Lawn Care
It depends on your situation. Here in Calgary and surrounding areas we get a lot of sunshine, which means lawns need regular watering to stay healthy.
You should be fertilizing 2 to 3 times every year. We recommend Bluegrass Fertilizer, available at Bluegrass Nursery and Sod — it's worth the trip out to Balzac. While Scotts and other brands work, Bluegrass is our top pick for the best results.
We strongly recommend weekly mowing. When you mow bi-weekly, the lawn has too much time to grow tall — and when grass gets long, the bottom doesn't get sunlight and loses its colour. This is often the cause of brown spots after cutting.
Yes — aeration is one of the best things you can do for your lawn. It alleviates soil compaction, which allows air, water, and nutrients to reach the grass roots more effectively. This promotes stronger, healthier roots and a more robust, lush lawn.
Aeration also reduces thatch buildup, improves drainage, and helps your lawn handle heat and drought better. It's especially beneficial for lawns with heavy foot traffic or clay-heavy soil.
This is extremely common and definitely frustrating. To fix already damaged grass, rake out the dead material, add a small amount of topsoil, and reseed each spot. Water twice a day for one month, then cut back to once a day.
There are also products available that can help prevent burning from occurring in the first place:
Contact us for more info on these products.
We'd be happy to help — whether you want to rejuvenate what you have or start completely fresh. Keep in mind it can take up to two years to fully repair a lawn to its former glory.
Get in touch and we'll walk you through the best option for your yard.
Trees
Water consumption varies from species to species. Poplars, willows, and birch trees are among those that require a lot of water — though there are cultivars specifically bred to reduce water requirements.
