Many homeowners in Calgary struggle to keep their lawns green and healthy all season long. At The Green Effect, we've developed four simple and effective ways to help you achieve a healthy lawn throughout the season. We also offer the following services so you can relax and enjoy your summer while we take care of the work for you.
Aeration: Alleviates compacted soil and allows water, oxygen, and nutrients to reach deeper into the soil and roots.
Power Rake: Removes the layer of organic matter at the soil base, preventing it from blocking water, nutrients, and oxygen from reaching the roots.
First Lawn Cut: Sets your lawn at the recommended height of 2 inches for spring.
Fertilization: Our slow-release, high-nitrogen granular fertilizer gives your lawn the boost it needs to wake up from dormancy.
Overseeding is an affordable and effective way to improve lawn thickness and prevent damage from invasive insects. This practice delivers quick results and enhances the lawn’s resilience.
Cutting your lawn at the proper height is crucial for maintaining a healthy lawn:
Spring: Cut to 2 inches.
Summer: Maintain a longer cut (minimum 3 inches).
Fall: Reduce the height to 2 inches, and keep the final cut of the season shorter than 2 inches.
Broadleaf weeds steal essential nutrients from your grass, so controlling them is vital for a healthy lawn. Weed control and fertilization are highly recommended practices to keep your lawn in top condition.
