Reduce Your Water Bills
Native plants don't need extra water. They thrive in DFW's hot, dry conditions. You'll save money on about ~10,000 gallons of water each year (compared to lawn) with a native plant garden (1000 square feet). Bring hummingbirds and butterflies to your home. Add full-season blooms and boost your home's curb appeal as watering restrictions continue to impact lawns across DFW.
Healthy Soil = Healthy Plants
Farmers Branch homes and lawns are part of the ecosystem known as the Blackland Prairie, which has native soil that's heavy black clay that shrinks and swells. When it rains in DFW.....it pours! Did you know clay soil with few earthworms and heavily compacted only absorbs 1/10th of an inch of rain each hour. You can be losing up to 80% of the free water that falls from the sky. Our ecofriendly service begins by naturally loosening up your soil biologically with Liquid Compost, to put life back into the soil and help grass, shrub, and tree roots thrive. With healthier soil, plant roots can access more moisture, resulting in lush, green growth.
Preventing Fungal Diseases
Lots of DFW lawns struggle with fungal diseases, especially St. Augustine and Zoysia in shade. Humidity and lack of sunlight = a perfect environment for fungal spores to spread. We help prevent fungal problems by only applying the appropriate spring fertilizer needed to "wake up" your lawn, while not overdoing it (which causes thatch build up, and fungal problems). We keep an eye on the lawn, and when we spot a concern, we provide treatment at no extra cost.
Farmers Branch Wildlife
Our goal is to get your soil healthy again, soaking up free rain water, cycling nutrients properly, and inviting local wildlife to visit, like the Ruby-Throated Hummingbird. Farmers Branch has a lot of wildlife to explore with many parks in addition to the John F. Burke Nature Preserve. We want to bring a bit of that Nature Preserve beauty to your landscape. Our natural Liquid Compost applications create a living soil environment where earthworms and other beneficial organisms can flourish, helping grass roots grow deep and look great even during drought conditions.

Protecting North Texas Wildlife
Start your ecofriendly lawn care today. No annual contract required. We earn your business each and every day, not just when you sign up. We're proud to help our homeowners protect all of the beautiful wildlife here in North Texas. You can reduce your water bill by planting drought-tolerant native plants.

Since 1997 our team at Soils Alive has helped DFW homeowners use fewer chemicals and create healthier landscapes.
