Stop the waste!
University studies have shown that the average California lawn generates 300 to 400 pounds of grass clippings per 1000 square feet annually. This can be as much as eight tons per acre each year!

Significant quantities of water, fertilizer, and labor go into producing all those clippings, and it is a shame to see that all go to waste if the clippings are thrown away.

By practicing responsible turf management, including "grasscycling," a landscaper can both reduce those inputs, and at the same time eliminate the waste.

In this section you will find information about responsible lawn care, or "turf management."
