“As the years have passed for me in this industry, there has been a steadily increasing demand from professionals and homeowners to understand soil fertility. I have always taught a ‘soil up’ approach and watching this go from a small cross-section of people to a vast audience has been astounding,” said John Perry, CEO/Founder. “My goal is to continue to provide free practical education resources on all aspects of the LCO operation. Carbon plays a key role in the life cycle of the lawn eco-system. From soil and plant science, insect, weed, and disease control to managing plant nutrients, carbon is the keystone, the catalyst and the keeper of the keys to sustainable fertility. It is my personal pleasure to be an industry voice for education, understanding, and innovation through new products and techniques that ultimately improve lawns and landscapes, the environment, and the lawn care industry.”

ABOUT LAWNCOLOGY®

Lawncology® is a method of both diagnosing common problems and understanding common practices in lawn care. These methods convert over into all professional plant care methods including row crop agriculture, arbor care, food production and ornamental plant care.

Lawncology® methods have been developed over years in the industry by constantly searching and discovering common threads that link human intervention or “over care” and soil and plant diseases that frequently plague our profession. These methods are in no way criticism of the way professionals have cared for their soil, plants and clients, but rather a new learning that will allow for some antiquated techniques to finally be left behind. Lawncology® looks at our plants and soils, weeds and pests,  as a cohesive unit rather than separate areas of study. This polarity of the “health vs disease” mentality begins to melt into a singular understanding of one not existing without the other.

Please join our growing Lawncology® community of green industry professionals who are changing the industry with these new tools. Contact us for more information about technician and management training within your company; on site trainings and workshops are available.
