Fall Services

Fall Clean Up

One of the most important aspects of fall lawn care is performing the final clean up of your yard to ensure nothing is blocking the sunlight or restricting nutrient uptake.

Your lawn may be dormant in winter but ensuring that it has access to sufficient sunlight, oxygen and nutrients will keep it healthy come spring.

We will blow out the lawn and all the beds and hedges around it, completely cleaning up your property.

We recommend scheduling a fall clean up early in the fall, as the weather can become extreme during late fall, making lawn work more difficult.

Fall Cleanup Package (with Aeration)

With this package, you receive all the benefits of our standard fall cleanup, plus improved uptake of nutrients for your lawn with core aeration.

While aeration is usually performed in the spring and maybe once during the summer, it is also important in the fall. If your lawn isn’t properly aerated (as well as fertilized, irrigated, and cleaned), the winter months could lead to issues.

During the aeration process, we use a machine that move in a mowing pattern and removes “plugs” from the entire lawn. This makes it more efficient at using water and oxygen, while also reducing soil compaction.

Fall Aeration Only

If you can manage the cleanup of your lawn mowing, or fall yard cleanup yourself and just need assistance with the core aeration of your lawn, our “aeration-only” service is for you.

You can schedule an appointment for our crew to come out and provide the final aeration of your lawn before the winter sets in. Some homeowners aerate three times per year to maintain a pristine appearance, as aeration allows for better oxygen and nutrient uptake. 

This will ensure that you have a thick, healthy lawn that is more resistant to droughts and weeds come the growing months of spring and summer.

Irrigation Blow Out

An irrigation system is an excellent acquisition for most Calgary properties but it’s easy for your sprinkler system to suffer damage over the winter months.

At the end of the summer, it is essential to perform an irrigation blow out. This will prepare your system for the freezing winter temperatures and could save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars on repairs.

Our crews will blow out all of your irrigation lines so that they are free of water to avoid splits and other potential damage.

Fall Bed Maintenance

Fall bed maintenance is a great way to prepare your property for the winter ahead. It is available in Calgary and Edmonton and includes:

• A health inspection of all tree, shrub and garden beds on your property
• Removal of all weeds and debris by hand
• Cultivating (turning) soil
• Re-forming the garden bed edge using a hand edger
• Cultivating the flower bed area
• Remove annuals and cut back perennials, as needed
• If requested with materials provided, we can add soil, plants, mulch, rock etc.

Fertilization & Weed Control

If you’ve fertilized your lawn in spring, you should repeat the process once at the end of the summer and once in the fall, to get the best results.

This is essential for providing the nutrients for healthy growth and for enhanced weed control. We can apply weed control at the same time as we apply fertilizer to your lawn.

We ensure that your entire lawn receives the right blend to ensure a healthy “hibernation” period during winter, and is ready to start growing again in spring.

One-Time Yard Cleanups

You can book our one-time yard clean-up service at any time throughout the year to keep your property looking its best.

As well as yards with lawns, this type of one-off cleanup is useful for clearing debris from hardscaped yards or garden beds without a lawn.

We visit your home at a convenient time to:

• Blow out the yard
• Remove all loose debris

This service is charged at an hourly rate, plus the cost of debris removal from your property. 

Fall/Winter Tree Pruning

Tree pruning services can continue throughout the fall and winter, if necessary.

Minor hedge trimming services include manicuring new growth on hedges or bushes under six feet in height.

More comprehensive pruning is also available if your trees, hedges or shrubs are over six feet tall.

A certified arborist is part of our crew. The arborist will identify any diseases or concerns about your trees, hedges, and shrubs and provide a quote to prune, treat, or remove features or even stumps.
