Understanding the basics of lawn aeration

 Aeration is a process of piercing the soil with tiny holes to aid the passage of air, water, and nutrients. This practice helps the grass's roots grow deeply, which produces a stronger and healthier lawn.

What is the Right Time for Aeration?

The ideal time to aerate your lawn is during the growing season when the weather will support the lawn's recovery. However, different types of grasses have their growing seasons. It's best to aerate in early spring or late fall for cool-season grasses common in Northern lawns. Warm-season grasses thrive better during late spring or early summer months.

The Benefit of Aeration

Improves Turf Health

Aeration provides your lawn's root with sufficient access to vital elements such as air, water, and fertilizer. In turn, these nutrients improve the overall health of your turf, resulting in better turfgrass roots.

Tips on finding the right lawn care contractor in Toronto

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.

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.
