Lawn Care Tips for a Healthy, Green Yard in Newfoundland

A beautiful lawn doesn’t just add curb appeal—it adds value to your property. In Newfoundland, however, keeping grass green and healthy isn’t always easy. Long winters, salt air, and unpredictable weather can take their toll.

Here are our top lawn care tips to help homeowners and landlords keep their properties looking their best.

1. Mow Regularly (But Not Too Short)

Keep grass around 2.5–3 inches to promote root growth and crowd out weeds. Cutting too short weakens grass and leaves it vulnerable.

2. Fertilize Seasonally

Spring and fall are ideal times to fertilize. This replenishes nutrients after harsh winters and prepares lawns for growth cycles.

3. Control Weeds Early

Dandelions and clover spread fast. Regular mowing, hand-pulling, or safe treatments early in the season keep them in check.

4. Aerate and Overseed

Aeration allows oxygen and water to reach roots. Overseeding fills in bare spots, ensuring a lush, thick lawn.

5. Hire a Professional for Consistency

Life gets busy—missing even a few weeks of mowing or upkeep can undo months of progress. That’s where Home Base NL steps in.
