Since 1985, Dr. Green has been delivering professional lawn care services in Vaughan designed to work with nature — not against it. Our full-service programs combine fertilization, weed control, aeration, and lawn repair to build thicker, healthier turf over time. Each treatment supports the next, helping your lawn handle seasonal stress, resist weeds, and maintain strong colour throughout the year.
Seasonal Fertilization Programs
Targeted lawn fertilization provides the nutrients your grass needs at every stage of the season. Spring treatments encourage root growth, summer applications support heat tolerance, and fall fertilization strengthens your lawn heading into winter.
Weed Control Services
Our Vaughan weed control treatments target dandelions, clover, and other invasive weeds using approved products that eliminate weeds without damaging healthy grass.
Core & Liquid Aeration
Aeration reduces soil compaction, improves water absorption, and helps nutrients reach the root zone. We offer both core aeration and liquid aeration depending on your lawn’s needs.
Overseeding & Lawn Repair
Overseeding fills in thin areas and bare patches, improving lawn density, colour, and overall resilience — especially when paired with aeration and fertilization. It also helps crowd out weeds and restore a more even lawn.
Insect & Disease Protection
Preventative treatments help protect your lawn from damaging pests and turf diseases before they become larger problems. Early treatment minimizes damage and supports turf recovery.
Ongoing Lawn Monitoring
Our team monitors lawn health throughout the season, adjusting treatments as needed to keep your turf performing at its best. This ensures issues are addressed before they spread.
Water deeply, but less often, to encourage deeper roots
Mow regularly without cutting more than one-third of the blade
Keep mower blades sharp to prevent turf damage
Limit traffic on wet or treated lawns
Remove leaves and debris to improve airflow and sunlight


We understand how to effectively use Fiesta to control weeds while also protecting nature

Highly trained and skilled technicians apply targeted treatments for optimal results.

We stand behind our process and partnership. If you’re having trouble we’re here to help.

Natural lawn care solutions that support soil health, pest management and biodiversity.

DIY solutions can be tempting. We get it. A quick search for homemade weed killers usually leads to vinegar sprays and crossed fingers — but most home remedies damage grass before they eliminate the weeds. Without proper timing or formulation, results are often short-lived and inconsistent.
Broadleaf Weeds
Dandelions
Thistles
Dandelions, thistles, and similar weeds absorb treatments through their tap roots, making them highly responsive to professional applications.

Creeping Weeds
Wild Violet
Clover
Creeping Charlie
Creeping Charlie, wild violet, and clover require a more strategic approach, but can be effectively managed through consistent treatments and expert guidance.

Professional weed control services take a different approach. Regulated products like Fiesta weed killer target broadleaf weeds without harming healthy turf. Proper timing and application ensure more consistent control, delivering longer-lasting results focused on prevention — not just reaction.
Two of the most common questions we hear from homeowners are how often to fertilize a lawn and when the best time is to fertilize in spring in Canada. The answer isn’t one-size-fits-all. Proper lawn fertilization in Vaughan depends on soil conditions, grass type, property exposure, and seasonal growth patterns. Understanding the right timing — from early spring root development through fall root strengthening — ensures your lawn receives nutrients when it can use them most effectively, leading to thicker growth, deeper colour, and stronger overall turf health.
In general:
Early spring: Focuses on root development
Late spring: Supports top growth
Summer: Helps turf manage stress
Fall: Strengthens roots for winter survival
Professional lawn care services remove the guesswork from fertilization, ensuring nutrients are applied safely, effectively, and at the right time.
Compacted soil is one of the main reasons lawns struggle. Aeration addresses this by allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach the root zone.
Improved 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. Pairing aeration with overseeding fills thin areas and improves overall density, especially after summer stress.
*Core Aeration is limited to certain cities and is available up to a maximum of 9,000 sq. ft. total property size. Only available in the Fall. Additional conditions may apply.

If you live in Vaughan, you already know the struggle of keeping a lawn looking thick, green, and resilient. Unfortunately, the moment you let your

For homeowners in Vaughan, maintaining a lush, healthy lawn often feels like a constant battle against the local weed population. From the moment spring hits

Because we are a long-time Canadian company, we have always focused on safe, effective, and compliant solutions. In Vaughan and across Ontario, we use only natural, iron-based products that are approved by Health Canada. These treatments are safe for people and pets and work by targeting broadleaf weeds like dandelions and clover while leaving your turf healthy. However, the true secret to weed control is building a strong, thick lawn through our comprehensive fertilization and aeration services, which naturally crowd out weeds—a method we've perfected since 1985.
Grubs, which are the larvae of Japanese Beetles and European Chafers, are a significant problem in the Greater Toronto Area, including Vaughan. We highly recommend our preventative grub control service annually. We use a natural, biological control (beneficial nematodes) which are applied at the best time of year to target the grubs without harming your lawn, family, or pets. Our second-generation experience gives us deep knowledge of the specific pest cycles in the Vaughan climate.
A one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work for a healthy lawn, but typically, most Vaughan lawns benefit from 4 to 6 application visits spaced appropriately across the growing season (Spring, Early Summer, Late Summer, and Fall). Our programs are designed to perfectly time essential services like fertilization, natural weed control, and grub applications to match the specific needs of the season and local climate conditions. We build a custom program that’s right for your property.
Not at all! Our professional, fully certified technicians only need access to your lawn. We simply ask that you clear the lawn of toys and pet waste and ensure any gates are unlocked if we need access to the backyard. We pride ourselves on reliability and consistency, and you will always be notified when we're coming so you know exactly when to expect your service.
Liquid aeration is a lawn care technique that uses a special solution to loosen compacted soil, improve nutrient absorption, and enhance root growth without the disruption of traditional core aeration. For Vaughan lawns, where clay-heavy soils are common, liquid aeration helps increase oxygen, water, and fertilizer penetration, resulting in thicker, healthier, and more resilient turf. It’s an effective option for homeowners looking to improve lawn density and overall health with minimal downtime.
