Healthy Lawn Factsheets
Lead the way to healthy lawns, go pesticide-free today!  Toronto's pesticide by-law means its a great time to go natural. But natural lawns are much more than grass without chemicals. A natural lawn works with nature to be naturally resistant to pests. The best part is, they are easier to care for and always safe to walk on. Once you have one, you'll never turn back! Is your lawn addicted to chemicals? While the "quick-fix" chemical lawn looks green, it isn't. In addition to the health and environmental risks, the chemicals hurt the soil, destroy beneficial insects and weaken the grass, making it more vulnerable to problems. In the end, your lawn becomes addicted to chemicals! If your lawn has been maintained with too much watering, too short cutting and too many chemicals, it's probably pretty sick. It will need a little extra TLC to get healthy. Don't get discouraged. Once you've made the transition to a healthy natural lawn, you'll spend LESS time taking care of it and more time enjoying it! Need help? TEA's Natural Leaders, Healthy Lawns Fact Sheet Set gives you the information you need to you have natural lawn. Click on any of the fact sheets below to download a PDF version:
