Clean Green Turf Lawn

Pets are family too

“I’d love to have a really nice garden but I have pets and I’m always worried that fertilising my lawn and my plants could hurt my animals”

This is one of the most common statements that people make when it comes to selecting lawn maintenance products and lawn varieties according to Erin Quinlan General Manager of Queensland based producers Australian Lawn Concepts (ALC).

“What started off five years ago as the occasional enquiry has turned into one of the most common questions we get from clients looking to balance a healthy garden with safety and peace of mind for their pets”.

Stories abound of dog and cat lovers who have tried to balance both garden and pet only to be confused with what may harm their beloved pets, so they do nothing.

The gradual increase in enquiry, together with a long standing love of the family pet and the traditional family playground prompted business owner, and chief agronomist for ALC, John Keleher to set out in search of a cleaner more pet friendly way to produce turf.

The task not only to produce a more environmentally friendly turf, but also to develop a system that would allow his clients to effectively transfer the “Clean Green Growing Program” from the farm to their home.

“What started out as a simple quest to reduce our chemical use on-farm and reduce our environmental footprint has turned out to be an absolute winner both for the farm and our soil but more importantly for our clients who are the real winners in this”.

The “Clean Green Growth Management Program” from ALC allows not only new turf owners but also existing turf owners and gardeners in general to feed their yard and their plants on a regular basis without concern for their animals or the environment.

The program consists of 4 all-natural elements which when used in unison provides a strong growing matrix for the plant or garden plus a constant supply of chemical free nutrients.

“The program produces perfect results on the farm so being able to recreate the farm growing conditions at the client’s home has made establishment, maintenance and up-keep both safe and easy for our clients who are pet lovers” says Peter De Pasquale, Customer Service manager for ALC.

“I’m a pet owner myself and use the program at home in my garden so I love the peace of mind that the program brings – but the real winner has been in finally being able to help our clients who want both a beautiful garden and a care free environment for their pets”.

ALC supply “Clean-Green” Turf in Zoysia, Sir Walter Buffalo, Wintergreen Couch and Oz Tuff Sports and their friendly team can advise you on not only the right type of clean green turf for you site but also how the “Clean Green Growth Management Program” can work at your home to deliver a healthy garden and a happy pet.
