Local crew since 2020

We cut grass in Guelph. That's the whole job.

We started in 2020 with one mower and a handful of lawns in the south end. Now we look after more than 85 properties across the city every single week, from Kortright Hills to Westminster Woods to Pineridge.

You get the same day every week, a cut at the right height, the edges done, and the driveway blown off before we leave. If something comes up, you hear about it from us first. More about us.

$40

Weekly mowing starts at $40 a cut.

That's mowing, trimming, edging and blowing off the hard surfaces. Bigger lots, lots of trimming or tough backyard access cost a bit more. You get your exact price before we start. See all prices.

What your lawn needs, month by month

Guelph lawns wake up in late April and shut down in November. Here's how our season runs. The full calendar.

AprilCleanup + first cut

Rake out the grey, matted snow mould along the driveway and wherever the plough piled up, and clear the beds. The first cut is usually the last week of April or the first week of May, once the grass hits about 4 inches. Sharpen the blade first or the tips shred and go white. More on this ›

May & JuneFastest growth

Cut weekly. Never take more than a third of the blade at once, and every-other-week cuts break that rule in May. Keep it around 3 inches. The spring feed goes down in May.

Watering: Guelph's bylaw (updated June 2026) goes by your address, odd addresses on odd dates and even on even, up to four hours, between midnight and 9 a.m. or 5 p.m. and midnight. Early morning is best. More on this ›

July & AugustHeat + dry spells

The lawn slows down and can go a bit dormant in a dry stretch. That's normal. Don't scalp it: keep it at 3 inches or a touch higher, and water deeply once on your day instead of a little every night. Every second week is often enough in mid-summer. More on this ›

Late Aug – SeptBest time to fix a lawn

Aerate, then overseed. The ground is still warm, the nights are cool and crabgrass is dying off, so new seed has its easiest start of the year. Keep it damp until it's up and give it the first cut at 3 to 4 inches. The City has given out permits for extra watering on new seed in past years, so check before you start. More on this ›

Oct & NovFall feed + last cut

The fall fertilizer is the most useful feed of the year. Keep the leaves off: a wet mat of maple leaves is where next spring's snow mould comes from. The last cut drops to about 2.5 inches so the grass doesn't mat under the snow, usually late October to mid-November. More on this ›

FAQ

Questions we get a lot

How much does lawn care cost in Guelph?

Weekly mowing in Guelph usually runs $40 to $70 a visit depending on the size of the lot, how much trimming there is and backyard access. Ours starts at $40, and that includes trimming, edging and blowing off the driveway and walks. Cleanups, aeration, seed and fertilizer are priced once we've seen the property.

Do I have to sign a contract?

No. You get a set rate and a set day of the week for the season. If you need to skip a week, tell us a day ahead and you won't be charged for it.

When does the first cut happen in Guelph?

Usually the last week of April or the first week of May, once the grass is about 4 inches tall. We do a spring cleanup first so the mower isn't running over sticks and leaves.

When should I overseed my lawn in Guelph?

Late August to mid-September. The ground is still warm, the nights are cooler and the crabgrass is dying off. Aerate first, then seed, then keep it damp until it comes up.

Can you spray my weeds?

Not with the old weed killers. Ontario banned cosmetic pesticides on home lawns. What actually works is a thick lawn cut at about 3 inches, fed twice a year and overseeded where it's thin, plus spot treatments that are allowed and hand-weeding in the beds.

How do I pay?

One invoice by email at the end of the month for that month's visits. E-transfer, cash or cheque.
