Black Magic™ premium Top Dressing enhances the soil. Result: Thicker, greener, healthier lawn.

Maintaining a beautiful lawn without pesticides is a challenge. A challenge that had not been adequately met until Black Magic™. You cannot build a healthy weed-free lawn on a nutrient depleted soil base. Nor can pesticide-free lawn care eliminate weeds, insects, grubs, or other pests that have already invaded your lawn. If you long for a healthy, natural lawn you need to begin with a good growing environment. Tender Shoots' Black Magic™ is the ideal first step.

With natural nurturing, professional horticultural techniques and a little help from you and Mother Nature you can have a pesticide-free naturally healthy lawn.

The secret is in the recipe and in our process

We start with pure, natural sphagnum peat moss and the rest of it . . . . Well, it's magic


 The lawn care world is awash with new products purporting to eliminate any need for conventional control of lawn & garden pests. Most of these claims are dubious at best. But occasionally, one comes along that truly helps.
 Black Magic™ is one such innovation.

The Recipe:

  • Premium Grass Seed (Optional)-- guaranteed 100% weed free -- a blend of 3 certified culivars
  • Sphagnum Peat Moss -- Natural, organic, water-holding and aeration properties. And it's weed-free!
  • Specially-blended fertilizer to take advantage of the benefits of our "magic" ingredients
  • 2 special "Magic" ingredients
    • Root stimulant -- so effective that existing grasses green up within a day or so
    • Natural Inoculants:
      • Increase the rate of turfgrass establishment
      • Improve rooting
      • Increases drought tolerance
      • Optimize fertilizer assimilation

And it negates the need for phosphorous fertilizers.

Why Peat Moss?                                           BM w Myke

  • One of the best soil-enhancers known to man

  • Unlike topsoil, does not introduce new weeds and wild grass seeds

  • Unlike other enhancers, does not encourage insect larvae

  • It is a pure, clean, all natural, nutrient-rich "diamond in the rough"

  • No bacteria concerns such as with manure of sewage derivatives

  • Provides the grass seed with its own perfect environment

  • Odourless and sanitary

What can I expect after my lawn has been treated?

Every lawn is different. Although every lawn will benefit, the more sparse or tired your lawn is, the more obvious the results. A lawn that is already truly healthy, dark green and luxurious will not show as dramatic an improvement but will stay healthier and richer longer. The anemic-looking lawn, that is, one showing poor colouring and /or with sparse areas will show very noticeable results. Existing grasses will, within just a day or so, turn a darker green, while those sparse areas, in only about a week to 10 days, will fill in with new luxuriant grass.

Every lawn will benefit:

  • A severely damaged lawn will fill in
  • A normal healthy lawn will be made darker green
  • A lush, dark green lawn will stay that way longer
  • Weeds will have less space in which to establish themselves
  • With more and healthier grass plants, an infestation by surface insects, grubs, or even fungus, will be much less damaging and, in fact, may need no treatment at all.

Affordable cost - Better results for much less

Let's take a 4,000 sq. ft. lawn.
Now, let's compare.
  • As advertised on television by our competition and from their web sites as at November 11, 2008
    1. Their lowest-cost package: $695.00 (up to $1,295.00)
    2. $19.95 for 100 sq. ft. = 798.00 -- and you do it yourself.
  • Do It Yourself top dressing:
    1. Grass seed: $290.00
    2. Top soil (or compost): $100.00 (depending on thickness applied)
    3. Labour: $100.00 (At the very least)
    4. Total: $490.00

Or, let's compare with Nutri-Lawn's offering.    Their promotional flyer quotes $319.00 to apply their top dressing to a 2,500 sq. ft. lawn.   s of course it would be much more for a lawn of 4,000 sq. ft.     Their product is nothing more than plain old compost in pelletized form so you don't get any of the other benefits that come with Black Magic™.     And you need to provide your own grass seed (or pay extra)

Now compare Black Magic™.   A far-superior product for . . .$219.10  --or even less if you prepay.
