Having a well-maintained and lush lawn not only enhances the beauty of your home but also creates a peaceful and inviting environment. However, different seasons in Ontario require specific lawn care practices to ensure its health and beauty. This article will provide you with tips on how to effectively care for your lawn throughout the year, along with the significant benefits of hiring a professional shrub and lawn management service.


Spring Lawn Care



  1. Spring Clean-Up: A sping clean up can be the best way to kick off the season and assess the health of your yard.

  2. Raking: Start by raking your lawn to remove any debris or dead grass that has accumulated during winter. This process allows for better air circulation.

  3. Aeration: Spring is an excellent time to aerate your lawn. This process helps reduce soil compaction and allows water, nutrients, and oxygen to reach the grass roots, promoting healthy growth.

  4. Overseeding: Fill in bare patches or thin areas in your lawn by overseeding. Choose grass seed suitable for your region and climate to improve the overall density of your turf.


Summer Lawn Care



  1. Watering: Water your lawn deeply but less frequently. Provide around 1 inch of water per week, preferably in the early morning, to allow proper absorption before excessive evaporation occurs. With long periods of no rain, be sure to check by laws in your area.

  2. Weekly or Biweekly Grass Cutting: Regular mowing is crucial during summer months. Set your mower blades higher to promote healthier grass growth and provide shade to the soil, reducing weed competition. Avoid cutting more than 1/3 of the grass blades' height at a time.

  3. Garden Maintenance: It isn't just about your lawn. Maintaining your garden helps keep your plants healthy while enhancing the overall appearance of your home.




  1. Fall Clean Up: Sechuelding a yearly fall clean up is critical to maintaining the health and appearance of your yard.

  2. Raking and Leaf Removal: Clear fallen leaves from your lawn to prevent suffocation and disease development. You can choose to mulch or compost the leaves instead of disposing of them to provide natural nutrients to your lawn. You can easily mulch the leaves with your lawnmower.

  3. Seeding: Fall is a great time to overseed or establish new grass. The cool temperatures provide optimal conditions for seed germination and root development.

  4. Aeration and Dethatching: Combat compacted soil and thatch buildup by aerating and dethatching your lawn. This promotes better access to air, water, and nutrients, ensuring vigorous growth in the following seasons.
