Sherbrooke & the Eastern Townships
A property is won in April and lost in November
Everything that happens to a lawn between June and September was decided at the opening and the closing. That is where we put the work — and it is why the summer looks after itself.

The opening
Light dethatching, plow gravel and salt cleared from the roadside strip, beds reopened, winter protection removed.
The season
Mowing at a height that shifts with the month, edges trimmed, beds weeded, hedges cut once the growth flush is over.
The closing
Two or three leaf passes, perennials cut back by species, cedars staked and wrapped, water drained and stored.
What we do
Seven services, one continuous season
They are listed separately because they get quoted separately. In practice they run into each other — what the opening leaves undone, the closing pays for.
Spring opening
The cleanup that wakes the property up: light dethatching, winter debris removal, repair of plow damage along the street and garden beds put back in order.

Fall closing
Getting the property ready for winter: a final full cleanup, perennials cut back, cedars and fragile shrubs protected, irrigation drained and put away.

Lawn mowing
Regular mowing at a height that changes with the season, string-trimmed edges and every hard surface blown clean after each visit.
See the details →
Leaf removal
Blower and vacuum across lawn, beds and edges, with everything hauled away rather than simply pushed to the back of the lot.
See the details →
Garden beds and mulch
Hand weeding, spade-cut edges, mulch topped up to the right depth, and shrub collars freed from the layers buried by previous applications.

Fertilizing and weed control
A fertilizer program built around the Eastern Townships calendar, with weed control that complies with Quebec's pesticide management code.

Shrub and hedge trimming
Cedar hedges and ornamental shrubs trimmed at the right time of year, clippings fully collected and live wood respected.

We work by the ground, not by the calendar
A fixed-date route is a logistics decision, not an agronomic one. Pushing a rake across saturated soil in April tears out living crowns; mowing at the same height in July as in May cooks the lawn. Both mistakes are invisible on the day and obvious two months later.
- The heel test decides the opening date, property by property
- Never more than a third of the blade height removed in one pass
- Three different cutting heights across the season, not one
- Work postponed on soaked ground — the price never changes
- Green waste leaves the property, never piled at the back of the lot

Reviews
What clients say a season later
The spring opening happened on April 22nd, before I even thought to call. The plow gravel was gone, the street edge repaired, and the lawn had colour back within three weeks.
They refused to mow at two inches like I asked and explained why. I found that pretty forward at the time. By August mine was the only green lawn on the street.
My lot is wooded and I was losing grass every year. They changed the cutting height and turned two sections into garden beds. The problem got fixed, not hidden.

Exactly when to open up your property in the Townships
Too early and you tear out living grass. Too late and snow mould has already done its work. The reliable marker is not a date, it is how the ground feels underfoot.
Spring raking does more damage than people think
Raking hard on a soaked lawn pulls the crowns out along with the thatch. Here is how to gauge the pressure and spot the patches already lost.

Nine tasks, in a specific order. The ones people skip always come back as a bill the following spring.
