Spring start-up
Wake Up Your Lawn from Hibernation
De-Thatching
Thatch is a layer of built up grass clippings, roots, shoots and other dead organic matter that accumulates between the top-growth layer of your Lawn and the soil surface. An excess amount of thatch can hinder the absorption of air, water, and nutrients and negatively affect the overall health of your Lawn. De-Thatching, or the removal of some of this excess buildup, in the spring is an important preventative-maintenance tactic, opening this thatch layer up for better water and fertilizer uptake, helping to promote new and healthy shoot growth for a healthier, dense Lawn.
Shrub Bed Clean-Up
Why does it always seem like the shrub beds are the debris collection sites over the winter months? Not just unsightly, an abundance of uncleaned debris can delay the start-up growth of your shrubs, and potentially lead to disease pressure. We will clear out the dead leaf-litter, debris and garbage that has revealed itself after the snow-melt, allowing for the best possible initial shrub growth while having your shrub beds looking like they were freshly installed!
Over-Seeding Your Lawn
Over-seeding is recommended when a normally healthy Lawn starts showing signs of thinning out (formation of brown or bare spots throughout the turf) - this is common following a harsh winter that resulted in ice-damage to your Lawn. Using our unique seed blend typically used on golf-courses in Alberta, we can over-seed to bring back those bare spots, or over your entire Lawn to achieve a more lush & thick appearance to help prevent weed-establishment.
Start-Up Lawn Fertility
Our spring fertilizer applications use the highest quality products offering the best nutrient-available formulations for your Lawn's "Spring Start-up". With this being your Lawn's first feeding coming out of winter, this fertilizer application focuses on deep root growth to stand up to drought and heat stress during the summer growing months, along with promoting top growth and plant reproduction while also helping to prevent weed-establishment.
Spring Weed Control
Truthfully, weeds can be extremely frustrating - you can do all the proper preventative maintenance and they still show up unannounced. Proper Lawn Care is the best weed control method - our weekly routine maintenance, higher spring-mowing heights, fertility, and watering plans are designed to naturally prevent weed-establishment on your Lawn. Unfortunately, we did just mention that weeds can be frustrating, and sometimes that's just not enough. In this case, we offer both Pre and Post-Emergent Broadleaf Weed Control Applications using products that are 100% safe for your Lawn, but 100% harmful to dandelions, clover, and more.
Our Guarantee: Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither will a weed-free Lawn be. Dependent on the severity of weed-takeover on your property, multiple Weed Control Applications may be needed. However, if you are unhappy with the results of our Weed Control Applications (based on determinations made during a Pre-Service Consultation) the next one is on us.
All products are applied in accordance to Alberta Environment legislation and PMRA regulations by a licensed applicator.
Irrigation System Start-Up
Do you have your own irrigation system? Let us "Turn the Taps Back On" while inspecting your system's controller, valves, connections (for leaks) and sprinklers to ensure it's operating at it's best, right from the start. We also offer custom watering programs to our clients designed to water your Lawn more efficiently whether you have above or below-ground watering systems.
Rainy-Day Policy
We live in an area of weather-extremes, where the daily forecast can change at any time. While we are equipped to work in any weather condition presented to us, the quality of your Lawn is always our top priority - this means that we may need to postpone or re-schedule our weekly services if our region receives more than 3 days of constant precipitation in order to maintain the integrity of our maintenance programs and the quality conditioning of your Lawn.
Communication is key - we will always contact you if a postponement or rescheduling is required due to adverse weather conditions.

Quality Routine Maintenance
Weekly Mowing
The most basic of services can be the most important. Not only does weekly mowing promote a healthy and dense shoot growth throughout the growing season, but maintaining a weekly mowing routine is a form of natural weed control - weeds hate being constantly mowed down. Adjusting heights based on the season and switching mowing directions each time will result the most effective cut on your Lawn, our precision equipment and attention to detail will ensure your Lawn is the talk of the neighborhood.

The fine-details are very important to us. Along with our weekly mowing services, trimming and edging along walkway and shrub bed edges can really make your Lawn stand out - that is why this service is included in our weekly routine.
Summer Lawn Fertility
Our summer fertilizer applications use the highest quality products offering the best nutrient-available formulations for your Lawn during the largest part of the growing season. During this time of heightened exposure to intense sun, heat and activity, these fertilizer applications focuses on promoting dense, green top-growth, with deep root growth to stand up to drought and heat stress during the summer months, along with helping to prevent weed-establishment.
Summer Weed Control
Weed control services continue into the summer as well - Our Post-Emergent Broadleaf Weed Control Applications use products that are 100% safe for your Lawn, but 100% harmful to dandelions, clover, and more.

Water is essential for sustaining all life and ecosystems - and every aspect of a healthy Lawn depends on an effective watering plan.

Winter is Coming. Preparing to Put Your Lawn to Bed
Final Leaf / Debris Clean-up
While Fall is one of the most picturesque of seasons, it can also be the most daunting. With packing up the yard and hauling the patio furniture away, to raking up what seems like an endless supply of fallen leaves - it can seem like the clean-up never ends! Let us take the hassle away so you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the season. We plan our Fall Clean-ups perfectly to ensure the leaves and debris are thoroughly cleaned out of your shrub beds and yard once and for all!
Fall Fertility
Our fall fertilizer applications use the highest quality products offering the best nutrient-available formulations to properly "put your Lawn to bed". With this being your Lawn's last feeding before winter dormancy, this fertilizer application focuses on hardening off the turf with an abundant nutrient reserve that will remain present and available for your Lawn's uptake into the start of the Spring season.
Fall Aeration
Once again, thatch is a layer of built up grass clippings, roots, shoots and other dead organic matter that accumulates between the top-growth layer of your Lawn and the soil surface. An excess amount of thatch can hinder the absorption of air, water, and nutrients and negatively affect the overall health of your lawn. Fall Aeration is an important thatch-preventative practice that opens up the root-zone for better water and fertilizer uptake heading into the winter, while also alleviating the soil compaction from the summer months' activities. Timed properly in the fall, Aeration will guarantee new and healthy turf growth for a healthier, dense Lawn the following spring.
Irrigation System Blow-Out
In our climate, it is crucial that your underground irrigation system is blown out before the frost sets in to avoid major and costly damage. We'll shut down your water properly, and hook up our air-compressor to efficiently clear out any residual water in your irrigation lines for a guaranteed Leak-Free start up in the spring.
