Common Mistakes Homeowners Make With Saskatoon Lawn Care

A lot of homeowners try DIY Saskatoon lawn care, which is understandable. But small mistakes often add up over time.

One common issue is mowing too short during hot weather. Cutting grass low might seem like it reduces maintenance, but it actually increases stress on the turf. In Saskatoon’s dry summers, that stress shows quickly.

Another mistake is watering too often. Grass roots grow deeper when watered properly, not daily. Overwatering can lead to shallow roots and sometimes even fungal problems.

Here are a few other Saskatoon lawn care mistakes we see:

• Skipping aeration because the lawn “looks fine”

• Using fertilizer blends not suited for prairie conditions

• Waiting too long to treat weeds

• Overseeding at the wrong time of year

Good Saskatoon lawn care isn’t complicated, but timing and consistency really matter.
