Healthy public park turf

Meet the mandate. Cut the runoff. Keep the fields safe.

Organic turf the public can use the same day — no re-entry wait, nothing that can burn, and a published 250-species profile your procurement committee can actually read.

Public ground, public scrutiny

Mandates above you, waterways downstream, and kids on the field tomorrow morning.

Organic ordinances, nutrient-runoff rules, and parents who want to know what's on the grass their kids play on — all on a public budget.

Organic mandatesOrdinances increasingly restrict synthetic fertilizer on public land.
Nitrogen runoffSynthetic N loads drive runoff into local waterways — and regulation.
Public safety & opticsRe-entry warnings and chemical labels on fields kids use are a hard sell.
Biological turf program applied on a public fieldApplied the same way — but the public is back on the field right away.
The public-grounds program

Compliant, safe, and defensible on paper.

A program built for the realities of public turf — and for the committee that has to approve it.

  • Meets organic mandates. 100% organic and bio-based — fits restrictions on synthetic fertilizer.
  • Cuts nitrogen runoff. Nitrogen-fixing microbes reduce the synthetic N load that drives runoff into waterways.
  • Same-day safe. No re-entry wait; kid-, pet- and pollinator-safe. Can't burn the field.
  • Procurement-ready. A published 250-species lab profile and white papers to put in front of a board.

What public turf managers ask first

Straight answers.

Does it satisfy organic-only ordinances? +

It's 100% organic and bio-based, with a published profile of exactly what's in it — built to fit restrictions on synthetic fertilizer on public land. Share the profile with your compliance team to confirm against your specific ordinance.

How does it reduce nitrogen runoff? +

Nitrogen-fixing microbes pull nitrogen from the air into plant-available form, reducing the synthetic nitrogen you apply — and the runoff load that comes with it. Our runoff white paper covers the approach.

Is it safe for fields kids and pets use? +

Yes — kid-, pet- and pollinator-safe, with no 24-hour re-entry interval, and it can't burn. The public can use the field the same day.

Can we transition without losing turf quality mid-season? +

Yes — the program is built to transition properties off synthetics without a quality dip. We'll map a phased plan to your sites.
