Our Spring Clean Up Package includes:

Our Earth Smart team will ensure a successful season for your lawn. We will customize each spring clean up in order to address the complexities of your lawn while also seeking out potential problem areas in order to generate an action plan for a beautiful lawn all season long.

Our spring clean up package focuses on the specific needs of each individual lawn. Because of this, each package may include some, if not all of these services:

• Mowing and edging
• Power raking
• Clearing debris, branches and clutter

Power Raking

Power raking, also known as lawn dethatching, is the process of removing excess dead and decomposing plants from a lawn surface.

A small amount of thatch (approximately ¼ to ½ inch), can improve wear tolerance and surface resiliency, and reduce water loss and soil temperature fluctuations. Thicker layers, particularly beyond an inch, often cause problems for your lawn. Excessive thatch reduces the effectiveness of fertilizers, watering and pest controls and can also provide an optimal habitat for disease and insects.

Maintaining an ideal thickness of thatch provide major benefits by providing organic matter that the growing grass can use as a fertilizer while, at the same time, improving water and nutrient flow for the new shoots.

Signs that Your Lawn Requires Overseeding: 

• Thin grass (dirt is visible between blades of grass)
• Bare patches
• Brown patches (not caused by pets or lack of watering)

Benefits of Overseeding:

• A thick healthy lawn is less prone to being overtaken by weeds
• More even application and higher rates of success than with hand seeding 

Our Fall Clean Up Package includes:

• Raking leaves
• Cleaning up any branches, trash and debris
• Cutting grass

Fall can often leave you with a large mess that includes leaves, branches, rain damage and other various messes. Trust Earth Smart to have your yard in optimal condition to endure our Canadian winters. This will ensure that your property can be fully enjoyed in the coming seasons.

Mowing offers a beautiful aesthetic scene for your property.

Most homeowners look at it as the foundation of a beautiful property. There are also many unseen benefits of lawn cutting. Not many people enjoy mowing their lawns. Spending a hot summer day pushing around an old mower, running to the store to get gas, cleaning out debris and sharpening blades is no fun for anyone. Wouldn’t you like to spend more time relaxing on your beautifully cut lawn? Let our professional and courteous team make sure your lawn is the envy of the neighborhood.

Mowing promotes healthy lawn activity by ensuring that all debris is removed properly and all shoots remain strong. A proper lawn cutting routine also reduces pests in your grass and helps keep weeds under control.

Each cut includes:

• Proper cutting done according to your specifications
• Blow off of excess debris
• Edging of the grass
• Proper disposal of grass clippings
• Cutting visits depending on the season

We ensure that each option in your service package is done in the most environmentally friendly way possible. Your inspection report will provide details on water consumption needs to ensure no water is wasted. We also use environmentally friendly equipment and will properly dispose of any yard waste.

Benefits of Aeration include:

• Reduces water runoff and puddling
• Improves drainage 
• Encourages deep grass roots (within two to three weeks)
• Reduces soil compaction 
• Improves air exchange between the soil and the atmosphere

• Enhances thatch breakdown (within 30 days)
• Releases harmful gases from the root zone
• Enhances water intake by the grass
• Improves fertilizer uptake and use (within seven days)
• Increases tolerance to heat, drought and disease (long term)
