I drove past three properties in Val Caron last week. All three had the same thing going on — grass that looked decent a month ago is now starting to thin out, go a bit pale in spots, and in one case there were already small dry patches forming along the edges of the lawn … Read more
I’m Ryan Lingenfelter — owner of Cutting Edge Lawn & Landscaping in Garson, Ontario. A homeowner in Garson called me last July. He wasn’t calling because his lawn was dead. He was calling because he was frustrated. His lawn was mediocre — thin in spots, browning out through the dry stretch, not what he wanted. … Read more
I’m Ryan Lingenfelter — owner of Cutting Edge Lawn & Landscaping in Garson, Ontario. I want to tell you about a street in Hanmer. Three houses in a row. Same builder, same year, same soil underneath, same Sudbury winters. One lawn looks genuinely excellent — thick, green, the kind of lawn you notice when you … 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.

I’m going to tell you something I don’t usually lead with when I’m on a quote call. Before I started Cutting Edge Lawn & Landscaping, I had a lawn that looked embarrassing. Not a little rough around the edges. Actually bad. Thin in patches, weeds everywhere, brown stretches through July that I couldn’t explain. I … Read more
Every spring I get a version of this question at least a dozen times. “Ryan, should I aerate in spring or fall? My neighbour says fall. My brother-in-law says spring. I’ve read three different things online and none of them agree.” I’m Ryan Lingenfelter, owner of Cutting Edge Lawn & Landscaping in Garson, Ontario. Since … Read more
