In 2027, Soils Alive will celebrate 30 years of DFW organic lawn care. In our next 30 years, we hope to continue helping homeowners create beautiful lawns, with fewer chemicals. We also hope to leave behind thousands of gardens. We hope to inspire people to build spaces where children can reconnect with nature. Spaces that offer new habitat for the Monarch butterfly, birds, and other wildlife.

When you plant a garden, it’s because you believe in tomorrow (to borrow from Audrey Hepbern). Our children are our hope in the future. And children need nature. Today’s child spends up to 44 hours a week in front of a screen, and less than 10 minutes a day playing outdoors (Children & Nature Network). Richard Louv describes Nature-Deficit Disorder in his book, Last Child in the Woods. He describes how Nature-Deficit Disorder affects children by contributing to “a diminished use of the senses, attention difficulties, conditions of obesity, and higher rates of emotional and physical illnesses.” We believe every child in DFW needs a space to call their own…. whether it’s at their home, at their school, or at a city park.
