REGULAR LAWN MAINTENANCE
Keeping your lawn cut properly not only helps to ensure growth but it also keeps your property looking sharp throughout the summer season. Here are some key notes about our regular lawn maintenance services:
- Lawn maintenance services usually begin at the beginning of May (weather dependant) and finish in October. All services include a cut of the lawn and a thorough trim of the edges. Lawn mowing directionality will be rotated to produce a consistent uniform cut.
- All weekly services include complementary bagging and disposal of the lawn clippings. If you want your lawn clippings mulched back into the lawn that is okay too! All of our high-end residential mowers are equipped to mulch and restore your lawn clippings as well. All lawn clippings are composted at City of Calgary compost facilities. We always finish each service by blowing off your driveway and walkways to ensure no lawn clippings or debris is left behind.
- Services can either be performed on a weekly basis, bi-weekly basis, or for holiday service. We always recommend weekly service during our main growing months of May, June, July, and August, however bi-weekly service may be appropriate for your properties individual needs. Properties that receive regular watering and fertilizer applications will likely need weekly service for the entire season.
-We currently service inner-city residences and small commercial buildings, as well as acreages up to 4 acres in total size.
CORING AERATION
Coring aeration gives grass roots the ability to start growing stronger in the spring season by allowing additional nutrient particles and water to reach the roots more easily, thus enabling root expansion. Aeration is recommended at the start of the season on lawns that have difficulty getting going at the start of the growing season, or for any lawn to ensure hardy growth. New grass seed and fertilizer can fill the holes created through aeration which creates a thicker and healthier lawn, with less weeds! Aeration is commonly performed after power raking on lawns with lawn debris. Spring property cleanups usually take place in late-April (weather dependant).
*Aeration can be adding to power raking service at a reduced rate!

POWER DETHATCHING RAKE
Power Dethatching service, also called Power Raking, helps the lawn grow by removing old surface thatch and dead materials that are inhibiting growth. This layer of lawn debris prevents water and other nutrients from reaching the soil, thus slowing new growth at the start of the season. In Calgary power raking can give your lawn a big advantage, as our winters escalate thatch and lawn debris build-up. Power Raking is commonly paired with overseeding service and aeration service, as after power raking new grass seed can fill in spots where old organic material was to prevent weeds from filling in this space. Power Raking is recommended on lawns that have a hazy brown colour throughout the lawn in the early growing season. It is normal to have a brown lawn at the start of the season, but if the lawn is growing in patchy this usually is a tell-tale sign of lawn debris. Spring property cleanups usually take place in late-April (weather dependant).
