At Stangl’s Enviro Lawn Care, we believe that the key to a beautiful and sustainable lawn is a healthy soil ecosystem. That’s why we design our lawn care process to work in harmony with nature, using regenerative techniques that build soil health, increase biodiversity, and promote nutrient cycling.
One of the ways we ensure that our process is optimized for soil health is through our soil health calculation, which is based on the ratio of fungus to bacteria biomass in the soil. We aim for a ratio of 1:1 to 3:1, with a preference for more fungus, as this indicates a healthy, biologically active soil ecosystem.
Why is this important? Well, in nature, the soil ecosystem is a complex web of organisms that work together to support plant growth and health. Fungi, bacteria, and other microorganisms all play critical roles in nutrient cycling, breaking down organic matter, and creating a healthy soil structure that allows roots to penetrate and access nutrients.
Unfortunately, the lawn care industry has largely ignored this natural process, instead relying on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides that disrupt the delicate balance of the soil ecosystem. The so-called “green revolution” of the mid-20th century pushed the narrative that we needed to add more and more synthetic inputs to increase yields and profits, but this approach has been proven to be unsustainable in the long run.
At Stangl’s Enviro Lawn Care, we’re challenging this outdated paradigm and working to create a new standard for lawn care that is in harmony with nature. We use regenerative techniques like composting, topdressing, and the application of our proprietary Nature’s Brew to build soil health and promote nutrient cycling. By doing so, we’re not only creating beautiful, healthy lawns, but also supporting the health of the wider ecosystem and reducing our impact on the environment.
One of the keys to our success has been our commitment to community. We work closely with our customers to understand their unique needs and goals, and we involve them in the process every step of the way. By working together, we’re able to create beautiful, healthy lawns that are in harmony with nature and provide long-lasting benefits for the environment.
So if you’re looking for a better way to care for your lawn, consider working with Stangl’s Enviro Lawn Care. Our approach is based on science, community, and a deep respect for the natural world. Together, we can create a healthier, more sustainable future for our communities and our planet.
