Clean Nova Scotia is carrying out a limited number of free on-site assessments this summer to help educate homeowners on sustainable lawn care principles! It consists of a visit to your home, an analysis of current yard maintenance practices, and practical demonstrations of the tools and cultural practices needed to create a healthy, pest-free lawn. Homeowners are then provided with a detailed information package with recommendations on water usage, aeration, and natural pest control tailored to their property and its unique site conditions.
Space is limited! Call 420-6593 or email pesticides09@clean.ns.ca to book your free on-site assessment today!
