What You Actually Need to Maintain a Healthy Lawn

Lawn-care marketing is busy. Sprays, treatments, special tools, monthly programs — most of it is unnecessary. A short list of equipment and habits does the actual work.

A reliable watering system

The single biggest factor in lawn health is consistent watering. An in-ground sprinkler system handles this without effort.

A mower set to three inches

Taller grass shades soil, conserves moisture, and crowds out weeds. The single most common lawn-care mistake we see is cutting too short.

A core aerator (once a year)

Rent one in early September. A few hours of work in fall produces noticeable improvement the following spring.

A bag of grass seed and a bag of compost

Overseed in fall after aeration. A thin top-dressing of compost feeds the soil for the entire next season.

Slow-release fertiliser, twice a season

Late spring and early fall. Two applications is enough for almost every GTA lawn.
