Lawn Care
& Mowing in
Cambridge, Ontario

Cutting too short is one of the most common reasons lawns thin out, brown in summer and fill with weeds. We keep the height suited to the season and leave the grass a little longer through the summer heat, so it shades its own roots and crowds out weeds.

Short clippings left on the lawn (grasscycling) return nutrients to the soil. Grass isn't accepted in Region of Waterloo curbside garbage anyway.

Ontario has banned cosmetic pesticide use on lawns since 2009. A thick, healthy lawn is the best defence against weeds and grubs, so our lawn care comes down to mowing height, fertilizing, overseeding thin spots and fixing damage before weeds move in.

Homeowners, landlords and property managers book regular maintenance so the property always looks cared for without anyone having to chase it. We set up a schedule for the season, and it can include spring and fall cleanups, hedge trimming and garden bed care.

Grass clippings have been banned from curbside garbage in the Region of Waterloo since 2003. Leaving them on the lawn is the easiest way to deal with them.

From May 31 to September 30, lawns in the Region of Waterloo may be watered one day a week, based on the last digit of your address. A healthy lawn cut at the right height copes with that much better.

Ontario's cosmetic pesticide ban (in place since 2009) means weed and grub control rely on lawn health, overseeding and permitted alternatives.
