Before your scheduled lawn care service in Calgary, please clear the lawn of toys, pet waste, and debris. This allows our fertilizer, weed control, and aeration treatments to be applied evenly and effectively.

You can resume watering the day after your lawn care treatment, once the fertilizer and weed control have dried and soaked in. Since April 2026, Calgary has a year-round watering schedule: even-numbered addresses water on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, odd-numbered addresses on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, before 10 a.m. or after 7 p.m. Aim for about 2.5 cm (1 inch) of water a week including rain, split across your watering days so it soaks in deeply instead of running off. If the City brings in temporary water restrictions, those take priority over the schedule.

Yes. Mowing can resume the next day once treatments have settled and dried. This ensures lawn care products are not disturbed and continue working as intended.

Yes. Children and pets can safely return to the lawn 24 hours after treatment, once products have fully dried.

Hairy chinch bugs are now found in every quadrant of Calgary and do the most damage in hot, dry stretches from June to August. Damage usually starts as yellow or straw-coloured patches in the sunniest parts of the yard, often along driveways and sidewalks, that don't green up after watering. We offer targeted chinch bug treatment in Calgary, and catching it early keeps the damage from spreading. Chinch bugs go after drought-stressed grass first, so deep watering on your scheduled days helps the lawn hold up, and once the bugs are under control, fertilization and reseeding bare spots help the damaged areas fill back in.

Most weeds show a visible change within 7 days of a treatment. If you're on a full annual program and the weeds in your lawn haven't changed after 7 days, let us know and we'll come back and reapply at no extra cost. A few habits also help treatments work better: skip mowing for a day or two before a visit so weeds have more leaf to absorb the product, water deeply on your scheduled watering days, since drought-stressed weeds take up treatment poorly, and avoid pulling treated weeds for about a week so the product can reach the roots. Keeping grass at around 7 to 8 cm (3 inches) and well fed with regular fertilization helps the lawn crowd out new weeds over time.

The price depends on the size of your lawn and the package you choose. All three packages include season-long fertilization, unlimited broadleaf weed control and hardscape weed control. The Golden Retriever package adds liquid fall aeration, and the St. Bernard package adds Super Juice, sea kelp and a DIY BarePatch Pro kit on request. If you start partway through the season, you pay a lower mid, late or end-of-season price, and there's no contract either way. You can compare the current package prices on this page or call us for a quote based on your lawn size.

Yes. Thin or patchy Calgary lawns usually come down to compacted clay soil, drought stress or chinch bugs, so the first step is figuring out which one it is. Mechanical aeration or Aeration Plus loosens compacted soil, regular fertilization helps the grass fill in, and Super Juice and sea kelp help stressed turf recover. For small bare spots, the St. Bernard package includes a DIY BarePatch Pro seed and compost mix on request.

Yes. Our lawn care services in Calgary include solutions that help repair thinning or stressed lawns, such as mechanical aeration, liquid aeration, aeration plus, fertilization, and soil-enhancing treatments like super juice and sea kelp.

Most Calgary lawns get a visit every 4 to 6 weeks from spring to fall. Visits combine fertilizer with broadleaf weed control where it's needed, including weeds in sidewalk cracks and driveways, and depending on your package, a liquid aeration in the fall plus Super Juice or sea kelp during the season. The fall visits matter a lot here, because a late-season feeding and aeration help the lawn get through winter chinooks, when the ground thaws and refreezes several times. The same technician handles every visit, so treatments can be adjusted as your lawn changes.

Most Calgary lawns get their first treatment in April or early May, once the snow is gone, the ground has thawed, and temperatures stay above freezing. A late spring snowfall can push the first visit back a week or two. That first round of fertilizer and weed control helps the lawn recover from winter before the summer heat arrives.

Fall is usually the best time in Calgary, from late August through September, because the grass is still growing and has several weeks to recover before winter. Spring aeration also works once the snow is gone and the soil has dried out enough that it isn't soggy, usually in late April or May. Calgary's clay soil should be moist but not waterlogged so the tines can pull clean plugs, which is why aerating a day or two after rain or a scheduled watering day gives the best results. If you plan to reseed thin areas, do it right after mechanical aeration so the seed settles into the holes and reaches the soil.
