I couldn’t be happier with this service. It’s personal, affordable, and safer for our family and our dog. They will come out to spot treat in demand at no charge”
THEM
Traditional competitor business models combine herbicides and insecticides with their fertilizers (the notorious weed and feed fertilizer products). And worse than these weed and feed fertilizer products are the tanker trucks that literally “hose down” your lawn with a toxic unsafe chemical stew. They do this irrespective of actual weed status. And if it can get worse, it does: These excessive toxic applications are repeated 4/5 times over the course of the growing season. Over 65 million pounds of pesticides are used on American Family lawns each year. CRAZY! The result is higher unsafe chemical exposure to family and pets, and, often overlooked, the decimation of the soil substrate and microbial ecosystem, and pollution of our groundwater tables.

We are a healthier alternative!
Our business model recognizes that growing grass and managing weeds are two separate and very distinct functions. For growing grass, we use only very high quality fertilizers, WITHOUT herbicides, insecticides, etc. It’s just a great food source for the turf, and it’s properly applied across your lawn.
Our weed management is handled through targeted spot treatment. After fertilization, our technicians walk the property again — a second time — systematically and carefully spot-treating the weeds. This is a much more labor-intensive approach, but it ensures that we minimize chemicals applied and use only what is needed. And, in between fertilizer applications, we check and spot weed treat all of our properties at NO additional charge.
And we never use ATV's. Running a heavy ATV all over the lawn causes serious compaction to the turf, complicating nutrient and moisture movement through the substrate and always leads to an over application of chemicals.
The health and safety issues associated with over applying lawn chemicals are real and are especially problematic for kids and pets.
We offer a safer alternative!
