We Don't Cut Grass — Here's What We Do Instead

Straight up: we don't cut grass. Not weekly, not once, not as a favour. The crew that would be mowing your lawn on a Tuesday is the same crew laying sod, grading a yard flat and putting the fertilizer down — and we would rather do a few things properly than everything badly.

So if you came here for a mowing quote, we're not your people, and we'd sooner tell you that in ten seconds than waste your week. If you came here because the lawn looks rough and cutting it more often hasn't fixed it — stay. That part is very much our problem.

Cutting is not what's wrong with your lawn

Mowing is housekeeping. It keeps a lawn tidy, and it has never once turned a thin, patchy, weed-run lawn into a thick green one — because everything that makes a lawn thin lives below the blade. Compacted soil. Nothing to feed on. The wrong seed for the shade it is sitting in. A mat of thatch that water cannot get through.

That is the part we do.

Start with the fertilizer program

The LawnJunkie lawn fertilizer program is a season of scheduled feeding built around Niagara soil and Niagara weather — applied by us, on a plan, rather than by you on a Saturday with a bag from the hardware store. It is the least expensive thing on this list, it is the one that turns a tired lawn around, and it is where nearly everyone who lands on this page should start.

If the lawn is past feeding, the rest of what we do picks up where the program leaves off:

• Sod installation — out with the old lawn, grade it properly, lay new turf.
• Seeding and overseeding — the slower, cheaper finish on the same job.
• Levelling and grading — for the lawn that is healthy enough but rides like a rollercoaster.
• Aeration and dethatching — for the lawn that is suffocating.
• Lawn renovation — several of the above at once, without the cost of a full replacement.

And if you really do just need it cut

Ask on your street. We are not going to hand you a name we cannot stand behind, and in St. Catharines, Thorold and Niagara-on-the-Lake there is usually someone good three doors down. Get it cut — then come back and let us make it worth cutting.
