I’ve been working on properties across Greater Sudbury since 2020. In that time I’ve maintained lawns next to gravel driveways and lawns next to interlock driveways, I’ve watched both types go through six Sudbury winters, and I’ve had a lot of conversations with homeowners on both sides of the decision — some who made the … Read more
Corner lots come up in my work more often than you’d expect. Not because they’re unusual — there are plenty of them across Greater Sudbury — but because they consistently present a specific set of maintenance challenges that standard lawn care doesn’t fully address, and most corner lot owners either don’t realize the difference or … Read more
Before I started Cutting Edge Lawn and Landscaping in 2020, I was a Sudbury homeowner who hired a landscaping company and had a bad experience. Not a dramatic one — nobody stole anything, nobody did anything dishonest in an obvious way. It was the slower, quieter kind of bad experience that’s actually harder to describe … Read more
I got a call last summer from a homeowner in Azilda who was confused and frustrated. She’d been watering her lawn every single day since early June — sometimes twice a day during the hottest stretches — and the lawn was getting worse, not better. Patches that had looked thin in spring were now fully … Read more
Last spring I got a call on a Wednesday afternoon from a homeowner in Val Caron. His realtor had scheduled listing photos for Friday morning. He’d been so focused on the interior of the house — cleaning, staging, minor repairs — that the lawn had completely slipped his mind until the realtor walked through the … Read more
Every July I get at least a handful of calls from Sudbury homeowners who are convinced their lawn is dead. The lawn is brown. Not patchy brown — fully brown, the kind where you walk across it and the grass crunches underfoot and there’s no green visible anywhere in the full-sun sections. They’ve already started … Read more
Last season I got a call from a homeowner in Val Caron who had put off lawn care for longer than she’d planned to. Not through neglect — through a difficult year where the lawn was simply not at the top of the list. By the time she called me, the property needed aeration, overseeding, … Read more
I’ve worked on a lot of Sudbury properties that share a fence line or a property line with another property I’ve also worked on. Sometimes in the same season. Sometimes one after the other on the same morning. And the thing that still catches me, even after 300-plus properties, is how different two lawns can … Read more
I’ve quoted over 300 properties across Greater Sudbury since 2020. Garson, Val Caron, Hanmer, Lively, Chelmsford, Azilda, Capreol — properties that range from a small city lot that takes twenty minutes to cut to large rural parcels with Shield outcroppings, drainage channels, and sections that haven’t been touched in years. Early on, I treated every … Read more
I’ve been quoting lawn care jobs in Sudbury since 2020. Early on, I quoted the way most companies quote — I’d hear what the person wanted, look at the property, estimate the work, and give a number. The number was usually accurate for the work described. The relationship that followed wasn’t always what either of … Read more
