By Ryan Lingenfelter · Cutting Edge Lawn & Landscaping, Garson, Ontario · June 2026 Most of what I talk about in lawn care is about the grass itself — what it needs to grow, how to manage it through Sudbury summers, what goes wrong when the basics aren’t right. But there’s a landscaping principle I … Read more
By Ryan Lingenfelter · Cutting Edge Lawn & Landscaping, Garson, Ontario · June 2026 In six seasons of working lawns across Greater Sudbury, I’ve come to think of late May as a single window — not a period, not a season, but a specific window that opens and closes faster than most homeowners realise. What … Read more
I want to tell you about a small change I made somewhere around year two of running Cutting Edge Lawn & Landscaping that turned out to matter more than almost anything else in how I approach a new property. It’s not a diagnostic tool or a new piece of equipment. It’s a single question I … Read more
By Ryan Lingenfelter — Owner, Cutting Edge Lawn & Landscaping · Garson, Ontario · Serving Greater Sudbury since 2020 I’ve walked a lot of properties in Greater Sudbury. Most initial visits follow a similar rhythm — I arrive, introduce myself, walk the lawn, ask a few questions, form an assessment. The homeowner tells me what … Read more
One of the most common questions I get when someone is planning a sod installation or a larger lawn project is some version of: “What do you charge per square foot?” It’s a reasonable question.

I get the same theory from homeowners almost every August, and I understand why they land on it. “It’s the heat, right? It just gets too hot and dry for the grass and that’s why it goes patchy.” Heat plays a role. I won’t pretend it doesn’t. But after walking hundreds of Sudbury properties every … Read more
Every couple of summers, Sudbury gets a real dry stretch. Three, four, sometimes five weeks with little to no rain. And every time it happens, I notice the same thing driving around to job sites: some lawns turn brown and crispy within days. Others — sitting right next door, same sun exposure, same general climate … Read more
This question comes up almost every time I quote a lawn that’s in mixed condition — some sections healthy, some sections dead, and the homeowner standing there asking the obvious question. “Can we just sod the bad parts and seed the rest? Do we really need to do the whole thing the same way?” It’s … Read more
July is the month that tells the truth about a lawn. Anybody’s grass can look decent in May. The snow just melted, everything’s coming back to life, and a lawn that’s been completely neglected for years can still look passable for a few weeks. July is different. By the time we’re a few weeks into … Read more
