Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Does natural lawn care really work?
A. Of course. Look at the picture on the left. Our friend John is a real landscaper and that’s a 100% organic lawn he's standing on. No pesticides, no synthetic fertilizers, just good turf management and a knowledge of natural lawn care techniques.

Q. But how can you kill pests without pesticides?
A. In a natural lawn program, we concentrate on growing things, not killing things. In our program, healthy soil biology and good horticultural techniques keep things in balance. Remember, before the 1960s every lawn and golf course in America was maintained without pesticides. Professional landscapers understood how soil biology worked, and they used it to create beautiful landscapes. With Natural Turf Pro, you’ll learn the proven science of natural landscaping.

Q. I've heard that natural lawn care is more expensive than a chemical program. Is that true?
A. The honest answer is "It depends." Organic products can be more expensive than their chemical counterparts, but they often cover more ground and last longer than synthetic products. One thing we know: the cost of a chemical program will probably go up every year (most pesticides are made from oil), while the cost of maintaining a natural lawn will go down every year as the soil biology improves.

Q. How long does it take to convert a chemical lawn to a natural lawn?
A. It can take a little as one season to make the conversion, depending on the condition of the lawn, the history of chemical use and the cooperation of your customer. With Natural Turf Pro you'll learn how to determine the condition of a lawn and exactly which amendments to use to bring things into balance.

Q. I've heard that in side-by-side comparisons, organic products don't perform as well as chemical products. Why is that?
A. A successful natural lawn care program requires healthy soil biology, the exclusive use of natural amendments and revised horticultural methods. Unless these things are all part of the test, the results will usually favor chemical products which don't depend on healthy soil biology. The only thing which can really be concluded from these tests is that some people have no idea what organic lawn care is all about.

Q. Will Natural Turf Pro help me add a natural lawn care program to my existing business?
A. Yes, that's exactly what it's designed to do. With Natural Turf Pro you'll learn everything you need to get started in a natural lawn care program. However, we strongly recommend that you continue to learn about natural lawn care from the many books, magazines and training courses which are available.

Q. What if I'm not satisfied with Natural Turf Pro?
A. We are very proud of our Natural Turf Pro training program and stand behind it 100%. If you are not satisfied for any reason, just return the product to us in good condition within 30 days for a full refund.
