Why April is the Perfect Time for a Lawn Reset in Calgary & Red Deer
Spring has officially sprung across Alberta, and that means one thing for homeowners: it’s time to wake up your lawn and give it the care it needs to thrive. If your grass looks patchy, compacted, or slow to green up, the problem may not be your watering or mowing — it might be your soil.
That’s where aeration and spring fertilization come in. Together, they form the ultimate power combo to kickstart healthy growth, boost nutrient absorption, and prep your lawn for a lush summer.
Let’s break down why this combo is so important — and why April is the best time to get started in Calgary and Red Deer.
💨 What Is Lawn Aeration (And Why Does It Matter)?
Lawn aeration involves perforating your soil with small holes to reduce compaction and allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the grass roots. Over time, Alberta’s heavy clay soils — combined with foot traffic, snowpack, and equipment — can become tightly compacted, stifling root development.
Key benefits of core aeration:
-
Enhances oxygen flow to the root zone
-
Improves water absorption and reduces runoff
-
Increases fertilizer efficiency
-
Breaks up thatch buildup
-
Encourages deeper, stronger root growth
🌿 When should you aerate in Alberta?
April to early May is the ideal window. The ground is soft enough to aerate but not yet in full growth mode — meaning your lawn can recover quickly and respond better to fertilizer treatments.

🌾 Why Spring Fertilization Is Non-Negotiable
Once your lawn has been aerated and the soil is loosened up, it’s time to feed it. Spring is a critical growth phase — your lawn needs energy to push out new blades, build strong roots, and outcompete weeds.
Benefits of spring fertilizing:
-
Promotes rapid green-up and early-season growth
-
Feeds the lawn with essential nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium
-
Fills in bare patches and strengthens density
-
Helps crowd out early weeds like dandelions and chickweed
By fertilizing after aeration, the nutrients can penetrate deeper, delivering food right where it’s needed — to the roots.
