Landscaping tips for a healthy lawn in Toronto

Landscaping companies in Toronto are often asked by homeowners how to keep their lawns healthy.

Canadians appreciate the green grass beneath their feet, because we only get to experience it for about seven months of the year. So why not have the best lawn you can have. Here are some tips for you to help you enjoy your lawn.

It all begins with the soil conditions. It makes sense that lawns that are nourished will produce the best growing conditions for grass. If you have clay based soil, you will need to start by aerating the soil and filling in the holes with a combo of sand and peat moss. 

Over time this will help to change the structure of the soil. This process also helps to decrease the compaction of the soil and will allow more water and air into the soil for healthier grass. If you have sandy soil, then you need to add some organic elements to the existing soil. 

Spread a thin layer of organic mix over the lawn and rake in. Organic mix can be store bought or used from your own compost pile. This helps to retain the moisture in the soil.

Lawns only require approximately 1” of water each week. Water fewer times but for a longer period of time. This will allow the water to seep deeply into the soil and get to the roots of the grass. Remember healthy roots produce healthy grass.

Tips on finding the right lawn care contractor in Toronto

As with any project, it’s wise to get multiple bids. Do your homework and spend time researching; you have a terrific resource called the internet at your disposal. When selecting the lawn care companies that you would like to receive bids from, use the following checklist: a. Does your contractor operate from a permanent place of business. If the contractor is not permanently established, you run the risk that they will not complete the work or be in business, down the line, should there be any problems. We’ve all heard the stories where homeowners make a size able deposit and then the contractor disappears. Don’t be that homeowner! b. Is the company licensed, bonded and insured? Make sure the employer has workers’ compensation and general liability insurance in case of accidents on the job. Don’t be afraid to ask for copies of these policies.  c. How long has the company been in business? A long-time, well-established contractor is a great indicator of quality of product and serv...

Lawn Mowing Recommendations for Toronto Homeowners

Image
One of the most important rules to remember when deciding how high or low you want to mow your lawn is the one-third rule. Grass plants attempt to balance their above and below ground growth, so the root systems are roughly equal to the mass of grass blades. Removing no more than one-third of the grass blade at any one mowing helps keep this balance. Mowing too short, a common mistake some homeowners in Toronto make in an effort to reduce mowing frequency, can stress plants. In addition, if too much grass is removed, clippings will fail to decompose rapidly enough, contributing to a buildup of clippings and an unsightly lawn. Mowing height varies depending on growing conditions, grass type, and the season. Your landscape service provider will be able to match proper mowing height to your lawn, helping to ensure that it stays healthy even during times of stress.
