Dig up a section of soil 12 inches by 12 inches and 6-7 inches deep. Spread your soil sample on a tarp and count the worms. A healthy population has 10 or more worms.
The Benefits of Worms

- Eat their body weight in the soil every day
- Recycle nutrients back to the soil
- Deposit 8 times more nutrients than they eat
- Natural Sources in a soluble form ready for plants to eat
- Nitrogen
- Phosphorus
- Potassium
- Calcium

The Benefits of Green Landscaping
“Gas-powered lawn care contributes to as much as 5% of the national total air pollutions. In addition, some 17 million gallons of gasoline are incidentally spilled while refueling gas-powered equipment; the equivalent of one large oil spill each year. – Consumer Reports”
A healthy lawn produces enough oxygen on its own to meet the needs of a family of four. This is neutralized when gas-powered equipment is used to maintain the turf as needed. A single riding lawn mower running for 1 hour produces the same smog promoting pollution as 8 cars running for the same period.
The Business of Worms
At Arlington Green Mowers we take a long-term, sustainable approach to lawn care. We correct underlying issues affecting your lawn’s health and ability to sustain its own needs. We use specific practices that encourage healthy grass able to fight off diseases, pests, and weeds while minimizing the use of chemicals. We believe in the natural and organic methods of cultivation for green spaces.
We use the best in the industry, all battery-operated equipment. The improvement to your environment is easy to notice in the lack of noise while we perform your zero-emission lawn services. Gas Powered Lawnmowers rate at 90 decibels; hearing loss occurs around 80 decibels. Our electric mower produces about 65 decibels of sound, and normal conversation occurs around 60 decibels. Our equipment causes the least amount of disruption in the industry for residents.
