Composting Grass, Leaves for Spring Renewal

A Commercial Landscape maintenance company considers nutrient-rich compost as “black gold” for their properties. Extreme weather always affects soil quality. Natural or organic compost including grass cuttings and leaves restores essential nutrients resulting in a gorgeous garden with healthy turf, plants, shrubs and trees. Compost is especially important for spring renewal.

The popularity (and huge savings) of sustainable landscaping  has led to many commercial property managers composting as a cost-effective way to:

  • Restore nutrients to the soil
  • Avoid use of chemical fertilizers
  • Recycle garden waste
  • Reduce irrigation requirements and landscape maintenance cost
  • Realize water management goals and
  • Create a spectacular garden that promotes conservation

How to use the compost for spring renewal?

  • Lawn: Add up to 3 inches of organic compost to your grass, rake to spread evenly and then water it. Regular raking and watering facilitates decomposition and promotes a drought and insect-resistant turf.
  • Plants, trees and shrubs: Use compost as mulch for plant, tree and shrub beds. Spread a layer of 2 to 3 inches for nutrient-rich soil that retains moisture and discourages growth of weeds.
  • Soil treatment: Dig up to 4 inches of soil, mix in compost and spread. You can also mix it with potting soil used in planters and baskets.

An experienced landscape management company can show you how to start up your own composting unit and use it to fertilize your garden. Use compost and smart irrigation controls to convert to a self-maintaining landscape.
