Core Aerations
In Durango’s semi-arid climate, performing core aerations once or twice a year is the cure for soil compaction, and this are the reason: removing small cores of soil, which remain on the surface, helps break down existing thatch. Breakdown of the thatch provides more air to the roots so they grow deeper, and it prevents water runoff. This process ultimately makes your lawn more drought-tolerant, and the cores left behind slowly release nutrients back into the soil.

Dethatching
Thatch, in your lawn, is no more than a layer of dead grass – or plant material – that includes roots, grass and leaves, which lay on the surface of the soil. While some may consider it “compost” material, thatch is actually decomposing plant material that can suffocate your lawn. To ensure a healthy lawn after a long and cold Durango winter, it is important to expose the soil to warmth and sunlight. The best way to do this is to dethatch your lawn. Dethatching provides many benefits including: healthy root growth, improved fertilizer penetration and more effective draining.

Our Lawn Difference? It’s Organic.
Organic Fertilizer
The fertilizer we use is an alfalfa hay-based product sourced locally in Loveland, CO. It is important to us to use this product because we care about you, your family, your pets and our environment. Some of the benefits this fertilizer provides are: highest organic matter content, highest humic acid value, low pH for Colorado’s alkaline soils, balanced nutrient solubility for controlled nutrient release, in addition to having no odor, no heavy metals, no salts and is non-toxic, non-burning and non-staining. These qualities provide mineral and organic nutrients naturally without loss to the environment, contributing to an appealing, healthy lawn free of pesticides and harsh chemicals.
