Our Lawn Care Services
Comprehensive lawn care programs for every season and every property type across Canada.
Lawn Mowing
Professional lawn mowing is the foundation of a healthy, attractive property. At Mow.ca, our crews use commercial-grade rotary and reel mowers calibrated to the ideal cutting height for your grass type — typically 2.5 to 3.5 inches (6 to 9 cm) for Kentucky Bluegrass and Perennial Ryegrass common acr...

- Blade sharpening every 20–25 operating hours for clean cuts
Lawn Aeration
Core aeration is one of the most impactful services you can invest in for your lawn's long-term health. The process relieves soil compaction and creates pathways for water, oxygen, and nutrients to reach the root zone where they matter most. At Mow.ca, our technicians use professional walk-behind an...
- Core aerator extracts 2–3 inch (5–8 cm) soil plugs
- Professional walk-behind or ride-on equipment

- Best paired with overseeding and fall fertilization
- Annual service recommended for high-traffic lawns
- Soil plugs decompose naturally within 2–3 weeks
Lawn Fertilization
A properly fertilized lawn is thicker, greener, and more resistant to weeds, pests, and drought. Our multi-application fertilization programs deliver the right nutrients at the right time throughout the growing season, taking the guesswork out of lawn nutrition. At Mow.ca, we use slow-release granul...

- Licensed technicians with provincial certifications
- PMRA-compliant application rates under the Fertilizers Act
- Organic options: corn gluten meal, composted manure, kelp
Weed Control
Weeds compete with your grass for sunlight, water, and nutrients — and left unchecked, they can overtake even a healthy lawn within a single growing season. Our targeted weed control programs eliminate dandelions, clover, crabgrass, creeping Charlie, plantain, and other broadleaf and grassy weeds wi...
- Pre-emergent and post-emergent treatments timed to germination cycles
- Fully compliant with provincial cosmetic pesticide bans (ON, QC, NS, PE, NB)

Overseeding & Sod Installation
Thin, bare, or damaged lawn areas are invitations for weeds and soil erosion. Professional overseeding and sod installation restore turf density, fill in bare patches, and can dramatically improve your lawn's appearance within weeks. At Mow.ca, we offer both overseeding (for gradual lawn renovation)...

- Best paired with core aeration and starter fertilizer
- Visible growth from seed in 10–14 days
Spring & Fall Cleanup
Seasonal transitions are critical moments for your lawn's health. Spring cleanup removes winter debris and sets the stage for vigorous summer growth, while fall cleanup protects your turf from snow mold, ice damage, and smothering leaf cover during the long Canadian winter. At Mow.ca, our comprehens...

- Trained inspection for snow mold, frost heave, and vole trails
- Garden bed edging and perennial cutback

Dethatching
Thatch is the layer of dead grass, roots, stems, and organic debris that accumulates between the soil surface and the living green blades of your lawn. A thin thatch layer (up to half an inch or 1.3 cm) is actually beneficial — it insulates roots, retains soil moisture, and cushions turf against foo...
- Power verticutter with adjustable steel blades
- Removes thatch layer exceeding 0.5 inches (1.3 cm)
- Multiple passes at controlled depth settings
- Improves water, fertilizer, and air penetration to soil
- Reduces habitat for lawn diseases (dollar spot, red thread)
- Best performed in early fall (September) or spring (late April)
Pest & Grub Control
White grubs are the single most destructive lawn pest across Canada. These C-shaped larvae — the immature stage of European chafer beetles, Japanese beetles, and June beetles — feed on grass roots just below the soil surface, severing the root system and causing irregular brown patches that peel bac...
- Spring grub inspection with pull-test (5 grubs/sq ft threshold)
- Heterorhabditis bacteriophora beneficial nematodes
- Bacillus thuringiensis galleriae (Btg) biological insecticide
