Natural Alternative Natural Alternative® products work with nature, not against it—providing you with a healthier, greener and safer lawn and garden. 🌱

Offering natural and organic-based products is what we do – it’s all we do. We are not a chemical company with an organic division. We pioneered organic solutions before it was cool. We make products that are easy to use, and we want your decision to switch to our brand to be an easy choice. Natural Alternative provides a five-part lawn care system. Each application is specifically formulated for the seasonal needs of your lawn. It is possible to reduce the use of chemicals, see satisfying results, and feel good about feeding your lawn five times a year. Our lawn fertilizers are phosphorous-free to help reduce water pollution and to protect our drinking water. We have reduced the quantity of nitrogen in each application to reduce algae growth in bays and estuaries. Yet, we have not sacrificed performance and results. While reducing nitrogen and eliminating phosphorus, we have added over 60 strains of beneficial microbes to our fertilizers. These little powerhouses restore the soil’s health and grow strong root systems for better uptake of water and nutrients. Our garden fertilizers are All-Purpose blends designed to cut expense and deliver results. One product is versatile and works with vegetables, herbs, perennials, annuals and trees. Our blends are fortified with iron, sulfur, calcium and beneficial microbes to feed the soil as well as the plant. Purchasing live plants is an investment. Planting and transplanting them can cause stress and put them into plant shock. Depending upon the severity of the stress, the plant can be stunted or even die. Our Protilizer® Seed & Plant Activator reduces transplant shock, helps seeds germinate quickly and gets your investment off to a healthy start. Like our garden fertilizer, Protilizer® can be used on all plant types including bulbs, seeds, trees, shrubs and roses as well as vegetables and flowers. If you live in an area where snow and ice make walking treacherous, you undoubtedly use ice melt of some kind. Many of the snow regions are surrounded by water, creating concern for aquatic life when using rock salt. Natural Alternative® Ice Melt was formulated to be kind to fish, safer for pets’ paws and gentle on hardscapes, trees, shrubs and grass. We are listed with the Northwest Snow Fighters’ Association and the US Green Energy Council (LEED) for green building.
