If you own a home or manage a commercial property in Calgary, you already know what winter leaves behind, going into spring.
Gravel in the grass. Salt damage. Matted turf. Broken branches. Compacted soil. Parking lots full of sand.
At Algo Landscaping, we don’t treat spring clean-ups like a quick rake-and-go service. We treat them like the foundation for the entire season.
Because spring sets the tone for:
- Lawn health
- Curb appeal
- Weed control
- Drainage
- And ultimately… property value
And if you’re serious about maintaining your asset properly in 2026, this is where it starts.
What a Real Spring Clean-Up Should Include
Too many companies rush this. We don’t.
Here’s what we’re doing across Calgary right now:
1. Full Property Debris Removal
- Leaves, branches, winter buildup
- Gravel pushed back from turf edges
- Garden beds cleaned and redefined
2. Power Raking (If Needed)
Removes that thick layer of thatch that suffocates your lawn after winter.
3. Core Aeration
Calgary soil gets compacted — especially after freeze/thaw cycles. Aeration:
- Improves oxygen flow
- Allows fertilizer to actually work
- Encourages deeper root growth
4. Overseeding
Thin lawn? High-traffic areas?
We reinforce density early before weeds take over.
5. Granular Fertilizer Application
Not the cheap stuff. Proper seasonal blend to kickstart growth.
6. Bush & Shrub Trimming
Clean lines. Proper shaping. No hack jobs.
Why This Matters More in Calgary
Our climate is harsh.
- Extreme cold
- Dry conditions
- Rapid temperature swings
- Heavy snow piles
- Gravel and salt damage
If you skip proper spring preparation, you spend the entire summer trying to “fix” your lawn instead of maintaining it.
We see it every year.
Residential & Commercial Properties — Different Approach
Homeowners want:
- Clean curb appeal
- Healthy, thick turf
- Defined edges and beds
Commercial properties need:
- Clean parking lots
- Swept debris and sand
- Professional presentation
- Preventative maintenance planning
We handle both — and structure our services seasonally (April 1 – October 31 for lawn care).
We’ve gone from sending out $1,000 quotes in a café two years ago…
to now managing large commercial maintenance contracts across Calgary.
The trucks have changed.
The equipment has upgraded.
The systems are dialed in.
But the standard hasn’t.
What Sets Us Apart
We don’t just “cut grass.”
We operate like a long-term maintenance partner.
- Structured service windows (Mon–Thurs maintenance routes)
- Project installs and clean-ups Fri–Sun
- Professional invoicing & documentation
- Performance-based crew standards
- Clear communication and site notes
- Focus on lifetime value, not one-off jobs
Every job we complete, we leave a physical footprint — care instructions and service checklists — so you actually know what was done and how to protect it.
That’s how you build long-term properties.
That’s how you build long-term relationships.
When Should You Book?
Early.
The first two weeks of April always fill fast.
If you wait until:
- The lawn is already stressed
- Weeds have started
- Growth is uneven
You’re already behind.
Ready to Get Your Property Season-Ready?
If you’re in Calgary and want your lawn or commercial property handled properly this season, now is the time.
We’ll assess:
- Lawn condition
- Soil compaction
- Winter damage
- Property size
- Ongoing maintenance needs
And build a structured seasonal plan around it.
Because maintenance isn’t an expense.
It’s protection of your asset.
