Sustainable Lawn Care Is Changing How Saskatchewan Lawns Stay Green

For years, lawn care was all about more — more fertilizer, more weed control, more products. But newer turf research is showing that healthy lawns actually start below the surface, in the soil. When soil biology improves, grass roots grow deeper, nutrients are used more efficiently, and lawns naturally become more drought tolerant.

Simple changes like mowing a little higher, aerating compact soil, and avoiding unnecessary chemical overload can make a big difference over time. Lawns that are managed this way often stay greener longer and recover faster from stress, even during tough prairie summers.

At Custom Lawn Care, our programs focus on building strong soil first, because a lawn that’s healthy underneath usually looks better on top too. Sustainable lawn care isn’t about doing less — it’s about doing the right things at the right time.
