Yard Busters Landscaping Offers Lawn Care and More in Calgary

Yard Busters Landscaping, a yard care and landscaping services company in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, has announced that they are offering lawn care services in Calgary and neighbouring areas and that their weekly lawn mowing services will begin in mid-May. When people sign up for their lawn mowing service, they will visit the home of clients once a week to maintain their lawn, blow any accumulated debris from the common areas, and trim and edge around the perimeter. They also offer annual packages to allow homeowners to budget their yard care for the whole year. Their prices posted on the website are based on the typical 50 by 100 foot lot size in Calgary. Thus, their price may decrease or increase, depending on the actual size of the property.

Wayne Van Meter from Yard Busters Landscaping says, “With every weekly lawn service we change the direction of the lawn mowing when possible. By changing the direction of the lawn service we prevent tracks from developing in your lawn. Changing the lawn mowing direction also helps stimulate additional growth because the grass blade is constantly challenged with a new cut direction. By using our preferred method of maintaining your lawn, plus cutting at the correct height and feeding your lawn at the appropriate times you can help your lawn grow in a healthy direction.”

Their yard care services is made up of several categories. These include lawn mowing, power raking, top dressing, fertilizer and vegetation control, gardening, hedge and tree trimming, fall cleanup, snow clearing, acreage maintenance, and Christmas lighting. Lawn mowing services are available in annual, weekly, and bi-weekly packages.

Meanwhile, their power raking service is part of their spring cleanup service but may be ordered separately. Power raking is essential for the lawn because if left on its own, the organic material will continue to accumulate and prevent water from reaching the soil. A lawn with excessive thatch would have a reduced resiliency, which means it is weak and may easily succumb to disease. Power raking is different from simply pulling a rake over the lawn. A plastic rake will only be able to eliminate surface debris. And while a thatching rake will be better, it is physically demanding and can result into an injury if the homeowner’s body is not in good physical condition. The power rake machine is more efficient than a thatching rake and can perform the task in a much shorter time. It is capable of loosening the thatch layer and lift living and dead organic material from the lawn surface.

Their top dressing service is for the purpose of reintroducing decomposed organic matter to provide the soil with the necessary nutrients. It should be noted that over time, the soil loses nutrients and will stop generating healthy plant matter. With the company’s top dressing service, a thin layer of compost or garden mix is distributed evenly over the lawn or garden.

They also offer a fertilizer and vegetation control service. Through the application of certain chemicals, they can ensure steady growth of plant matter on the lawn all season long. They make use of slow release, granular fertilizers that will provide the lawn with a balanced diet of nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus, while also providing necessary micronutrients. They suggest three to four applications a year.

They also offer gardening services to ensure a steady and consistent growth of plant matter on the lawn. They do this by making sure that the lawn will receive the appropriate amount of food, oxygen, and sunlight. Meanwhile, they also provide hedge and tree trimming services.

Yard Busters Landscaping was established in 2002 by Wayne Van Meter.
