Your lawn isn’t just grass—it’s a big part of your home’s outdoor space. Whether you enjoy summer barbecues, watching the kids play, or simply sitting outside with a coffee, your yard should feel like a little retreat. But have you noticed it’s getting harder to keep your lawn green and healthy? Climate change could be the reason.
With weather becoming more unpredictable and extreme, lawns across Canada are struggling. If your yard isn’t looking the way it used to, you’re not alone—and we’re here to help you take control of it.
More Heat, More Problems for Grass
Let’s start with the obvious: it’s getting hotter. In many parts of Canada, summer days are lasting longer and feeling more intense. That might sound great for beach weather but not so much for your lawn. Grass isn’t built for extreme heat, especially cool-season types like Kentucky bluegrass or fescue, which are common in Canadian yards.
Hotter temperatures can:
- Dry out the soil faster
- Make grass turn brown and brittle
- Increase the need for water
- Stress out your lawn even with regular care
Our lawn care team knows how to adjust your to suit today’s hotter climate, including choosing the right grass type and watering schedule.
Weeds and Pests Love This Weather
You might’ve noticed more weeds or strange bugs in your yard lately. That’s not your imagination. Climate change is making it easier for:
- Invasive weeds to spread
- Lawn pests like mosquitoes, grubs and bugs thrive
- New plant diseases to take hold
The Growing Season Is Changing
Back in the day, you could count on spring lawn care starting around the same time every year. Now? It’s a guessing game. The growing season is longer but less predictable.
This shift means:
- The grass may start growing earlier or later in the season
- Weeds get a head start
- Fall care may be needed later than usual
Soil Is Taking a Hit
Healthy lawns need healthy soil. However, constant changes in temperature and rainfall can damage your soil’s structure. Over time, this leads to:
- Compaction that stops roots from growing
- Poor drainage
- Less nutrient-rich soil
