I want to be upfront with you before we go any further: I don’t install artificial grass. Cutting Edge Lawn & Landscaping doesn’t offer it as a service. So why am I writing this article? Because I get asked about it constantly. Every spring, at least a handful of homeowners bring it up on quote … Read more
I want to talk to you about something most people in Sudbury don’t realize until it’s too late in the season. There’s a window — roughly two weeks, usually sitting somewhere between mid-May and the end of May depending on the year — where the decisions you make about your lawn determine how it looks … Read more
I’m Ryan Lingenfelter — owner of Cutting Edge Lawn & Landscaping in Garson, Ontario. I want to tell you about a call I got in June from a homeowner in Chelmsford. She’d been fighting her lawn for three years. Thin grass. Browning out every July. Bare patches that kept coming back no matter what she … Read more
I’m Ryan Lingenfelter — owner of Cutting Edge Lawn & Landscaping in Garson, Ontario. I want to tell you about a property in Hanmer. The homeowner — I’ll call him Dave — called me in late April.

I’ve been working on lawns in Greater Sudbury since 2020. In … Read more
Every summer I get a version of the same question. A homeowner in Garson or Hanmer has watched their lawn go brown by mid-July two years in a row, and now they’re wondering if a sprinkler system is the answer. My honest response? Sometimes yes. Sometimes no. And the difference between those two answers usually … Read more
I’ll tell you something I notice on almost every property I walk for a quote. The lawn itself might be decent. The grass is green, it’s been cut reasonably often, there’s nothing catastrophically wrong with it. But it looks unfinished. Rough around the edges — literally. The grass is creeping over the driveway by two … Read more
I had a homeowner call me in late October a couple of years ago. She’d just spread an entire bag of grass seed across her backyard. The ground was cold. The nights were hitting -3 and -4 regularly. She wanted to know how long it would take to see results. I had to tell her … Read more
