If you have been looking into lawn care in Dayton, Ohio, you might be weighing your options. Not only are there a lot of lawn care companies in our region, but there are seemingly different types of lawn care too, including both “traditional” and “organic” programs.

We’ve written before about how organic lawn care isn’t really all it’s made out to be with its buzz words and hype. But people still get wrapped up in the marketing lingo and end up searching for organic lawn care companies.

If you’ve been searching for organic lawn care in Cincinnati or Dayton, one of the options that may have popped up is PureLawn Organic Lawn Care. As with any lawn care company that you might be considering, the best way to make a decision is to do your research and truly understand what you’re investing in.

We’ve helped do this with a number of companies, such as Experigreen, throughout the history of our blog.

In this one, we will take a closer look at PureLawn Organic Lawn Care vs. Oasis Turf & Tree. At the end of the day, we want you to feel like you’ve made the best choice for your lawn.

Who is PureLawn Organic Lawn Care?

PureLawn is a local lawn care company, which (as a locally owned and operated family business ourselves), we can appreciate.

Using a locally-based company is a benefit to you, as they should understand the needs of our area as opposed to just following a prescribed lawn care program, as a large, national lawn service chain might do.

PureLawn obviously advertises itself as an organic lawn care company but they do have more than one program option.PureLawn has both a “Bridge” lawn care program (that uses some traditional lawn care products, like those for weed control) and a “Pure Green” program, which is said to not use any traditional products.

Instead, the 100-percent organic program uses things like corn gluten meal and molasses to treat the lawn.

The trouble is, that organic lawn care is not nearly as effective as traditional lawn care programs. Oftentimes when people invest in organic lawn care, they end up being frustrated with the results.

If you’re paying for Cincinnati lawn services, you want results. You want your dandelions to go away, a lawn free from the worries of grubs, and a lawn that you’re proud to show off. Commonly-accepted lawn care programs employ the use of effective fertilizers and weed and pest control products to achieve these results.

How Does Oasis Turf & Tree Compare?

In comparing Oasis to PureLawn, our program is most similar (but still with a crucial difference) to PureLawn’s blended program that uses both synthetic and organic-based products.

However, organic fertilizer alone is not the same thing as organic-based fertilizer with bionutrition, and that’s a key difference in our program. This unique approach focuses on soil health, which is the true secret to a healthy lawn.
This is something that we take seriously. In order to truly reduce the needs of non-organic materials to a significantly lower level, we needed to go a step beyond the norm of just organic-based fertilizer, also incorporating bionutrition into our program. Organic fertilizer alone isn’t enough to get a lawn where it really ought to be, which is functioning the way nature intended. We want lawns that, over time, require less and less of these non-organic materials.

This process begins by introducing beneficial microbes to the soil throughout the year. It restores soil to the way nature intended it to be. It’s a crucial step well beyond just applying organic-based fertilizers and one most companies do not take.
This is important as naturally healthy soil is full of beneficial microorganisms like fungi and bacteria, which help a plant to digest nutrients. These microorganisms also help strengthen your lawn against disease and pests. Healthy, biologically active soil has a highly diverse array of this microscopic life.

While fungi and bacteria are the most well-known, it also includes protozoa, mites, and micro arthropods, to name just a few. There can actually be as many as 50,000 species in just a teaspoon of soil. It is this healthy blend of living organisms that helps create optimal growing conditions for the lawn.

Of course, we do also use some non-organic products because they work best. And because we are committed to adhering to best practices and strictly following guidelines, we can help keep lawn care safe, too.
A 100-percent organic lawn care program is simply not going to be as effective as the majority of homeowners desire.
