  • I haven't used this company, nor have I investitaged their level of "green-ness", so I can't give a personal recommendation, but Hortilawn has handed out fliers in my neighborhood.  They profess to be 'green" and "eco-friendly". I'm not sure what's in their "organic" weed control mixtures... They do claim to be phosphorus-free, and that's good.

    They did do a free estimate for me a few years back, and they were very prompt about that, but... that's the extent of my interaction with them.  Might be worth checking out at least:

  • I use Hortilawn and love them.  I'm renewing them this week for this coming summer.  We've used them one summer so far.
  • http://www.organicbob.com/  We don't use him for lawn care because he doesn't service our area but we would if he did.  We went to a couple of his classes and had him come out and give us an assessment a couple summers ago.  We've been following his recommendations for what he does for lawns and have been really happy.  The compost tea kicks butt.

    I found his website in a google search yesterday before I posted on here - I was a little nervous only because the site looked good but hadn't been updated in a few years. Good to know that you were impressed by him.

    Yeah, I know what you mean about outdated websites.  My impression of him is that he's not all that technology minded so I wouldn't let that be an issue.

    We took his class through Anoka County Community Ed and another one through the Natural Built Home Store.  I'm pretty sure I remember seeing his class at Mother Earth Gardens or Mississippi Market last summer.  Even if you end up with another company, his classes are really interesting and informative.
