Miller’s Landscaping, just over the New Canaan line in Scott’s Corners, provides all sorts of lawn, gardening and landscaping in the New Canaan area.
Mark Miller, who for the past 38 years has owned Miller’s Landscaping Inc., located just over the New Canaan line, has launched a new lawn care treatment company called The Organic Yard.
Miller is excited to talk about organics and his new programs: His major points of difference from the big commercial companies are organics and personalized, knowledgeable service, he said.
“We use organic-based products as much as possible, reducing the need for pesticides by as much as 90%,” Miller said.

“We use organic-based products as much as possible, reducing the need for pesticides by as much as 90%,” Mark Miller of Miller’s Landscaping in Pound Ridge said.
At times there is a need to use pesticides, so Miller’s uses the safest and least amount possible when doing so. “Our common sense approach of combining safer products and cultural practices, such as increasing mowing heights, fewer mowings during drought periods, longer and less frequent watering practices, aerating and leaving lawn clippings are critical to success and often times overlooked,” he said.
“Crabgrass control has been difficult to manage with only organics,” Miller said. “So we have changed our approach, spot treat where crabgrass is prevalent and avoid shaded areas where crabgrass does not thrive. Just that simple change can reduce the use of conventional products significantly based on the percentage of shade on your property.”

With synthetics, you get a large burst of growth that’s green — but you’ve stressed the grass so much that it becomes weak and susceptible to disease, according to Mark Miller.
The Organic Yard features compost teas as its organic choice. It’s a bio-nutritional treatment that adds vital beneficial bacteria, enhancing microbial activity in the soil.
The compost teas are completely natural and safe. “By using our product you are reducing the amount of nitrates and phosphates that promote algae and plankton in our water sources,” Miller said. “Last year alone we were able to reduce conventional fungicide treatments by up to 80%!”
Years ago, landscapers were taught to feed the grass, strengthen the roots. New wisdom is to do just the opposite: strengthen the roots and the plant will thrive. “You’re working from the soil up, improving its structure and creating a more readily available food supply to the plant,” he said.

Miller said that those who work with their team can create a greener and healthier environment one lawn at a time.
With synthetics, you get a large burst of growth that’s green — but you’ve stressed the grass so much that it becomes weak and susceptible to disease, and has a harder time recovering from drought and insect invasion, Miller said.
The correlation is simple — it’s the same as people. “We overuse antibiotics, deplete our immune systems and the cycle begins,” Miller pointed out. “It’s simply old school methodology, and it’s time to get off that treadmill.”

“Help us help the planet,” he said. “Go Green! With The Organic Yard.”
