Edmonton Home Care Calendar
Month-by-Month Guide for Neighbours
Welcome to your friendly, year-round guide to keeping your Edmonton home and lawn in top shape. Whether you’re a green-thumbed neighbour or just keen on seasonal upkeep, this calendar will help you plan ahead, prioritize tasks, and enjoy the absolute best your yard can offer.
April: Spring Awakening
Spring Bagged Lawn Mowing
Kick-start the season with a thorough, bagged mow. Removing old debris and leaves preps your lawn for new growth and keeps things tidy.
Aeration
Core aeration releases winter compaction, boosts airflow, and helps water and nutrients reach the roots more effectively. Your lawn will breathe a sigh of relief!
Overseeding
Fill in bare spots with fresh grass seed. Overseeding after aeration ensures better contact and faster germination, resulting in a thick, resilient lawn.
Neighbourly Tip: April is when melting snow reveals the work ahead—walking the lawn to pick up twigs and litter sets the stage for a great season.
May: An Abundance of Growth
Weed Control
Early applications help prevent new weeds from establishing, giving your lawn a head start.
Liquid Fertilization
A custom-blended boost for hungry grass after winter, promoting lush, healthy growth.
Power Edging
Sharpen the lines along sidewalks and driveways for a crisp, professional look. It’s like a fresh haircut for your lawn!
Lawn Mowing
Weekly mowing encourages thickening and keeps things tidy as growth takes off.
Neighbourly Tip: Mow high to shade out future weeds and save moisture for summer’s heat.
June: Early Summer
Weed Control + Liquid Fertilization
Double down on proactive care for rich colour and thick turf.
Lawn Mowing
Regular trims help maintain your lawn’s best appearance and promote strong, deep roots.
Neighbourly Tip: Now’s the time to train those mowing lines—crisp, straight stripes are a point of pride!

Keep mowing high and don’t forget those tricky edges.
Drought-Resistant Fertilizer
A specialized formula helps grass stand tall when the weather turns hot and dry.

Stay vigilant as weeds tend to thrive in the summer.
Power Edging
Maintain those sharp borders for standout curb appeal.
Neighbourly Tip: Water deeply (before 10 a.m.) and less often to encourage deep roots and drought resilience.
August: Late Summer
Weed Control
Persistent touch-ups keep weeds from seeding for next year.

Fertilizer
Late-season nutrients support strong roots to carry your lawn through winter.
Mowing and Trimming
Consistent mowing ensures even coverage as growth slows.
Neighbourly Tip: Start dialling back mowing height for the final few cuts—slightly shorter grass helps prevent snow mould.
October: Season Wrap-Up
Aeration (If Not Done In Spring)
Fall aeration loosens the soil, allowing autumn rains and winter snow to soak in.
Bagged Lawn Mowing
A final mow and bag removes excess clippings and helps reduce spring thatch.
Overseeding
Fill in any bare patches so they’re ready to sprout in the spring.
Weed Control
Fall treatments combat stubborn weeds before they go dormant.
Neighbourly Tip: Remember to clear leaves and debris to prevent snow mould and create a clean slate for winter.
November to March: Winter Peace of Mind
Snow Removal
Professional, reliable snow clearing for walkways, driveways, and entries keeps your property safe and accessible.
Ice Management
Timely attention to icy patches helps prevent slips and meets municipal bylaw standards.
