One of the other biggie visitor type places in DC went to organic lawn care 
and their costs went from over $200,000 a year to something like $20,000. 
DH says you just have to be more vigilant for things like grubs and moths. 
Actually, he didn't say "more vigilant,"  it was more along the lines of 
paying attention and lazy arses <g>
