Q&A
What does it mean that Lincoln Landscaping is NOFA Certified Organic, and how does it benefit my Franklin Lakes property?
As a NOFA Certified Organic company, we adhere to strict standards that prohibit synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. For your Franklin Lakes home, this means a safer environment for children, pets, and local wildlife. Our organic programs build healthier soil, which leads to more resilient lawns and gardens that can better withstand local weather stresses. We focus on long-term soil health and plant vitality, often at a cost comparable to traditional chemical programs.
My sprinkler system has coverage gaps and my lawn is uneven. Can you help with both irrigation and regrading?
Absolutely. We commonly address these related issues for Franklin Lakes properties. Our team can first assess and correct your lawn's grade through careful earthmoving to ensure proper drainage and a level surface. Then, our irrigation design and construction specialists will repair or redesign your system to provide uniform, efficient water coverage, eliminating dry spots and conserving water—a key part of our sustainable approach.
Do you offer organic care for trees and shrubs, including dealing with pests and diseases common in our area?
Yes, comprehensive organic shrub and tree care is a core service. We provide planting, pruning, and transplanting, along with dedicated organic management for insects and diseases. Instead of harsh chemicals, we use preventative health strategies and approved organic treatments to strengthen your plants' natural defenses against local pests and fungal issues, promoting a balanced ecosystem in your yard.
