Here in Alberta, the growing season usually runs from May through September. As its name implies, the growing season is when your grass will be growing, and you'll want to do everything you can to help your lawn thrive during this time of year. There are some lawn care services that you can schedule during this time of year to benefit your lawn, including fertilization, weed control, aeration, and overseeding. Lawn fertilization will provide your lawn with all of the essential nutrients it needs to thrive throughout the year. A weed control service will keep your lawn weed free and ensure the only thing growing during the growing season is your grass. Aeration helps loosen up compacted soil so important nutrients can reach the roots of your grass. What's more, an overseeding service will help fill the bare or patchy areas that are present in your lawn. Scheduling these four services during the growing season will help your lawn stay healthy and grow to its full potential!


Lawn fertilization provides your lawn with all of the essential nutrients it needs to thrive.

During the growing season, you should schedule a fertilization service to ensure that your lawn receives all of the essential nutrients it requires to thrive. Fertilizer will provide the nutrients your lawn needs to be lush and green. It will also help your lawn develop a stronger root system and remain healthy enough to fight off lawn diseases, allowing your lawn to focus solely on healthy grass growth.

Nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus are the three main nutrients most fertilizers contain.


A weed control service will make sure your lawn is free of pesky weeds.

Your lawn has a better chance of growing strong if it is weed-free. Pesky weeds steal important nutrients away from your lawn, weakening your lawn while the weeds grow stronger. You can use post-emergent weed control treatments during the growing season to eliminate any weeds that are present on your lawn. By scheduling a weed control service, you can rest easy knowing that the only thing growing this growing season is your grass!


Aeration loosens up your soil so important nutrients can reach the roots of your grass.

Aeration is used to loosen up your soil so important resources such as water, sunlight, and nutrients can reach the roots of your grass. The most efficient way to do this is by core aeration, which involves running an aerator machine over your lawn to remove cores of soil from it. This will create tiny holes in your lawn that nutrients and other resources will use to access the roots of your grass. When your grass has access to these nutrients and resources, it will be able to grow nice and strong.


Overseeding will fill in any bare or patchy areas on your lawn.

If your lawn consists of cool-season grass and you want to thicken it during the growing season, schedule an overseeding service! Overseeding is the process of spreading cool-season seeds to fill bare and patchy areas on your lawn with new, healthy grass growth. A thicker, denser turf has stronger defenses and is less vulnerable to stressors.
