Every few months I have a conversation with a homeowner who has recently moved to Sudbury from somewhere else in Ontario — Toronto, Hamilton, Barrie, Kitchener — and they’re frustrated. They did everything right. They followed the lawn care advice they’d always followed. They bought the same products, used the same schedule, applied the same … Read more
“Lawn care near me.” It’s the most common way people start looking for a lawn service in Greater Sudbury, and I understand why — it’s fast, it’s immediate, and it produces a list of options with ratings and photos right there on your phone. The problem is that what shows up in that search is … Read more
September is the most important month in the Sudbury lawn calendar. It’s also the month where I see the biggest gap between what people’s lawns actually look like and what they could look like if the right work had happened. I want to walk through that gap directly — the reality versus the ideal — … Read more
There’s a category of lawn problem that’s genuinely hard to find — not because it requires exotic equipment or rare expertise, but because it doesn’t show up in the places most contractors look. It shows up in the places most contractors don’t look at all. This story is about one of those problems. A property … Read more
I want to say something upfront that a lawn care company probably isn’t supposed to say: not everything in your yard needs a professional.

When I tested the … Read more
When I started Cutting Edge Lawn & Landscaping in May 2020, I did what most people do when they want to learn something quickly: I watched a lot of YouTube. Lawn care channels, landscaping content, turf management videos — hours of it, through the winter before my first season and into the early months of … Read more
Most of my client relationships start with a conversation about what the homeowner wants and what they’re willing to spend, and we work from there to find the right scope and approach. That’s the normal version. This one started differently. The call came from a man named Robert, a property owner in Garson who was … Read more
Most lawn mistakes are obvious fairly quickly. You cut too short and the lawn browns within days. You skip watering after sod installation and it starts dying within a week. You ignore a drainage problem and the same patch fails again by summer. But there’s one mistake I see repeatedly across Greater Sudbury that doesn’t … Read more
I work across all of Greater Sudbury — Hanmer, Val Caron, Chelmsford, Lively, Azilda, Capreol, Garson, and the city proper. And after five years of doing assessments on residential properties across this whole region, I can tell you with confidence: the lawns in the communities outside the city centre behave differently from the ones inside … Read more
