Loyal Sudbury homeowner welcoming lawn care crew back for another spring season

Every spring, usually sometime in the last week of April or the first week of May, I get a text from a homeowner in the Sudbury area. Same person, every year.

Struggling lawn with persistent bare patches on a Garson Ontario residential property

There’s a property in Garson I worked on for two full seasons before I finally understood what was actually happening.

Residential street in Sudbury Ontario showing different lawn conditions

There’s a street in Greater Sudbury — I won’t name it specifically, but it’s a residential road with about a dozen properties on it — where I’ve been cutting multiple lawns since I started this business.

I’ve been working in Garson since I started this business, and over the years you notice things. Which properties are consistent.

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
