Lawn Care in Toronto West

Core aeration removes small plugs of soil from your lawn, which relieves soil compaction and allows air, water, and nutrients to reach the grassroots. This helps grass grow stronger roots and thicker blades. We recommend aerating once a year (often in spring or fall for Etobicoke lawns) to maintain a healthy lawn structure.

Overseeding means spreading new grass seed over your existing lawn. It fills in bare or thin patches and improves turf density. The best time to overseed in Etobicoke is typically early fall, when the soil is still warm but air temperatures are cooler – this helps the new grass establish before winter. A thickened lawn from overseeding naturally crowds out weeds and improves drought and disease resistance.

We use a professional-grade synthetic lawn fertilizer specifically formulated for turf grass. This fertilizer delivers a precise balance of nutrients (N-P-K and micronutrients) for quick greening and strong growth. After aeration, the roots absorb this fertilizer especially well. Seasonal feeding schedules (e.g. spring and fall applications) keep your lawn nutrient levels optimal.

Dethatching (power raking) is the removal of the thatch layer – a mix of dead grass and roots that can build up under the surface. If thatch grows thicker than about ½ inch, it can block water and fertilizer, and harbor pests. Our dethatching service clears out this debris, improving soil contact and water penetration. Typically, dethatching once a year (often paired with aeration) helps revitalize an older lawn and promotes healthier grass.

Top dressing involves spreading a thin layer of quality compost or screened soil over the lawn. This adds organic matter to the soil, helps level minor surface dips, and retains moisture at the roots. By slowly feeding the soil, top dressing often makes the grass greener and fuller. We apply a nutrient-rich mix that improves soil health over time. Top dressing is usually done after aeration or overseeding to give your lawn an extra boost.

No – Clover Property Care never applies herbicides or pesticides. We focus on cultural practices (proper mowing, watering, aeration, overseeding, and fertilizing) to strengthen your lawn so it naturally resists weeds and pests. A dense, well-maintained lawn naturally chokes out weeds, so chemical treatments are unnecessary.
