Removing phosphorus from all our lawn fertilizer
products in 2012.
 Reformulating our lawn fertilizer products to include
more slow-release nitrogen allowing grass to gradually
uptake the nutrient over a longer period of time and
prevent the nutrient from seeping through the soil and
into groundwater.
 Innovating lawn food applicators that better ensure the
product is placed where it’s needed and away from where
it could wash off into waterways.
 Partnering with organizations across the country to
improve water quality and be more efficient when
managing outdoor landscapes: See our map here.
Healthy lawns and landscapes bring an abundance of benefits
to people, our communities and the environment. This spring
season, we want people to know that they have options: you
can still sustain lawns and gardens and use water in smart
and thoughtful ways.
