Commercial Lawn Care: What Businesses Should Know

Written by Clare Ottenbreit | Oct 8, 2025 7:10:20 AM

When clients, tenants, or visitors arrive at your property, the first thing they see is your exterior, specifically, your lawn. A neglected landscape with patchy grass and weeds can leave a poor impression, while a green, healthy lawn sends a clear message: this business pays attention to detail. 

In fact, research shows that well-maintained commercial landscapes can increase property value and even influence customer perceptions of professionalism and trustworthiness. If you manage or own commercial property in Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, or Saskatoon, investing in professional commercial lawn care is a strong advantage.

Why Commercial Lawn Maintenance Matters

A commercial lawn is a living, breathing asset that enhances your brand image, supports employee well-being, and reflects the quality of your business. Keeping it in top condition takes more than just occasional mowing.

Here’s what proper commercial lawn maintenance can offer your business:

  • Professional appearance that welcomes customers and builds trust
  • Improved safety by keeping walkways clear of overgrowth and weeds
  • Healthier turf that resists pests and weeds long-term
  • Higher property value with curb appeal that stands out

Core Elements of a Commercial Lawn Care Program

Every property is unique, but the fundamentals of effective commercial lawn care include:

Fertilizer

Commercial lawns demand consistent nutrients. A customized fertilization schedule helps turf grow thick, green, and stress-resistant through Calgary’s challenging seasons.

Weed Control

Weeds compete with grass for space and nutrients. Our team uses targeted treatments backed by a Weed-Free Guarantee, ensuring your lawn stays clean and clear.

Aeration (Mechanical & Liquid)

Aeration breaks up compacted soil, allowing oxygen, nutrients, and water to reach the roots. We offer both mechanical aeration and liquid aeration to support soil health and turf density.

Slit-Seeding

Thin or damaged turf? Slit-seeding introduces new grass seed directly into the soil to improve coverage and enhance growth.

Hardscape Weed Control

For commercial properties with patios, sidewalks, or parking areas, we tackle hard-to-reach cracks and crevices to eliminate unsightly weeds and maintain a professional look.

Super Juice & Sea Kelp

These specialized treatments deliver a nutrient-rich boost, helping your turf recover from stress and stay resilient during harsh weather.

Chinch Bug Control

Pest issues? Chinch bugs are a common problem in prairie climates. Our treatments eliminate infestations and protect your lawn from ongoing damage.

Commercial Lawn Aeration: Why It’s Essential for Healthy Turf

Commercial lawn aeration is one of the most overlooked, yet most impactful services for your lawn’s long-term health. Soil on commercial properties becomes compacted quickly, especially in high-use areas like entranceways or walkways. This compaction limits root growth, reduces water absorption, and makes your lawn more susceptible to weeds.

We recommend:

  • Mechanical Aeration in early spring or fall to open up the soil.
  • Liquid Aeration as a low-disruption alternative for dense turf or areas that can’t be disturbed.

Both options enhance root development, improve water efficiency, and reduce surface runoff. It’s a big plus for environmentally conscious businesses.
