By Ryan Lingenfelter — Owner, Cutting Edge Lawn & Landscaping · Garson, Ontario · Serving Greater Sudbury since 2020 Most people hiring a lawn care company in Sudbury ask about price first. That’s understandable — price matters, and nobody wants to overpay. Some ask about scheduling, about what’s included, about whether they do spring cleanup … Read more
She called me in late May. Not to hire me — she was pretty clear about that upfront. She wanted a second opinion. Her lawn had been frustrating her for three years despite what she described as significant effort, and a neighbour had suggested she call me and just talk it through before spending any … Read more
When I pull up to a property in Greater Sudbury for the first time — whether it’s a quote visit, a new customer, or a property I’ve been referred to — I’m reading the lawn before I get out of the truck. By the time I’ve walked from my vehicle to the front door, I’ve … Read more

Buying your first home in Greater Sudbury is exciting. You’re walking through properties, imagining your furniture in the living room, thinking about what you’ll do with the backyard. And your realtor is doing their job — pointing out the roof, the windows, the age of the furnace. Nobody is looking at the yard and asking … Read more
