Green maintenance

The ecological maintenance method applies the teachings of regenerative agriculture which emulates nature, in lawns and ornamental plants making limited use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.

The ecological maintenance method takes a holistic approach to urban landscape and sports areas, because it ensures a healthier environment and promotes skilled local employment. The method involves appropriate mechanical operations, the optimization of mineral nutrients and biostimulants and, above all, the reduction of synthetic fertilizers and the elimination of herbicides and pesticides.

Balanced nutrition, aimed at soil biology

Dr. John Kempf has already demonstrated, over the last 12 years in the United States, that by treating plants with balanced nutrition and promoting soil biology it is possible to develop healthy urban ecosystems. The ecological nutrition method emulates nature and strengthens the immune defenses of plants to the point of making them resistant to diseases and insects. Within two years of installation, the method develops a circular ecosystem that requires fewer fertilizer inputs.

Healthy plants can become completely resistant to diseases and insects.

Cutting, raking, vertical cutting and scarifying

By mowing frequently on sunny days or by mulching up to 1/3 of the total height of the grass, leaving the clippings to settle on the lawn, almost 25% of the nutrients will return to the natural cycle, also reducing the need for irrigation. Using battery-powered lawnmowers reduces noise and pollution from petrol or diesel engines.

The mechanical spring rake (Turf Rake) is primarily designed to lift lateral growth, remove moss and dead material from grass, but it does much more. It can also be used to remove broken blades of grass after football matches and to remove footprints left by players on the pitch. It is proving to be one of the most popular operations among professional groundsmen.

Soil aeration

The cultivation of turf for sports use and playgrounds has as its main limitation intensive trampling because it compresses the porosity, limiting the exchange of gases between the soil and the air, thus altering the physical properties of the soil.

Aerating the first 4 cm of the surface or loosening the soil deeper down ensures the gas exchange (CO2 ⇄ O2) necessary for biological processes.

Well-aerated and draining soils offer a better habitat for microorganisms to proliferate and mineralize forms of nutrients inaccessible to plants, both those present in the soil and those supplied with fertilizers, avoiding any risk of leaching into groundwater.

A sustainable method with positive environmental impact

The principles of sustainability

Care with the ecological method attenuates the impact of construction by maintaining natural processes in balance with the biology of the soil and recycling most of the plant residues.

Ten reasons to use the ecological method can be summarized as follows:

  1. capture fine dust, thus purifying the air,
  2. sequester carbon from the air while emitting more oxygen,
  3. reduce the air temperature thanks to more efficient cooling,
  4. prevent soil corrosion with horizontal water washout,
  5. prevent pollution of underground aquifers by filtering rainwater
  6. reduce mosquitoes during the summer months,
  7. reduce the use of fertilizers and eliminate pesticides or herbicides
  8. reduce the overall cost for a healthier city life,
  9. improving the aesthetic appearance by influencing the mood and trust of citizens,
  10. educate citizens to respect greenery and public spaces.

Maintaining all green areas with regenerative agriculture is the only way to fight pollution in our cities. It is everyone's responsibility, and it pays off in health, offering a prestigious aesthetic appearance.

Offer your citizens healthy green areas to have fun and play, breathing fresh air following the holistic maintenance program with a positive environmental impact.
