Individual Lawn Care Services

Topdressing


1 yard of Triple Mix Topdressing for $245 (plus tax) 

What is Topdressing?
  • Topdressing is a thin layer of triple mix spread over the lawn, ½” to 1” thick focusing mainly on any bare or thin areas. Topdressing is used to even out your lawn, increasing micro-organisms and improve water retention in the soil. It will help thicken up your lawn and the thicker and more full your lawn is the more difficult it is for weeds to germinate. 

Our topdressing services include the soil, delivery and installation
Save yourself the wheelbarrowing and shovelling

Soil can either be spread on your lawn as a topdressing or in your garden beds to help feed your plants. We have several soil varieties depending on the application from triple mix to topdressing mix to garden mixes. 

Overseeding


prices vary on specific lawn, average sized lawn is $50 (plus tax)

What is overseeding?

  • Overseeding means spreading grass seed over your existing lawn. 
  • A seed mixture that contains one or more varieties of Kentucky bluegrass, fescue and perennial ryegrass is recommended. Kentucky bluegrass provides a lush, dark green lawn. Fescue is a lighter green grass that blends well with bluegrass and tolerates shadier parts of your lawn. Perennial ryegrass is added because it germinates quickly and is more resistant to turfgrass diseases. 
  • Grass seed needs to be kept moist until germination. 
  • When watering don’t allow the water to puddle or run off as this will wash your seed away.
  • Spring and fall are the best times to plant grass seed when temperatures are between 15º and 26ºC (59º and 78.8ºF) 
  • After overseeding keep the top 1/2 in. of soil damp by watering twice daily until all new seedlings are up


Our grass seed of choice is Scotts® Supreme Grass Seed, an all-purpose sun and shade tolerant grass seed mixture that has been bred to deliver quick germination, disease resistance and heat and drought tolerance. Made for Canadian grasses and contains a mixture of creeping red fescue, turf-type Perennial Ryegrass and Kentucky Bluegrass
