We work with both granular and commercial-grade liquid fertilizers. Our liquid fertilizer is not just a fertilizer, it also contains a soil conditioner to help improve lawn health.

In Calgary, we recommend fertilizing about four to five times during the season for the best results. This pairs well with regular lawn mowing to keep your grass healthy and looking great.

We generally don’t recommend aeration in Calgary during the summer months (July to the end of August), but we do offer aeration in the spring and fall when conditions are ideal.

Aeration helps reduce soil compaction and allows air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots. If your lawn has a thick layer of thatch (dead grass buildup), we may also recommend dethatching to remove it, making the aeration even more effective.

To winterize your gas lawn mower, we recommend:

Avoid leaving gas in the engine over the winter (run it empty or use a fuel stabilizer).

Store it in a dry area, like a garage or shed.

If storing under a patio or outdoors, cover it with a tarp to protect from moisture and snow.
