Since Dr. Green first began serving Oakville homeowners in 1985, our full-service lawn care programs have been designed to work with the local environment—not against it. Every treatment we apply, from fertilization to aeration, is part of a carefully coordinated system that builds on the last. The goal is simple: a stronger, healthier, more resilient lawn that can handle Oakville’s clay-heavy soils, lake-effect weather, and seasonal stress. With our integrated approach, your turf becomes better equipped to resist weeds, recover from heat, and grow thicker, greener, and more vibrant year after year.
Choosing a professional lawn service Oakville homeowners trust means fewer guess-and-check treatments, more reliable results, and a lawn that stays healthier and more vibrant from spring through fall. By combining proven lawn care services with expert guidance and a few simple at-home habits, your lawn can reach its full potential and become a stand-out feature in your neighbourhood.

When it comes to a beautiful, healthy lawn, it’s easy to assume that all “lawn services” are the same. However, understanding the difference between lawn

If you’ve spent any time trying to keep a lawn healthy in Oakville, you already know one universal truth: weeds never take a day off.

DIY solutions can be tempting. We understand the appeal. A quick search for DIY weed killer ideas usually leads to vinegar mixtures, dish soap concoctions, and a whole lot of hope. The problem? Most home remedies damage your grass long before they eliminate a single weed. Oakville homeowners often learn this the hard way—brown patches, stressed turf, and weeds that come back stronger than ever.
Professional weed control companies use regulated, effective products like Fiesta weed killer, which targets broadleaf weeds without harming healthy turf. When you work with an experienced weed control company in Oakville, you get proper timing, accurate application, and long-term results—not temporary fixes. Effective weed control Oakville homeowners trust is about prevention, consistency, and knowing how local weeds behave throughout the season.
Dandelions, thistles, and other broadleaf weeds:
Fiesta weed control is highly effective on these because they have centralized taproots that readily absorb the product. With the right techniques and timing, these weeds don’t stand a chance against our expertise.
Creeping Charlie, wild violet, and clover:
These aggressive spreaders are tougher to control, but with our comprehensive programs and ongoing guidance, we manage them effectively and help restore healthier turf over time.
Two of the most common questions we hear are: How often can I fertilize my lawn? and When should I fertilize my lawn in spring in Canada? The answers depend on Oakville’s unique soil conditions, grass varieties, and seasonal weather patterns.
In general:
• Early spring fertilization focuses on root development.
• Late spring treatments support strong top growth and colour.
• Summer applications help turf handle heat and stress.
• Fall fertilization strengthens roots for winter survival and spring recovery.
Professional lawn care services take the guesswork out of fertilization. Instead of over- or underapplying nutrients, you get a carefully timed, seasonally optimized plan tailored to Oakville’s environment.
Compacted soil is one of the main reasons Oakville lawns struggle—especially in neighbourhoods with clay-heavy ground. Aeration is the solution, allowing oxygen, water, and nutrients to penetrate 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 lawn overseeding is one of the most effective strategies for improving density, filling in thin patches, and boosting overall lawn health—especially after hot Oakville summers.
*Core Aeration is limited to select cities and available for properties up to 9,000 sq. ft. Only offered in the fall. Additional conditions may apply.

Most Oakville lawns benefit from 4–6 fertilizer applications per season, spaced strategically from early spring through late fall. This timing ensures the grass receives steady nourishment while building year-round resilience.
Not at all. Our weed control applications are targeted specifically at unwanted broadleaf weeds and are designed to protect the surrounding turf. They work alongside your fertilization plan without affecting soil quality.
Oakville’s clay-heavy soil and shade from mature trees often lead to thinning, compacted, or stressed patches. Fertilization, aeration, and proper turf care help strengthen these areas and promote more uniform growth.
Yes. We use approved, regulated products and clear application procedures. We’ll let you know exactly when it’s safe to re-enter the lawn—typically once the product has dried.
Most homeowners see improved colour and density within a few weeks. Full transformation depends on existing conditions, soil health, and consistency of treatments, but steady progress is always the goal.
