Fall Lawn Care in Calgary and Edmonton
The fall can be quite unpredictable in Calgary and Edmonton. Nobody knows whether the temperatures will hold up and prolong the summer or plunge early and make it a long winter. This makes it challenging to prepare your lawn for the big freeze that lies ahead.
One thing is for certain: leaves will fall from the trees, snow will fall, and the ground will start to freeze at some point between late August and November. While falling leaves may look pretty, they have repercussions for your lawn.
Our fall lawn care services are designed to remove the doubts, so that you can go into the winter knowing that you’ve done everything possible for your lawn.
The Yardworx team is experienced at reading the signals from the weather and taking the essential steps that will deliver a picture-perfect lawn in the spring.

Fall Lawn Maintenance in Calgary & Edmonton
Customers trust our expertise regardless of the season, though the summer months are when we can really show our knowledge of lawn care. The following services will help keep your lawn, hedges, trees, and beds healthy throughout the summer when the heat starts kicking in.
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.

If your lawn isn’t properly aerated (as well as fertilized, irrigated, and cleaned), the winter months could lead to its demise.
During the aeration process, we use a machine with hollow tines that move in a vertical mowing action. This removes “plugs” from the entire lawn area and makes it more efficient at using water and oxygen, while also reducing soil compaction.
If you can manage the cleanup of your yard 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 by filling out this form at any time.
Some homeowners aerate three times per year and most golf courses aerate four times per year because of heavy usage, soil compaction, and the need to maintain a pristine appearance.
This will ensure that you nurture a thick lawn that is more resistant to droughts and weeds come the growing months of spring and summer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your lawn will continue to grow until the freezing weather comes (the first hard frost). Try to keep your lawn at the ideal blade length of 2½- to 3-inches throughout the fall. Cutting it will help to remove leaves as well as keeping your lawn looking great. Our team will ensure to cut your lawn at a shorter setting for your last cut. This will allow more sunlight to reach the base of the grass and prevent problems like matting and snow mould.
Yes, overseeding in the fall is advisable because it will protect your lawn against weeds and ensure any bare spots are filled in. In fact, fall is the best time to overseed as the ground is still warm and moist enough but the sun is not too strong, providing good conditions for the seeds to germinate.
