The Early Bird Gets The Perfect Lawn!

By: Shane Van Moorsel, March 26, 2025

Early Spring is the best time for spreading Lawn Seed to fill in those open areas that have been worn away during the winter months, to thicken up an existing area, or even in starting a new lawn.  These cooler temperatures help the seed through its dormancy and germinate quickly while the weather gets warmer. We carry the freshest Lawn Seed in town produced by the Ontario Seed Company. There are three varieties, one seed for Shady areas, one that is, by far, the best mix around, called the Supreme mix, and a third which is a more economical solution for large yards called the Economy mix.   We also carry an assortment of products for you to achieve your perfect lawn and these include:

GRUB CONTROL

LAWN GUARDIAN Beneficial Nematodes Covers 185-278 sq. metres, easy to apply with hose end sprayer
Help control June & Japanese Beetle, is also 100% safe for people pets and plants.
Beneficial Nematodes are resistant to most chemicals, fungicides and insecticides.  They are organic and live host raised making them naturally predisposed to pursue host grub larvae. This Canadian strain can tolerate cold temperatures so it can be applied in the spring and later in the fall when soil temperature is above 10°C and below 28°C for faster, longer grub control.  Ask one of our Team Members for availability beginning to mid May. 

Scott's Grub BGON Max 1.4kg - Covers up to 125m2 (1,345sq. ft)
Grub BGON Max is a granular insecticide that can be used to treat the lawn for Japanese beetle grubs.  It disrupts the nervous system of grubs so they stop eating and die off.  We should have the nematodes when soil temperatures warm up, but I'd recommend tackling this asap to prevent further damage.
