Lawn Care Services

Mcleods Landscaping Solutions offers a variety of services including lawn mowing, garden design, tree trimming, and landscape installation.

 Yes, each service does a different job.

• Power raking removes dead thatch sitting on top of the soil.
• Aeration pulls cores from the ground to relieve compaction.
  Together they help your lawn breathe, absorb nutrients, and come in thicker for the season.

 The two best times for aeration in Edmonton and surrounding areas are:

• Spring (April–May)
• Fall (September–October)
  Clay-heavy soils in Alberta compact fast, so aeration improves drainage, deepens root growth, and boosts lawn health.

 Most Edmonton lawns benefit from 2–3 fertilizer applications per year:

• Spring to kickstart growth
• Early summer to maintain color
• Fall to strengthen roots before winter

Slow-release fertilizer is ideal for steady, even feeding.

Yes—overseeding with an Alberta-hardy seed blend fills bare spots, thickens thinning areas, and improves lawn density. Overseeding works best when paired with aeration so the seed can fall directly into the soil. 

Fall cleanup removes leaves that trap moisture and cause snow mold. A final mow, aeration (optional), and fall fertilizer help your lawn survive winter and come back greener and thicker in spring. 

Fertilizer: 7–14 days for visible color improvement

Overseeding: 10–21 days for sprouting

Full thickening: 3–6 weeks depending on watering and soil conditions
