Kensington Lawns

We are better & different. How? Aren't all lawn care companies the same?

When I started this company I had already worked for three other lawn car companies , one was Canada's largest-Yes I learned a lot. But I wanted my own company, to enjoy my work, take my time keep it small, where you, the client were not just a number. I wanted to be fully organic, pull weeds and offer more services like mowing, share my interest in turf. So I did it with the help of my team, we deliver value like no other-we mow, are all organic and both pull and spray weeds. We have decades of award winning experience, with the proper credentials, liability insurance, city permit, Ministry of Ontario license, criminal checked, with the highest level of education and research, no temp agency or sub contractors, world wide expert colleagues.

So, like they say, "You don't know what you don't know! We will share with you, our special ways, the unique and exclusive, Kensington Advantage: Our newsletters and website will keep you up to date on your lawn and our contacts will save you money. Our website will give you our terms and conditions plus the basics of lawn care. Our products, procedures, and billing are different. We only use the highest quality, organic products and procedures that are safe for people, pets and the environment. Our weed-pulling is 100% effective. We have always been organic, even before the 2008 provincial ban that brought public awareness of toxic pesticides. Summers are getting longer, hotter, and drier making it harder to have a nice lawn, so water and rain are vital! Climate change and the ban have changed how we care for your lawns. We do all this for you, Clients agree to all terms and conditions . All treatments are at our discretion.

Results: We establish and maintain a safe, thick, green, sustainable, organic lawn with as few weeds as possible. Your lawn needs one inch of water or rain per week. You or our crew maintain a 3-inch cut. You cannot mow a wet lawn, next dry day. We know what to add, when to add it, and how much to add.

Relax: So convenient. You save time, money, and energy. Enjoy your lawn and more of your summer. You don’t have to travel, drive, and park, going back and forth, to buy, store, and maintain a mower, trimmer, blower, fertilizers, spreaders, liquid weed controls, sprayers, tools, and weed pullers

Inform: We monitor and document your lawn each visit. We provide turf information and research.

Inspire: You will be glad to support healthy organics. We are honest, responsible, ecology stewards.

As always I recommend you shop and compare. Work with a company that's a good fit for you.

Thank you for the work, call me anytime, please not Sundays. 905 802 0158

The Essential Kensington Advantage Lawn Care Plan

The Essential Kensington Advantage Lawn Care Plan: Weed controls, fertilizers, assessments, and pH test, 5 Visits and 10 Treatments, Spring, Summer, and Fall

This is our basic lawn care plan for the average size property, 2,000 sq ft., and average conditions, only one prepaid payment of 349 plus HST 45.37 = 394.00
Or combine both mowing and lawn care (fertilizers & weed controls) and weekly mowing, for a blended monthly fee paid at month's end after the work is done. Example 2,000 sq. ft. mowing plus weed controls and fertilizers, 251 plus 32.89 HST = 284.00 per month.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS: Convenient and budget -friendly whether 4 or 5 weeks, it's the same monthly amount, whether we cut or not....why?

We are weather dependent, We can only mow dry grass. Mowing wet grass damages the lawn, just makes a big mess with deep ruts and clumps of clippings, that can suffocate the lawn. On average, during the 26 week season, grass grows 5 to 6 inches per month.

We will return next dry day, which requires more time usually requiring two cuts and bagging.

Cut and maintain 3 inch cut

Water one inch per week.

Finish all watering by 7am

We set the schedule and cannot call ahead.

Payment is due on receipt of invoice or with next 30 days, late fee 10, service suspended after 6 weeks

Any additional work outside the scope of the essential lawn care plan is extra, including leaf clean up. You set the standard, from good enough to golf course. L.O.L golf course maintenance averages 180,000 per hole per year!

Membership is limited. Do you need to know more? Do we need to know more? We adjust billing for late spring and early fall. Please e-transfer. Whether new or renewing, we do not start until we hear from you!

Ongoing Care for a Healthy Lawn

We start with the basic "or essential” lawn care plan, this is usually enough to establish and maintain a good lawn. We will recommend and discuss if more is needed. No more, good, better, best plans just get only what your lawn needs. Sometimes extra work may be needed to solve problems. We were always available to walk your property. We assess the lawn each visit.

EXPECTATIONS: YOU SET THE STANDARD FROM “GOOD ENOUGH TO GOLF COURSE STATUS”.

One season of lawn care is not enough. Lawn care is ongoing maintenance, Our applications are cumulative. Only new sod is perfect and weed-free. We can provide that sod service for you. No one can guarantee you 100% that your lawn will not suffer from weeds, insects, or diseases. You are wise to take action to increase the opportunity to succeed! We look for any invasive species, weeds, or insects.

DIYERS: PLEASE call before you do anything!..always do your research.

We try not to work on weekends, unless we get behind due to rain or stat holidays.
