Interest in Organic Lawn Care Up

32-year industry veteran Spring-Green Lawn Care recently claimed organic lawn maintenance has been growing steadily in customer popularity. A hybrid approach leverages that interest while keeping costs manageable for more consumers, meaning potential profits for landscape contractors offering such programs.

Harold Enger is education director for Spring-Green Lawn Care and recently claimed their organic lawn care program has represented a steadily growing segment of their business. However, the costs associated can be prohibitively expensive for many clients; Enger estimates only 5% of their customers opt for the 100% organic plan.

However, they also offer a hybrid program, which adopts some organic practices while utilizing some of the less-costly synthetic products to maintain affordability for more clients. They also still offer traditional approaches for the particularly thrifty client.

Landscape contractors might find similar success offering diversified programs by appealing to a wider potential client base.
