Lawn Fertilizing & Soil Care in Markham, ON
A seasonal fertilizer program tailored to your lawn — the right products, applied at the right time, for a thicker, greener, healthier turf all season long.
Feed Your Lawn the Right Way
Mowing keeps your lawn tidy — but fertilizing is what makes it genuinely healthy. A properly fed lawn grows thicker, crowds out weeds naturally, recovers faster from heat and drought, and stays green longer into the fall. Without regular feeding, even a well-mowed lawn will thin out and struggle over time.
MRPRO's seasonal fertilizer program is built around the Markham growing season. We use professional-grade slow-release granular fertilizers applied at the right intervals — from a spring starter and pre-emergent through to a fall winterizer that prepares your lawn for the cold months ahead.
Fertilizing is available as a standalone program or as an add-on to any of our recurring maintenance plans. We'll assess your lawn on the first visit and recommend the right program for your grass type, soil conditions, and goals.

Our Seasonal Fertilizer Program
Each application is timed to what your lawn needs most at that point in the season — not just a generic schedule.
Early Spring
Starter & Pre-Emergent
A slow-release starter fertilizer feeds your lawn as it wakes up, while a pre-emergent treatment stops crabgrass and annual weeds before they germinate.
Late Spring
Balanced Feeding
A balanced NPK application promotes thick, even growth heading into the summer. We adjust the formula based on your grass type and soil conditions.
Summer
Stress Protection
A lighter, slow-release summer feed keeps your lawn nourished without pushing excessive growth during heat stress. Helps maintain colour and density.
Early Fall
Recovery & Thickening
After summer stress, a higher-nitrogen fall feed encourages recovery, thickens the turf, and helps crowd out weeds heading into the cooler months.
Late Fall
Winterizer
A potassium-rich winterizer strengthens roots and cell walls before freeze-up, giving your lawn the reserves it needs to green up fast in spring.
Optional Add-Ons
Pair your fertilizer program with targeted treatments for a complete lawn care solution.
Weed control (broadleaf)
Targets dandelions, clover, and other broadleaf weeds without harming grass.
Grub control
Preventive treatment applied in early summer to stop white grubs before they damage roots.
Overseeding
Thin or bare patches are overseeded in fall to thicken the turf naturally.
Lime application
Corrects soil pH for lawns that are too acidic, improving nutrient uptake.
Soil aeration
Core aeration relieves compaction and improves fertilizer absorption — often paired with overseeding.
Topdressing
A thin layer of compost or screened soil improves organic matter and levels minor surface irregularities.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about our fertilizing and lawn care program.
How many fertilizer applications do I need per year?
For a healthy Markham lawn, we recommend 4–5 applications spread across the growing season — early spring through late fall. Each application serves a different purpose, from weed prevention in spring to root strengthening before winter.
Is the fertilizer safe for my kids and pets?
Yes. We use granular slow-release fertilizers that are safe once they've been watered in and the lawn is dry — typically a few hours after application. We'll always give you a heads-up on timing.
Can I add fertilizing to my existing mowing plan?
Absolutely. Fertilizing is available as a standalone program or as an add-on to any of our recurring maintenance plans. Just let us know and we'll include it in your next estimate.
Do you test the soil before applying?
We assess your lawn visually on the first visit and note grass type, colour, density, and any problem areas. For customers who want a full soil test, we can arrange one and adjust the program accordingly.
What if my lawn has weeds — will fertilizing make them worse?
Fertilizing alone can feed weeds as well as grass. That's why we recommend pairing a spring fertilizer application with a pre-emergent or broadleaf weed control treatment. We'll advise you on the right combination for your lawn.
