Hey Norton Shores! Without healthy soil, nothing grows well. So if you want a healthy lawn, we need to focus on your soil.

What does that mean for Norton Shores residents? Simply put: good soil has a balance of minerals (sand, clay, loam), organic matter (dead plants and living organisms), water and air. If any part is out of balance, your lawn suffers.

Our Good Sweet Earth organic fertilization program, tailored for each unique yard in Norton Shores, builds healthy soil for strong, vibrant turf.

When you sign up, we apply a Worm Compost + Kelp Tea (a drench made from vermicompost and soluble kelp) monthly during the growing season; for Norton Shores, and all of West Michigan, that’s May through October. It adds the microbes your soil needs to break down organic matter. Without them, soil gets compacted and sterile. Our Tea also provides micronutrients you won’t find in synthetic fertilizers.

With our monthly Tea applications, you also get our Alfalfa Blend Lawn Fertilizer for spring and fall feedings. It’s made from just three ingredients: alfalfa meal, dried distillers grains and kelp. The pellets feed soil microbes and release nutrients slowly and safely as they break down. We’ve been perfecting this mix since 2012, and we’re the only organic lawn company in the Norton Shores area making our own natural fertilizer.

What about weeds? There’s no quick organic fix, but weeds grow in empty spaces—sometimes tiny ones. Our program helps fill those gaps with grass.

But some biodiversity in your Norton Shores lawn is actually healthy. We won’t promise a weed-free lawn, because that's just an unnatural goal, but we’ll build a thriving one.

Interested? Fill out the form and we’ll be in touch. If you’re in Norton Shores, MI, or anywhere else in West Michigan (Kent, Ottawa, Muskegon or Allegan Counties), we’d love to work with you this year.
