Organic Lawn Care
We handle all of the traditional services such as weekly mowing and trimming, organic weed, disease, insect, and pest control. However, we do it according to your expectations and your lawns needs. Including prevention programs, top dressing, over-seeding, organic fertilizing, liming, and spring and fall thatching and aeration based on soil tests. Dutra Designs uses the most ethical, low environmental impact, progressive methods. After converting to organics for 3 years our lawns are not only greener, but they save you money by using less irrigation, fertilizers, and time. They also have fewer environmental issues, weeds, and demands. We consider ourselves stewards of the environment and also stand by the methods taught and set forth in Article 68 of The BMP (Best Management Practices) for Nantucket to help preserve our watersheds, drinking water and your land. Other Training includes NOFA Organic Land Care Accreditation and continuing education through various outlets including under Chip Osborn, the father of organic lawns.
Organic Garden Care & Maintenance
We create a personalized and educated approach plan for your gardens and landscape. We implement proper plant placement, staking, pruning, and soil needs. Organic gardening is fairly simple and we use the same methods our ancestors did *with up to date scientifically based information. Our gardens are beautiful, healthy, and a gorgeous example of how nature works. Proper soil, light, and air, along with well trained gardeners go a very long way to maintain a wonderful garden. We do have some of the same problems as “traditional” gardens like deer and rabbits, but we do our due diligence in that department. We are a company that truly does individualize our care depending on your expectations. We use non-synthetic organic fertilizers and natural methods of pest control and fertilizing based on your gardens needs. Our combined gardening training goes beyond years of experience with NOFA Organic Land Care Accreditation, Permaculture Design Certification, Massachusetts Certified Horticulturist and AutoCAD training.
