Local Lawn Care Achieves International 'Ecology Award'

December 1, 2004: The Greater Victoria Area Franchise of Nutri-Lawn Ecology Friendly Lawn Care took home the international Ecology Award for a second time at the 2004 Annual Meeting.

This singular award is for the top operation, amongst those across Canada and the United States, which seeks out and introduces new products and services to benefit our ecology. In addition, it recognizes public work to educate consumers on correct cultural lawn care practices and how to reduce the dependency on cosmetic pesticides, while still creating thick, lush and healthy lawns.

The 15-year-old Victoria Nutri-Lawn has been cited for its leadership role in unique alternate lawn care products such as; Sea Kelp for turf drought and heat stress relief, Water Assist a 100% Natural surfactant for increasing water permeability and uptake by plants, Water Saver a natural mineral for soil retention of valuable moisture, Beneficial Nematodes for organic grub control, and weed seed free Top-Dressing which adds microbial activity to the soil, breaks down thatch and assists turf’s nutrient up-take. All of these unique products, if used regularly for lawn care, will significantly help to create a healthy lawn that works in harmony with nature, thus benefiting our ecology.

When the president of Nutri-Lawn Inc. was asked about how it came to be that Victoria’s Nutri-Lawn would receive the “Ecology Award” he said “With all of the new organic and natural products and services researched and tested they were an obvious candidate for this prestigious award. It’s franchisees like this that make this a rewarding lawn care franchise system, and it’s why we have been so successful.” The franchisee's response to the award was simply put. “I am just doing the job my clients want by providing results with the latest and greatest products available. It’s much easier to work with nature than against it.”

Congratulations Nutri-Lawn Victoria for a job well done and for the respect you show our environment and your efforts for being ecology friendly.
