We are a local company,
so you won’t have to deal with a call centre.
I can’t keep up with the weeds anymore! We have the worst lawn on the block. At Weed Patrol, we understand your frustration with weeds on your lawn. You tried picking, spraying and digging out the weeds, only to have more appear, often by the next mowing. We’re here to help and can usually start service the same week you call!
Weed Control
Commercial grade weed control is only available from professional lawn care service companies.
You’ve done the right thing by seeking professional help for your lawn. As of 2010, Weed and Feed is no longer available in the province of Alberta. You now need to choose a professional lawn care service to control weeds on your lawn. Commercial-strength weed control cannot be purchased at home renovation stores or garden centers.
The weed control still available in box stores does not work and can be confusing. You must know what type of weed killer to apply where, when to use it, and how to mix it properly, only to be frustrated with the results. A common mistake we see is applying a non-selective weed control like Roundup to control dandelions, thistles, chickweed, and clover. Weed Patrol Lawn Care employees have the training, certification and licensing to know what strength, how much, and what type of weed control to apply to the weeds on your lawn safely. Alberta Environment requires us to take several credit courses every year to responsibly apply weed control with the minimum compromise to the environment.

Lawn Care Program
Our most popular lawn care program consists of five weed control and fertilizer applications from spring to fall. We apply fertilizer and weed control at each application. Your lawn receives 10 treatments throughout the season. We provide the best value lawn care program in Edmonton! We use commercial-grade weed control that can only be bought with a professional license. It’s not weed control you can buy at Home Depot. We safely spray the maximum strength to kill weeds quickly and never water down our weed control. We use only liquid fertilizer, which requires much less watering than granular fertilizer. Liquid fertilizer is gentler and safer on all paws.
We blend our lawn fertilizer weekly to adjust for the time of season and the current weather, whether cold or wet, hot or dry, resulting in a greener lawn.
Weed Patrol notifies all customers by email the day before each application, and we’ll accommodate your mowing company’s schedule. We flag both the front and the back yard with a lawn sign so you know all areas were treated. The whole yard will be sprayed, and any boulevards and the stripe behind the fence along an alley if there is access. After finishing your lawn, we’ll send you an after-service email with mowing and watering instructions.

Fertilizer
Applying the correct fertilizer to your lawn is
an important part of weed control.
A thick, healthy lawn is the best defence against future weeds. A thin lawn is like an open garden space where weed seeds can quickly germinate. Our liquid fertilizer is of professional quality and enriched with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Nitrogen is considered the most essential part of greening. By adding micronutrients, we feed the grass and soil, too. Liquid fertilizer dries very quickly, usually less than an hour, which means very little time before children and pets can be back playing on the lawn.

How often to you do apply the weed control?
With 5 applications, your grass is treated for weeds and fertilized approximately every 4-5 weeks over the growing season. A typical season is May to September/October depending on the weather. We automatically schedule all visits and we’ll notify you by email the day before service.
Should I cut the lawn before you do an application?
The recommended mowing height is 2 ½-3”. This is usually the second highest setting on your lawn mower. This is the ideal height for treating weeds and the height your grass will also look it’s greenest. Weed control is absorbed through the leaves of the weed and not the roots so cutting any shorter will reduce the results of the weed control.
How long should I keep my pet off the lawn?
It typically takes about one hour to dry. Depending on the temperature and wind conditions on the day of your application, we recommend keeping pets off the lawn until dry, which is usually about an hour.
Do I actually need that many (5) applications?
Yes. Not all weeds germinate first thing in the spring-May is the first bumper crop of dandelions followed by a second crop in June. In July, August and September chickweed, clover and thistle become the problem weeds for most homeowners. Typically new weeds grow about every 4 weeks your first year on the program. The good news is by the end of the season you will be weed free and you’ll start the following spring with a beautiful lawn. We just need to go through this process the first year.
I just picked out the weeds myself?
Picking the weeds is not a good idea as you cannot get the whole root of the plant especially for chickweed, clover and thistle which have an extensive root system. Weed control must be applied directly to the leaves of the weed to be effective. We must wait for the weed to regrow , usually a week, before we can effectively kill it.
Weed Patrol has a 5 application program of fertilizer and weed control for you lawn. Let us take care of your lawn and all you need to do now is mow and add water when dry.
