Lawn Mowing Questions

We get tons of questions from residents all over the city of Calgary. We have included some of the most commonly asked ones below to help you make your decision.

How will I know the work has been done?

Simple!

After every single visit, regardless of your service level we will send you a photo of everything we did.

Will you come on the same day every week?

Unfortunately, due to weather we can’t guarantee that we will come on the same day every visit. We will do our best to stick to a schedule, but times and dates are subject to slight change

Where do the grass clippings go?

Wherever you want! We can mulch clippings, put them in the green bin, or anything else. Let us know when you sign up what your preference is and we will do our best to accomodate it.

Can you mow overgrown lawns?

Absolutely. Sometimes overgrown lawns can require multiple passes with the mower, so it may take more time on the first visit. Because of this there may be an extra charge.

FAQs

Healthy Grass Questions

When is it best to start cutting my grass in Calgary?

Usually grass begins growing in early April. This is when we do our spring yard clean ups. We usually begin our weekly and bi-weekly lawn care shortly after, at the end of April, or beginning of May.

What height is recommended?

We recommend, and implement a 3″ height for lawns. This allows your lawn to stay healthy and grow, while still looking amazing!

How often should the grass be cut?

We recommend weekly cutting. Mowing your lawn every week will ensure that it stays healthy, while looking great. In dry years, or near the end of summer bi-weekly mowing may be suffficient, depending on it’s growth.

What can I do to keep my lawn healthy?

Power raking, aeration, fertilization, mulching, regular lawn 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 good fertilizer?

Every year the City of Calgary offers free compost to residents. Spreading this across your lawn and flower beds is a great way to fertilize and encourage growth.

How do I get rid of burn marks from my dogs?

Training your dogs to only use one area for their business and then diluting the spots with fresh water is a great way to prevent burn marks and keep your lawn healthy and looking great.
