                                                <p>Pollinators such as bees and butterflies need your help. Pesticides have been contributing to the decline of bee and butterfly populations by disrupting their habitats and sources for food. Bees and butterflies play a crucial role in flowering plant reproduction and in the production of most fruits and vegetables. Avoid the use of pesticides in your garden and lawn. Consider using native plants that bees and butterflies love.&nbsp;</p>

                                                <span>Natural Lawn Care is not hard to do (we promise!). Natural Lawn Care is not &lsquo;no care&rsquo; but a different way of approaching how you take care of your lawn or other turf. The idea is to move away from a product oriented approach and instead focus on improving your soil health and increasing turf density. If you can achieve both of these goals, you will have a lawn that can withstand weeds, insects and drought much easier because its &lsquo;immune system&rsquo; has improved and can fight off these pesky problems naturally.</span><br />
