Products & services offered at Eat My Shrubs have the main objective to make your property as beautiful as possible, while doing no harm to the environment or your family in the process. We use guidelines set out by the Canadian Society for Organic Urban Land Care (SOUL).
Harmful chemicals and loud machinery wreak havoc on our environment, and our state of mind, more than we really understand. When Eat My Shrubs looks after your property, we use methods and compounds that increase the biodiversity and encourage the natural processes of the soils and plants under our care. Among other practices, we use essential oils, and natural compounds, to combat unwanted pests and diseases, and encourage the collection and use of rainwater for irrigation.
We understand that everything is in the garden or lawn for a reason. It’s not just that the dandelions are there, but why? What can we do to discourage them from growing there in the future. Pulling unwanted plants over and over is not the answer in the long term. If the soil is right for the dandelion, but not for the grass seed, then the dandelion will win every time. Something more needs to be done. That’s where we come in. We are low-impact, earth friendly and organic and we do not use the harsh chemicals that (modern day) traditional property maintenance companies use.
