Grow a beautiful and climate-friendly yard this summer

Growing a healthy lawn that looks beautiful while helping the environment is a special joy, but can come with challenges. Here are some tips to getting that picture-perfect yard while staying climate conscious:

Consider including local plants in your yard, which can help encourage pollinators, and ensure your yard is resilient to local conditions.

Insects, weeds and diseases can threaten the health of your lawn. Pesticides are an important tool for protecting and keeping your lawn healthy. Any pesticides available for homeowners in stores have been approved by Health Canada for residential use.

Do your watering early in the morning to let everything sink down to the roots before the sun can dry things up. Waiting until the evening can leave your lawn more vulnerable to disease.

Lastly, rather than watering every day, encourage your plants to grow deeper roots by watering one to three times per week, which makes them hardier on those dry summer days.
