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 is beneficial as it provides 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:

• Blowing out fence line, building perimeter, shrub beds and tree wells
• Power vacuuming of lawn (includes: mowing to pick up any remaining particles of debris not picked up after raking; trimming if necessary)
• Raking fallen leaves and debris
• Removal of debris from property

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. 

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
