Welcome Spring!

Now that the weather is starting to dry out, it’s the perfect time to start your yard clean up.

Check out a few secrets of success to effective spring lawn care:

  1. Regular lawn mowing with the correct mowing height is essential; blade height should ideally be no lower than 5cm for the first few cuts, in general.

  2. Feed your lawn in spring and then again in summer to increase strength, vigour and health.

  3. Treat lawn weeds and moss quickly and effectively using a lawn weedkiller.

  4. Deal with bare patches in the lawn immediately to deter weeds and moss taking hold.

  5. Scarify the lawn to help alleviate the build up of thatch layers in the lawn, including debris, dead grass and moss.

  6. Aerate your lawn to relieve compaction and let air circulate around the lawn root system. Aeration will also help if you have lawn drainage issues.

Hello Summer

Summer is the perfect time to take a look around the house.  Thanks to Good Housekeeping, here are a few items to check:

  • Taking care of cooling equipment by changing the HVAC filter, checking the temperature, and keeping humidity and air pollutants in check.

  • Being prepared for extreme weather by inspecting and repairing the roof, siding, windows, and doors.

  • Being on the lookout for pests by sealing any cracks or gaps, removing any food sources, and using natural repellents.

  • Cleaning out gutters and downspouts to prevent water damage and mold growth.

  • Power washing your driveway, sidewalks, deck, patio, and grill to remove dirt and stains.

  • Washing windows and replacing window screens to improve ventilation and visibility.
