Did you know that 1 acre of grass produces more oxygen than 1 acre of rain forest? This bit of valuable information was shared in a study conducted by the International Society of Arboriculture and demonstrates that if you take care of your lawn and green spaces, they will take care of you.
Certainly Gainesville lawn spraying and fertilizing has to be done in a environmentally-concious manner, but Florida-Freindly landscaping is about more than just reducing grass and installing more mulch. It's about making sure that your lawn, plants, and trees are low-maintenance, eco-friendly, and don't need a lot of pesticides to maintain.
A great example of this is Gainesville Landscaping that includes Zoysia sod installation, so that it doesn't require treatments to protect from Chinch Bugs. Find out how you can improve your Gainesville, Florida landscape and make it environmentally friendly by calling our office today to discuss upgrading your sod to low-maintenance turfgrass, installing florida-friendly landscape plants, and upgrading your sprinkler system with a weather sensor (keeps from wasting water) and water-efficient nozzles.
In light of this recent study, don't fall into the hype of replacing your sod with mulch to be environmentally friendly. A healthy low maintenance Gainesville landscape with grass produces much more oxygen than mulch ever will.
