FREE GreenYards Sustainable Lawn Assessment
As we have since 2007, Clean Nova Scotia will be carrying out a limited number of FREE on-site assessments this summer to help educate homeowners on sustainable lawn care principles! The program consists of a visit to your home, an analysis of current yard maintenance practices, and practical demonstrations of the tools and practices needed to create a healthy, pest-free lawn. Homeowners are provided with a detailed information package with recommendations on water usage, aeration, and natural pest control tailored to their property and its unique site conditions.
