Keeping your lawn green and healthy in Regina isn’t always easy. Our hot, dry summers and heavy clay soil create the perfect conditions for weeds like dandelions, clover, and chickweed to take over.
The good news? With the right lawn care habits and timely weed control, you can stay ahead of them.
Below are simple, practical lawn care tips that work well in Regina’s climate.
Always keep your grass about 7–8 cm (around 3 inches) tall. Taller grass:
Develops deeper roots
Shades the soil
Makes it harder for weed seeds to grow
Avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass height at once.
Instead of watering a little every day, water deeply once every 7–10 days.
Deep watering:
Strengthens grass roots
Keeps surface soil drier
Reduces weed germination
Early morning or early evening is the best time to water.
Fertilizing in spring and fall helps grass grow thicker and stronger.
You can also leave grass clippings on the lawn — they act as a natural fertilizer and return nutrients to the soil.
Compacted soil and bare patches invite weeds.
Aerating your lawn in spring or fall helps water and oxygen reach the roots.
Overseeding thin areas fills gaps so weeds have no room to grow.
Hand-pulling works best when weeds are young.
After rain or watering, soil is softer and roots come out more easily.
Always remove the entire root, especially for dandelions.
Once weeds flower, they spread fast.
Pull or remove them before they produce seeds — this alone can drastically reduce future weed problems.
Mulch in garden beds and along edges blocks sunlight and prevents weed growth.
It also helps soil retain moisture during dry Regina summers.
Selective lawn-safe herbicides can control broadleaf weeds without harming grass — when used correctly.
Fall is often the most effective time to treat weeds like dandelions because they absorb treatments into their roots.
Avoid spraying during extreme heat or windy days.
Vinegar, salt, or boiling water may sound natural, but they:
Kill grass along with weeds
Can damage soil
Are best kept for cracks or gravel areas
For lawns, proper maintenance and targeted treatments work better.
Even with good lawn care habits, some Regina lawns need extra help — especially when dealing with stubborn weeds, compacted soil, or ongoing maintenance challenges.
