Meet our Experts and learn more about our editorial process.
Here at Lawn Chick, we are committed to publishing accurate, useful, and trustworthy articles that our readers can rely on for the very best advice. We understand that when searching online for answers to lawn care and landscaping questions, it’s important you find sources that have the expertise and knowledge needed to deliver the goods.
We are committed to being one of those trusted sources of information.
That’s why we’ve published a detailed editorial policy, and have created an expert panel made up of credentialed horticulturists.
This impartial review board brings both
to Lawn Chick.
Our Managing Editor and Senior Editor work to ensure every article we publish is clear, accurate, and easy to read and understand, and our experts review every single article we publish for factual inaccuracies or any sign of confusing or misleading information.
We’re proud to say that as of March 2024, 100% of our published articles have been validated as accurate by our experts.
Lawn Chick’s Expert Panel is made up of degreed horticultural experts that come to us from different areas of the country, and with varied backgrounds which complement one another.
Each member of our panel has been hand-picked by Lawn Chick founder Sarah Jameson and our managing editor based on their credentials, experience, and extensive gardening and horticultural knowledge (both hands-on, earned expertise and academic training – we value both).
