I get this question more than you’d think — usually from people who’ve tried calling other lawn companies and either got a voicemail that was never returned or an answering service that couldn’t actually tell them anything useful. So I want to answer it properly. Not with a generic “contact us” page, but with a … Read more
After every sod installation we do in Greater Sudbury, the first question I get — usually within a day or two — is some version of: “How long until it’s rooted? When can we walk on it? Is it supposed to look like this?” All fair questions. New sod is an investment and people want … Read more
Every summer around mid-July, I start getting the same calls.

I’m driving down a street in Garson, and out of the corner of my eye I catch something green. Really green. The kind of green that doesn’t look normal in a neighbourhood where most lawns are patchy and struggling. I pulled over my truck. Honestly, I didn’t even think about it — I just stopped. … Read more
I’m Ryan Lingenfelter — owner of Cutting Edge Lawn & Landscaping in Garson, Ontario.
