Royal Lawns Of America Provides Environmentally Sound Services
R
lems with methods that are environmentally friendly. “I’m as close to organic as I can be,” said Miller. Among the services are aeration, seeding, fertilizing, weed control, insect control, liming, fungus control, and integrated pest management (IPM). Aeration keeps lawns healthy; should be aerated at least twice a year. The Royal Lawns aeration techniques allow air, light, water, and nutrients to penetrate the lawn, promoting root growth and helping to decompose organically and excessive thatch layer more rapidly.
oyal Lawns of America, Inc. has been in business for more than 40 years and is now in its second generation. Michael Miller took over the Wayne-based business from his father and has continued to provide the community with the same fine services that are in tune with the environment. The owner-operated owner-on-site business offers customers the benefit of paying one price for the whole year, and there are no special contracts. “My work speaks for itself,” said Miller.

vice to the next, and there is no surge growth or burning – just steady greening and a thicker, more beautiful lawn. Liming is an application that increases the granulation of soil, improving its physical structure and air-towater ratios, helping lawns tolerate drought conditions. Liming increases the availability of many plant nutrients, which makes fertilizers more effective and helps to reduce weeds by creating conditions more favorable to grass growth. Fungus control is also important. Since fungus problems are derived mostly from weather conditions, maintaining a strong lawn throughout treatment, wa-
tering, and proper mowing makes the lawn more naturally resistant to fungus problems. In appropriate conditions, fungicides may be used to help reduce damage caused by cell deterioration from fungus. IPM: the most serious threats to a beautiful lawn are weeds, disease, and insects. Because of the variety and the diversity of appropriate treatments, they are most difficult to control. Royal Lawns pro-
vides expert weed and pest controls, using only Environment Protection Agency approved materials that are scientifically tested to be effective. Being concerned with the environment, Royal Lawns uses only minimal amounts where needed to maintain control.

Re-Seeding is recommended for areas of the lawn that have been damaged or neglected. “We use quality disease-resistant blends of bluegrass, fescue, and rye grasses especially selected for your lawn’s environment, improving the appearance and density of your turf. This, in turn, helps inhibit weed growth,” said Miller. Fertilizer that is granular brings on a thriving lawn that requires properly timed applications of complete, balanced, and slow-release fertilizers to replace essential nutrients taken from the soil. The fertilizers used by Royal Lawns are designed to feed lawns from one ser-
