Healthy Lawn Care Program for Watershed Protection

The Healthy Lawn Care Program (HLCP) for Watershed Protection is an environmentally sound lawn care program that participating members of the Michigan Green Industry Association are offering.  HLCP partners include the Michigan Green Industry Association (MGIA), Southeastern Oakland County Water Authority (SOCWA), Wayne County Department of Environment and Water Resources Commissioner (WRC). The Healthy Lawn Care Program has been initiated to help service company’s comply with environmentally sensitive lawn care issues, such as, the over use of fertilizers, pesticides and runoff into storm drains, lakes and/or rivers.  

HLCP providers offer consumers additional lawn care options to protect the watershed. The key components of the program are: On-site consultations, soil nutrient testing, fertilizer options (including at least 50% slow-release fertilizer), fertilizer quantities of either two, three or four pounds of nitrogen applied over the growing season (depending on type of turf), low or NO-phosphorus options, advice to homeowners on proper maintenance and cultural practices, such as, mowing and watering. Pesticide options for insect and disease control may include programs such as:  no pesticide, spot-treatment for weeds or one-time "rescue operation" for weed control.  Please encourage your lawn care company to participate in the Healthy Lawn Program for Watershed Protection!
