Lawn Care Services in Toronto

Elm Landscaping offers a wide range of lawn care services in North York, GTA, including lawn mowing, fertilization, aeration, overseeding, pruning, and garden maintenance services. Our professional horticulturists and gardeners are well-versed in advanced types of equipment and all lawn care needs.

Our residential and commercial lawn maintenance services start in early Spring. We begin with the fertilization process. Toronto’s weather in early April is perfect for overseeding when the days are warm but the nights are cool. We use the perfect blend of warm and cool season grasses to survive the changing climate. Lawn and garden maintenance in this season helps your lawn to bloom.

Our skilled horticulturists use sharp blades on well-maintained equipment to maintain a healthy, lush lawn. Adjusting the cutting height for different seasons is necessary to ensure your yard is not stressed out and dormant. Our lawn care experts know grass well and can help you design a mowing schedule that cuts your grass every 5 days in Spring when the grass is growing fastest and slows down to once a week in the Summer. We customize our lawn care services according to the needs of your lawn.

Lawn Maintenance Services We Offer

We offer a wide range of lawn maintenance services according to the needs of your lawn.


Lawn Mowing


Maintaining your lawn health and greenery requires consistent care throughout the growing period. A dense, healthy, high-quality lawn comes from proper mowing. Our lawn care service teams are familiar with the specific requirements of Toronto’s climate and soil, delivering unique and effective lawn-cutting services to enhance the beauty of your lawn.

The lawn mowing service includes removing obstacles and debris from the lawn to ensure a clear-cutting path. For perfect lawn cutting, we set the height of the mower based on the grass type and desired length. We use a trimmer or an edger to define the edges of your lawn for a neat appearance. We mulch the grass clipping to retain that vital 80% water and nutrients and reduce your lawn's water needs.

Our experts ensure a clean and uniform mowing, so whether you need a one-time mow service or want a customized lawn mowing plan, Elm Landscaping’s lawn care services have got you covered.

Lawn Fertilizing


Timing is essential in the lawn fertilizing process. Early spring and late fall are the best times to apply. Our fertilizing services are custom-designed according to the needs of your lawn for the duration of the changing seasons, ensuring it flourishes in every weather condition.

Our expert horticulturists have a vast knowledge of vitamins that stimulate strong grass growth and develop a dense, luxurious carpet of greenery. Hence, we use a balanced nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizer to fertilize lawns effectively. Plus, we use a spreader to apply fertilizer evenly to avoid uneven growth or burning.

Lawn fertilizing enhances your lawn’s health through herbal defenses, making it extra immune to weeds and pests. This method allows you to maintain the strength of your lawn and minimize the issues related to weeds and pests. In addition, we also offer treatments for crabgrass prevention and broadleaf weed control.

Aeration and Overseeding


Aeration has many benefits, as it counteracts the effects of soil compaction, allowing water, air, and nutrients to be more readily available to your lawn's root system. It also gives your lawn resistance against drought during the hot summer months. Aeration works very well with topdressing and overseeding. This procedure fills in small areas, promotes denser grasses, and complements your garden's aesthetic.

Grasses grow in different ways and require different growing conditions. Our experts assess the lawn condition, and based on their evaluation of the landscape, they decide when and how to aerate and overseed it.

The best time to apply this treatment is late April or early May so that any bare spots can be treated in the process. Our aeration and overseeding services are designed according to Toronto’s seasons. Our lawn care experts ensure your soil surfaces are smooth to maintain a neat appearance.
