Why Do I Need Professional Lawn Care?

Choosing to pay for professional lawn care or to do it yourself is purely a matter of preference.  Here are a couple reasons why professional lawn mowing and garden maintenance makes sense for many residents of North Vancouver and the surrounding areas:

Convenience

Professional lawn care happens while you are doing other things - working, relaxing, even traveling!  Many people do not enjoy working in their yards, and hiring a professional allows them to delegate this undesirable task to someone who wants to do it, can do it faster, and might even enjoy the work.

Appearance

A professionally maintained lawn often simply looks better!  Our lawn care experts know exactly when, how high, and in which direction to mow your grass so that it always looks lush and healthy.  We will also fertilize, power rake, and apply weed and pest control in just the right amounts so that your lawn never looks thin, overgrown, or neglected.

Our Lawn Maintenance Services in North Vancouver

We offer a wide variety of services in North Vancouver that will not only keep your lawn healthy and vibrant, but will also ensure that you remain compliant with the District of North Vancouver's policies and regulations.  The following are some of our most requested lawn care and garden maintenance services, but don't hesitate to ask if you don't see what you need here!

Power Raking and Lawn Fertilization

Power raking is perhaps one of the most misunderstood and misused lawn care repair services.  If done at the right time, it can be highly beneficial for your yard.  If done too often or incorrectly, however, it can actually harm your grass.  For this reason, we will always evaluate your lawn before we agree to power rake it - the last thing we want to do is chop up healthy grass!

Power raking removes the dead thatch that accumulates around grass roots over time.  When this thatch becomes too thick, it can prevent water and nutrients from reaching your grass, slowly killing your lawn.  Once the thatch is removed, nutrients are free to flow and grass is able to flourish again.  For this reason, we recommend fertilizing your yard soon after power raking to ensure that it has exactly the nutrients it needs.  If you think your lawn might benefit from either of these lawn repair services, give us a call today!

Lawn Overseeding and Top Dressing

If your grass is thin and patchy, overseeding and top dressing might be the answer.  Top dressing involves spreading a thin layer of nutrient-rich soil over your entire lawn, filling in any low places in the process.  Once this organic blanket is in place, the lawn can be overseeded with a species or blend of grasses that are known to thrive in North Vancouver’s climate.  With regular watering (which we can either instruct you in or provide for you), the new grass will fill in between the existing grass, making your entire yard thick and lush.

Overseeding and top dressing can also be used for lawn installation.  If you are building a new house or are tired of looking at a large section of bare dirt outside your home, top dressing provides the perfect environment for new grass seeds to take root and flourish.  While it can take a little time for the newly spread grass seeds to sprout, the quality of your new yard will be well worth the wait.  If your yard is more dirt than grass, call us to see if our lawn installation services are right for you!

Lawn Mowing and Garden Edging

Every yard in North Vancouver, BC needs regular mowing and edging.  Our residential yard maintenance services cover both of these items and more, and we are available as often or as infrequently as you need us to be.  If lawn care is complete drudgery for you, we offer weekly residential lawn cutting so that you never have to touch a lawn mower again.  If you normally enjoy lawn and garden maintenance but need a break due to a vacation, illness, or any other reason, we also offer one-time and short-term residential lawn service options.  Whatever your reasons for needing a little help with your lawn, call us for a quote today!

Weed and Moss Control

Weeds and moss can quickly overtake any yard, covering your lawn with ugly, aggressive plants.  While it is always better to prevent this problem before it starts, it is never too late to reclaim even the most overgrown yard.  We have proven methods for both weed and moss removal and control that will restore your yard to beauty regardless of its current state.

Destroying the unwanted plants in your yard should not harm anything else that lives in or visits your yard.  Our weed and moss control treatments are organic, non-toxic, and completely safe for everything except for North Vancouver’s most common nuisances.  Whether weeds and moss have completely overrun your yard or you want to ensure that they never have the chance to try, call us today for a quote on this essential lawn care service!

Hedge Trimming and Cutting

Garden maintenance sometimes involves more than just grass and weeds.  If you are fortunate enough to have a natural hedge surrounding your lawn and garden, we can help you keep it the right size and shape. Unlike most residential landscape maintenance, hedge trimming is best done in the winter when plants are dormant.  It can be done during spring and even early summer as well, however, provided that the hedge is not overgrown.

Proper hedge trimming requires more than simply using a pair shears to cut your hedge down to size.  To ensure the continued health of your hedge, we use a precise method and a variety of tools to remove the right branches in the right way.  If you are interested in an ornamental hedge, we have a variety of templates to ensure straight lines and symmetrical shapes in even the most complicated of designs.  A properly maintained hedge can bring beauty and continuity to your lawn or garden - call us today to ensure that your hedge receives the best care possible!
