I am an Accredited Organic Land Care Professional (AOLCP), and I follow the NOFA Organic Land Care Standards.
The best way to understand what Norris Organics can do for you is to schedule a consultation and site review. Organic landscaping is not about one-size-fits-all solutions. What are your expectations? How do you want to use your land? How close are you to the water? What is the condition of your soil? How much light is getting through? These questions and more will determine exactly what organic landscaping will look like for you.
Turf Management
Creating a beautiful organic lawn is a process, and it starts with healthy soil and proper maintenance. We use laboratory analysis to assess soil composition and deficiencies and create a solid foundation on which healthy turf can live. Creating targeted treatments, a customized maintenance plan and performing properly timed aeration and with the correct seed blends will create the look you want without the use of toxic chemicals that damage our health, water ways and local wild life.
Dynamic Solutions
Organic landscapes often embrace a variety of solutions to create dynamic zones that take advantage of the natural tendencies of the land. Meadows, moss-scapes, sand dunes, and wetlands are a few examples. You may think that these areas are best left alone, but they actually need care too if they are going reach their full aesthetic and ecological potential. This is especially true with regards to the many invasive species here on Long Island that take hold and quickly destroy native ecosystems when left unchecked.
Fertilization
Conventional lawn fertilizers dose your land with man-made nitrogen, carcinogens, and endocrine disruptors, and the excess washes through your dirt into the surrounding bodies of water - including the drinking water. We use organic species-specific formulas and timing to create targeted fertilization plans that help your turf, plants and trees grow stronger and better resist common disease.
PLanting
Whether you are looking to install all new perennial beds, replace specific plants that are not thriving, or move established plants to a better area, Norris Organics will apply the same individualized approach we take to everything else. We can help with plant selection, proper placement and targeted organic treatments to prevent pests and disease from taking hold and ensure that all plants, trees and shrubs reach their fullest potential. In addition, we also ensure that your irrigation is properly dispersing water, and create a schedule of pruning and cutting that will ensure optimal growth and bloom cycles. We also provide specialized care and design for potted plantings!
Winter Work
Even if you are not here in the winter months, your landscape still needs care. Snow, storms, cold dry air and wildlife can do permanent damage to plants and shrubs if they are not tended to. We can care for your landscape with protective wraps and scheduled property checks to stay ahead of costly potential problems. You can also schedule indoor potted plant maintenance for when you are away. Contact us for more information on winter services.
