A lawn adds to the charm of any property it beholds. However, behind the beauty lies the undisputed challenge of maintaining the ecosystem. Color and class cannot be a reason acceptable for the destruction it can bring about to the atmosphere, however, doing it an eco-friendly way is possible. It might not be the easiest way but it is the safest.

Tips to care the lawn are:

Replacing the pesticides with biopesticides
Insects are a menace not only to plants and trees but to humans as well. Pesticides have been used for ages to control the insects affecting the grass, however, it has its side effects on humans. Exposure to various pesticides can be allergic to the human body, makes it susceptible to deadlier diseases like cancer, and can be fatal at times. Biopesticides can be a better alternative, as they are manufactured using natural elements and have no adverse effect on human or their pets. They work by attracting insects by their aroma or spread micro-organisms to kill them. Fortunately, the effects do not work on humans.

Investing in rainwater harvesting
A lawn needs an ample amount of water to stay green and healthy. Watering the grass can be tedious amid the daily chores of work and needs dedicated time almost every day, while setting up an automatic system like sprinkler might bite your pockets and is not a solution for all.

The amount of water used by people to water their lawn spends much of the freshwater resources as a waste. Eventually, all this water ends up reaching the lakes and seas. Harvesting the rainwater and setting up a system to use them can be a useful technique and could save perks on the water bills in most places.

Eco-friendly equipment for the lawn
The electrical lawn is slowly being the next big thing in lawn equipment. Environmental enthusiasts are realizing how tools like trimmers, blowers, and lawnmowers are creating havoc in the atmosphere. There are tools that use batteries and could be helpful if the lawn isn’t a huge one to mow, however, an electric lawn will do the honors anywhere and everywhere. With gas bills ever-fluctuating like a pendulum, electricity might just do the trick and it doesn’t the air.

Removal of pet waste
Having a pet at home might be the best way to build a family but allowing the pet to poop and leaving the poop to dry off might not be good to the lawn. A pet’s waste is a component of all the chemicals, preservatives and bacteria it feeds on and leaving them on the grass can damage and impact the environment negatively.

Finding alternatives for the lawn
Maintaining a lawn is an expensive proposition for many. There are alternatives such as hardscaping with rocks building patios, fences, and ornaments used in a lawn. It can be quite creative and adding different couture to the house. These types of setups don’t require maintenance and can decorate the place for ages.

Ask the expert
Checking with local people who know much about gardening and maintaining the lawns is an important step to making life easier. The knowledge of knowing which types of grass and plants suits the area and the season effect can be vital information to plan the maintenance especially if someone has just relocated to the locality.
