At Stangl’s, we’re more than just a lawn care company. We’re a group of individuals who are passionate about sustainability, nature, and the incredible power of soil health. For 42 years, we’ve been helping homeowners and businesses transition from chemical-based lawn care to a more holistic, natural approach that works with nature, not against it.
But why does this matter? Why should you care about the health of your soil and the sustainability of your lawn? Well, for one, it’s better for the planet. When we use chemicals and synthetic fertilizers on our lawns, we’re not only harming the soil and the plants, but we’re also contributing to pollution and environmental damage. By embracing sustainable practices and nurturing the life within our soil, we can act locally and impact the globe.
But it’s not just about the planet. It’s also about you. The life within the soil is the same that is within us, and by nurturing the soil, we can create a healthier, more vibrant environment for ourselves and our communities. Working in the soil has been shown to energize and uplift us, and by creating a sustainable, nature-based sanctuary in our own yards, we can experience that every day.
So, what does sustainable lawn care look like in practice? It starts with understanding soil health. Just like a healthy diet and exercise can improve human health, a healthy soil biology can improve plant growth and health. We measure soil health with a simple ratio – the ratio of carbon to nitrogen in the soil. A ratio of 1:1 is like being on life support – the soil is compacted, lacking in nutrients, and unable to support healthy plant growth. By engaging nature’s momentum to grow plant diversity, we can break up compaction, scavenge for minerals, and create organic matter that turns into nutrient-rich soil.
But sustainable regenerative lawn care isn’t just about one application or one silver bullet solution. It’s a lifestyle, a commitment to working with nature and nurturing the life within our soil. That’s why we pivot and adjust our approach as needed, applying Pelletized Ultimate Compost, aerating to remove cores, and spraying our Nature’s Brew compost extract with lunch box (a blend of minerals for the turf and soil life) to boost momentum and support long-term health. So, if you’re ready to embrace sustainable regenerative lawn care and create a sanctuary in your own yard, look no further than Stangl’s. We follow the science, we embrace nature, and we’re here to help you make the transition to a healthier, more sustainable approach to lawn care. Let’s work together to create a more vibrant, more beautiful world, one lawn at a time
