Lawn care service FAQ
I'm on vacation or at work, how will I know the work was done?
You will automatically receive a notification once the work is completed with pictures of your freshly mowed lawn.
You were here last Tuesday, Why didn't you come this Tuesday?
Unfortunately we can't mow your grass when it's soaking wet so sometimes we have to adjust your schedule around the weather. Please allow a day or two on either side of your usual service day.
Where do the grass clippings go?
Up to you! You can choose to have us leave them on the lawn as mulch, put them in the green bin to be removed by the city, or we can bag and remove them. Leaving the clippings on your lawn returns nutrients to the soil, discourages weeds and keeps moisture – like a free fertilizer!
Can you mow my overgrown lawn?
Sure we can! Depending on the height we'll have to make multiple passes with the mower. This initial mow can take sometimes 3x or 4x longer to complete than a maintenance mow, so there is a one-time surcharge depending on just how tall it is.
My home is for sale, can you maintain the yard until it sells?
We can! It's a great idea to keep your yard looking sharp while it is for sale to make the best first impression for your potential buyers, as Justin Havre, a real estate professional, explains here.
Can you do my fertilizer treatments too?
We don't specialize in fetilizer and weed control, but in Calgary we’ve partnered with YardDawgs this year. Send us a note and we'll put your in touch!
What's your cancellation policy?
There's no penalty for cancelling your service. Come and go as you wish, we're not trying to force you into anything. Of course some heads up is always appreciated.
Is there a grass cutting Bylaw?
Under The City of Calgary's Community Standards Bylaw, private property owners must ensure that grass does not exceed 15 cm (six inches) in height. In Edmonton residents are not allowed to have "unkempt grass or weeds higher than 10 centimetres". For our clients in Ottawa "the owner or occupant shall clear the lands of such heavy undergrowth, long grass or weeds so as to be consistent with the surrounding environment"

Healthy grass FAQ
When is it time to start cutting your grass in WINNIPEG?
We start to see heavy growth with the rain, usually in April. This is a great time to get a spring clean-up to prepare your grass for a healthy growing season. Our residential lawn care services are in full swing by May.
What height should the grass be cut to?
Keeping the grass 3” tall allows for a deeper root system to develop. This height creates shade keeping the roots cool and not stressed. This height also allows for more moisture retention, helping to buffer the effects of severe heat or dry spells.
How often should I cut the grass?
Frequent mowing keeps your grass healthy. It's best to not remove more than 1/3 of the total height of the grass with one cut, so keeping it short keeps the ratio low. Later in the summer when the grass growth is slowing down and the weather is more dry, bi-weekly mowing can be sufficient.
What can I do to keep my lawn healthy and green?
Power raking, aeration, fertilization, mulching, regular mowing and watering all contribute to having a happy lawn. If you have dogs, training them to use a dedicated area to prevent burn spots from occurring is a handy trick. When you're watering, water slowly at a rate that your lawn can absorb to avoid runoff.
What makes for good fertilizer?
Most Canadian cities including Winnipeg offer a composting program that gives free compost to residents for pick-up every year – it’s great lawn food, and free! Liquid kelp contains micronutrients that are like magic sauce for both your garden and house plants. A little goes a long way. Leaving your grass clippings on the lawn as mulch is beneficial too, returning nutrients to the soil.
How often should a lawn be aerated and when?
In Winnipeg, the best time to aerate is in May to June and again in mid-September. The cores of soil are best left on the lawn so they can be reabsorbed. Booking our spring and fall yard cleaning services will keep you on schedule!
My dogs are making burn marks in the grass, what can I do?
Our furry friends have a high concentration of nitrogen in their waste, essentially acting like salt on the root systems of the grass. Some people like to train their pets to use a dedicated area for their business. Otherwise, diluting the spots with fresh water can help keep salts from accumulating.
