Lawn Care in Moose Jaw

Weed Pro offers specialized weed control services in Moose Jaw designed to keep your lawn in the best shape possible. Our expert team uses environmentally safe, high-quality products to effectively eliminate weeds. With our commitment to excellence, you can enjoy a healthy lawn free from invasive plants and insects, like chinch bugs, all season long.

Here's what you can expect from our weed control service:

• Safety First: Our weed control treatments are safe for your pets and family once dry, typically within 2 hours of application. We ask customers to stay off the treated areas until then to ensure the best results.
• Certified and Trained Professionals: All of our pesticide applicators have undergone extensive training with the province of Saskatchewan, guaranteeing expert and responsible application of weed control products.
• Ongoing Maintenance for Effective Weed Control: Weeds can germinate and take root every 4-6 weeks, which is why a single application in the spring or summer is not sufficient to maintain a weed-free lawn throughout the growing season. If you sign up for one of our packages, we'll come at least three times throughout the season to ensure your lawn is free from weeds.
• Calibrated for the Weather: With so many windy days in the summer, we adjust our equipment to disperse larger droplets of weed control solution to prevent drift into your flower beds and gardens, ensuring that only your lawn is treated and your landscape is safe.
• Visible Results: You will start to see less resistant weeds limp or curl within a few days of treatment. In some cases, it can take up to two weeks for the weeds to show visible signs of decline. We ask for your patience during this period.
• Handling Resistant Weeds: Certain weeds in Moose Jaw, such as Creeping Bell Flower, Canadian Thistle, and Wild Violet, are more resistant and require multiple applications to control. Please call us if you notice these or any other weeds persisting 2 weeks after our first application. We welcome your feedback and will gladly retreat the area.
• Service Packages: We offer both one-time applications and comprehensive packages. While a one-time application can provide temporary relief, it does not guarantee long-term weed control, therefore we can't guarantee your lawn will be weed-free. On the other hand, our packages include three applications and reapplications as needed until the weeds are totally under control and you're completely satisfied.

At Weed Pro, we understand the importance of maintaining a healthy lawn. That's why we offer our aeration service to help you achieve the green, vibrant grass you desire. Our thorough process ensures that your lawn receives the care it deserves, setting it up for success and optimal growth throughout the growing season.

You can expect:

• Preparation and Confirmation: Once you schedule our aeration service, we plan each step to ensure a seamless experience for you. We confirm all details in the office and provide you with advance notice of our arrival to service your lawn.
• On-site Assessment: On the day of service, our dedicated team arrives at your doorstep, ready to aerate your lawn. We begin by knocking on your door and confirming any underground sprinklers that require special attention.
• Aeration: Using professional equipment, we aerate your lawn with care. Our technicians ensure every square foot of your lawn is aerated, allowing your grass to breathe and absorb essential nutrients for optimal growth.
• Optional Overseeding: If requested, we also offer overseeding services to enhance the density and resilience of your lawn. Learn more about our overseeding service.
• Post-Service Clean-up and Guidance: Once the aeration is complete, we tidy up any mess and leave you with clear instructions for watering your lawn. Our goal is to set you up for success, and we're committed to partnering with you to achieve a beautifully flourishing lawn.

The Best Time to Aerate Your Lawn

Choosing the right time for lawn aeration in Moose Jaw can significantly enhance the health and beauty of your grass. The optimal period is typically in August or September when grasses store energy in their roots for winter and root development peaks. Fall aeration also benefits from an operational sprinkler system, making it easier to mark sprinkler heads before treatment, ensuring minimal disruption to irrigation.

Spring is the second best time for aeration, preparing your lawn for summer by improving water penetration and managing thatch effectively. If your lawn hasn't been aerated in a while or shows signs of soil compaction, summer aeration can still be beneficial. Similar to golf courses that aerate frequently to manage heavy traffic, periodic summer treatments can revive compacted soil and stimulate root growth.

Weed Pro offers a simple, safe, and effective solution to chich bugs. By including season-long chinch bug control in every Fertilizer and Weed Control Package, we ensure that your lawn is protected from these destructive pests. Our proactive spring treatments prevent chinch bugs from causing damage, maintaining the health and beauty of your lawn throughout the season. This approach saves you from the reactive scramble of identifying and treating the problem after the damage has already occurred, which often allows the bugs to continue their destruction during the process.

Why Chinch Bug Control is Important

Since 2015, chinch bugs have become a big problem in Moose Jaw. These tiny beetles are hard to spot, but their damage is evident in lawns that turn white-grayish and appear dried up. There is an enzyme in a chinch bug’s saliva that kills the grass, causing significant damage if left untreated. Every lawn is now at risk annually, and without proper treatment, chinch bugs can decimate a lawn within weeks, regardless of other good lawn care practices.
