What types of weeds are most common in Ontario lawns?

Broadleaf weeds like dandelions, thistle, and plantain are frequent in this region and compete directly with turfgrass for sunlight and nutrients. Our lawn care and targeted treatments focus on controlling these weeds while supporting healthy grass growth.

Are your treatments safe for families and pets?

Yes. We carefully select products and apply them responsibly to protect people, pets, and the environment. Following simple safety guidelines, such as keeping off the lawn until treatments have dried, ensures a safe experience.

How long until I see results?

Most homeowners notice visible improvements within one to three weeks after treatment, though results can vary depending on weed type, lawn health, and weather conditions. Ongoing seasonal care helps make improvements more consistent.

What is the best weed control for lawns?

For Ontario lawns, a selective broadleaf treatment like Fiesta weed killer paired with a strong lawn care routine is highly effective. Fiesta targets weeds without harming grass and works best when applied to actively growing weeds, typically with more than one application per season. Combining this with proper mowing, fertilization, and watering ensures the strongest defense against unwanted plants.

Can weed treatments be combined with other lawn care services?

Yes. Combining weed treatments with regular lawn care, such as fertilization, aeration, overseeding, and soil amendments, creates a more resilient lawn that is less prone to weed invasion. Integrating treatments into your seasonal program also reduces the need for spot interventions and ensures a thicker, healthier lawn that can naturally suppress future weed growth.
