Transform Your Toronto Lawn This Summer with Expert Tips & Sustainable Trends

1. Smart Watering Strategies

• Water deeply—and early: Toronto experts recommend watering your lawn before 8 a.m., 1 to 2 times per week. Aim for around 2.5 cm (1 inch) weekly to encourage deep root growth and drought resilience. Oasis Lawns+3Concrete Vector+3Lawrence Park Complete Garden Care+3City of Toronto+1Real Simple+1

• Use the bounce-back test: Walk on your grass and see if it rebounds within 30 minutes—if not, it’s time to water. Homes and Gardens

• Avoid overwatering: Look out for soggy patches, fungal growth, or thinning grass—and water only when necessary. Southern Living

2. Mowing & Maintenance Best Practices

• Raise mower blades: Cutting higher (about 3.5–4 inches) helps shade roots and reduce heat stress. Keep blades sharp to ensure clean cuts. The SunReal SimpleThe Times of India

• Skip mowing wet grass: Wait at least 24 hours after rain or watering to prevent turf damage and disease. Southern Living+1Southern Living+1

• Use clippings to mulch: Leave grass clippings on the lawn—they decompose naturally, conserve moisture, and feed your soil. City of Toronto

3. Sustainable & Trendy Landscaping Ideas

Toronto homeowners are embracing eco-conscious practices:

• Native and drought‑tolerant planting: Species like coneflower, serviceberry, and switchgrass deliver low-maintenance beauty and wellness for pollinators. City of Toronto+6Lawrence Park Complete Garden Care+6Dependable Lawn Care+6
