The Environmental Benefits of Healthy Grass in Burlington
In Burlington, our outdoor spaces are more than just areas to relax and play—they play a crucial role in the health of our local environment.



DIY solutions for your Burlington lawn can be tempting. A quick online search for DIY weed control often leads to vinegar mixtures, dish soap concoctions, and plenty of hopeful experimentation. The problem? Most home remedies damage your grass long before they eliminate a single weed. Brown patches, stressed turf, and persistent weeds are common results, leaving homeowners frustrated and searching for a better solution.
That’s where professional lawn care in Burlington makes all the difference. Expert weed control services use regulated, effective products like Fiesta weed killer, applied with proper timing and technique to protect healthy grass while targeting problem weeds. By combining preventive care, seasonal fertilization, and tailored treatments, Burlington homeowners can enjoy a thicker, greener, and more resilient lawn all year round.

Since Dr. Green began serving Burlington in 1985, our full-service lawn care programs have been designed to work in harmony with the environment, not against it. Every treatment—from fertilization to aeration—builds on the last, creating a stronger, healthier, and more resilient lawn over time. This integrated approach ensures your Burlington turf withstands seasonal stress, resists weeds, and grows thicker, greener, and more vibrant throughout the year.
Water deeply and infrequently to encourage strong root systems.
Mow regularly, but never remove more than one-third of the grass blade.
Keep mower blades sharp to prevent tearing, which can invite disease.
Minimize walking on wet or freshly treated areas to avoid soil compaction.
Follow seasonal recommendations for fertilization, aeration, and overseeding.
Remove debris and fallen leaves promptly to improve sunlight penetration and airflow.
Choosing a professional Burlington lawn care service means fewer guess-and-check treatments, more visible results, and a lawn that looks healthier and more vibrant year-round. By combining our expert services with simple at-home habits, your lawn will reach its full potential and remain the envy of your Burlington neighbourhood.

When it comes to maintaining a lush, green lawn in Burlington, the battle against weeds can often feel like an endless struggle. As a homeowner,

If your once-beautiful lawn is starting to look more like a bad hair day than a lush green carpet, it might not be a watering

DIY solutions can be tempting, and we understand the appeal. A quick online search for DIY weed control often leads to vinegar mixtures, dish soap concoctions, and plenty of hopeful experimentation. The problem? Most home remedies damage your grass long before they eliminate a single weed. Burlington homeowners often learn this the hard way—brown patches, stressed turf, and weeds that return stronger than ever.
Professional Burlington weed control services use regulated, effective products like Fiesta weed killer, which target broadleaf weeds without harming healthy grass. Working with an experienced Burlington weed control company ensures proper timing, accurate application, and long-term results—not temporary fixes. Effective weed control in Burlington is about prevention, consistency, and understanding how local weeds behave throughout the season.

Two questions we hear most from Burlington homeowners are: How often can I fertilize my lawn? and When should I fertilize my lawn in spring in Canada? The answers depend on Burlington’s soil, grass types, and seasonal weather patterns.
In general:
Early Spring: Focus on root development.
Late Spring: Support strong top growth and vibrant colour.
Summer: Help turf handle heat and environmental stress.
Fall: Strengthen roots for winter survival and spring recovery.
Professional Burlington lawn care services remove the guesswork. Instead of over- or under-applying nutrients, you receive a carefully timed, seasonally optimized plan designed specifically for Burlington lawns.
Compacted soil is one of the main reasons Burlington lawns struggle, especially in areas with clay-heavy ground. Aeration is the key to allowing oxygen, water, and nutrients to reach the root zone where your grass needs them most.
Benefits of aeration and overseeding include:
Stronger root growth
Better fertilizer absorption
Reduced thatch buildup
Thicker, more resilient turf
We offer both core aeration and liquid aeration, depending on your lawn’s condition and goals. Pairing aeration with overseeding is one of the most effective ways to improve lawn density, fill in thin patches, and boost overall turf health—especially after hot Burlington summers.
*Core aeration is limited to select properties and available for lawns up to 9,000 sq. ft., typically offered in the fall. Additional conditions may apply.

For most lawns in Burlington, we recommend fertilizing 4–6 times per year, depending on your grass type and soil conditions. Our experts will create a custom schedule to keep your lawn healthy and green year-round.
Yes. At Dr. Green Services, we use environmentally conscious products, including organic options, to ensure your Burlington lawn is safe for children, pets, and the local ecosystem.
The ideal times are spring and early fall when temperatures are moderate, and the soil is moist. These treatments help strengthen roots, improve nutrient absorption, and fill in bare patches effectively.
Our team inspects your lawn regularly for signs of pests and applies targeted treatments to prevent damage. Early detection is key, and our Burlington pest management services are designed to protect your turf before infestations become severe.
