Since all successful natural lawns start from the soil up, Giroud includes a Comprehensive Soil Analysis with our Organic Lawn Service Program to ensure the best possible, chemical-free lawn.  No herbicides, fungicides, or synthetic pesticides are utilized in our 100% Organic Lawn Care Program.

Your Organic Lawn Care Program Includes:

  • Initial evaluation of your lawn and its needs by your Giroud Representative.
  • Regular visits by a PA Certified Applicator to regularly monitor lawn health; test pH levels; and, customize treatments and timing based on your lawn’s unique needs.
  • Written report after each visit.
  • Annual pH test to monitor your soil’s acidity and alkalinity balance.
  • Comprehensive Soil Analysis (CSA): A biannual lab soil test to identify soil problems and actions required. Based on the lab results, we customize your treatments to address your lawn’s needs.
  • Organic Soil Conditioners:  Materials such as compost, minerals and humates are added as needed to enhance the soil.
  • Unlimited free service calls between scheduled visits to address any problems or concerns.

Optional Organic Lawn Services:

Optional lawn repair and restoration measures may be recommended in addition to your Organic Annual Lawn Program to keep your lawn in the best condition that organic treatments can provide. These services include:

  1. Crabgrass Suppression: Treat crabgrass before it emerges with Giroud’s corn gluten.

  2. Organic Grub Control: Apply Beneficial Nematodes or Milky Spore Bacteria

  3. Weed Control: Special application of organic weed and grass control in garden beds.

  4. Tick Control: Giroud uses a combination of 100% organic insecticide plus perimeter clean up of overgrown areas and pruning to let in more sunlight on shady tick habitats.
    Please note: The effectiveness of the above organic controls is more limited than chemical-based treatments.

  5. Core Aeration: Aeration helps relieve soil compaction, allowing more air, water and nutrients to reach the root zone.  It also promotes thatch decomposition and stimulates root development for a healthier, thicker lawn.

  6. Organic Top Dressing: To improve soil structure and quality, organic material should be applied to your lawn. This service is best done in conjunction with Core Aeration.

  7. Seeding: As part of organic lawn management, we can introduce new, more disease and insect resistant varieties of grass into your lawn.

  8. Lime: When lawn acidity is too high, lime may be recommended at rates specified in the CSA.

  9. De-Thatching: If we determine that you have a thatch problem, we will recommend removing excess thatch with a special machine to allow more air, water and nutrients to reach the root zone.  

  10. Rototilling:  Healthy plants start with healthy soil! Rototilling relieves compaction, improves moisture holding capacity, prepares gardens for planting and creates new seed beds for lawn renovations.

  11. Lawn Renovation: For new construction or lawns in extremely poor condition, a more intensive approach is required.  Our free initial lawn evaluation and ongoing monitoring will determine the combination of our optional services to build a healthy lawn.
