Organic Landscaping Methods

The Village of Scarsdale is committed to the use of organic methods in our landscaping programs.  A key strategy is the use of organic seeds and fertilizer to both strengthen the soil and enhance the health of the turf grass which is more resilient to weed growth. An organic approach to pest management is also deployed as evidenced at Winston Field to combat a recent grub problem which was damaging the turf. An application of beneficial nematodes, an organic microorganism which feeds on white grubs, was made. Beneficial nematodes are used to control soil pest insects and whenever larvae or grubs are present.  The application will be monitored for its success through Fall 2019.
