Spring clean up
Paysagiste Dama Inc. offers the owner of a house or business to take care of the opening of their land by carrying out one or more of the following works:
- Remove winter protection
- Clean the ground of the waste left by the winter
- Clean the driveway
- Aerate and/or dethatch the entire lawn
- Cut the edges
- Clean flowerbeds
- Cut spring plants
Lawn aeration
Aeration is a mechanical and priority work that is done in spring or fall and which consists of extracting soil cores from a depth of about 70 mm (3/4 inch). The extracted carrots are then placed on the existing lawn and will disintegrate with rain and humidity in the weeks following aeration. The benefits of aerating your lawn are:
- Reduce soil compaction
- Improve water and nutrient absorption
- Promote the rooting of the lawn
- Increase the tolerance of the lawn during periods of heat and drought
- Improve soil oxygenation
- Improve lawn growth
Lawn dethatching
Dethatching the lawn is a job that is normally done every 3 or 5 years and involves removing an accumulation of thatch that protrudes about 1.5cm. The advantages of dethatching are:
- Allow water to better penetrate the soil
- Make it easier for the roots to access water from the soil
- Normally dethatching is not necessary if grass clippings are collected
Topdressing
With the ban on herbicides, topdressing is the best ecological solution to adopt to have a very beautiful lawn year after year. Paysagiste Dama inc. has been offering its customers for more than 10 years and the vast majority appreciate this service offer.
Le terreautage nécessite les étapes suivantes :
- Cut the lawn first
- Repair any damaged areas with top soil only if necessary
- Aerate the ground
- Seed your lawn
- Apply the soil with a shovel or mechanically
- Then pass a rake to bring the soil down to the base of the lawn stems
- Water lightly 2 to 3 times a day for at least 3 weeks on days without rain
- Reseed in the fall if the topdressing was done in the spring
Spring and fall are good times to do this work. It is suggested to do this work every 2 or 3 years. So you will have over the years a dense and green lawn that will resist drought much better and above all you will have a lot less weeds.
Our work is guaranteed

Our guarantee is that your lawn will be green and well maintained all season long.
Fertilizer treatments
A good fertilizer treatment program ensures a healthy lawn. Lawn fertilization is essential in order to have a beautiful, bright green lawn. Paysagiste Dama Inc. makes sure to provide the appropriate nutrients by using ecological and slow-release fertilizers. The main elements contained in our fertilizers are:
- Nitrogen used to grow the lawn while giving it a greener hue
- Phosphorus is used for root growth especially for new shoots
Potassium gives a better resistance to the lawn especially during the warmer periods and on the spaces that are used the most. In addition, it helps to better protect the lawn in winter.
Paysagiste Dama Inc. agrees to perform four lawn fertilization treatments per year:
- The 1st treatment in May is particularly aimed at helping growth, strengthening the roots and accentuating the green of your lawn
- The 2nd treatment in June has two objectives, the growth and the resistance of the lawn to promote better weed control
- The 3rd treatment in August serves to achieve the same objectives as the 1st treatment
- The 4th pre-winter treatment in October is mainly aimed at controlling weeds and protecting the roots against the rigors of winter.
Maggots treatments
If you are experiencing any of the following, either yellowed sections of grass or turned over clods in your yard, the source of the problem may be white grubs.
We advise you to call us quickly at the following number 450-663-0777 to make an appointment to evaluate with you the best possible solutions to apply.
Trimming of hedges and shrubs
Ideally, cedar hedge trimming should be done once a year between mid-June and the end of September. This size allows to control the size of the hedge, to make the foliage more abundant, as well as to allow light to penetrate.
The size of the various deciduous hedges must be done from the end of May to the end of October. It should be noted that certain types of hardwood hedges require 2 to 3 prunings between spring and autumn. Finally, most deciduous hedges can be cut back significantly.
This work is usually done in the fall. Shrubs including conifers must be pruned generally once a year so that they retain their shape and maintain a space between them. Finally, flowering shrubs should be pruned after flowering.
Paysagiste Dama Inc. can provide you with competent staff and good equipment to meet your needs.
Fall closing
With the fall and the return of cold weather, Paysagiste Dama Inc. offers you to prepare your land by carrying out, among other things, the following work
- Raking leaves
- Remove annuals
- Cut the perennials
- Install winter protection
