Providing Everything You'r property Needs

Weekly lawn care

At Goderich Cottage Care, we understand that your time in Ontario’s West Coast should be spent watching the sunset at Main Beach or exploring the Square—not pushing a mower. Our weekly lawn care service is designed to keep your property pristine, healthy, and "Goderich-ready" all season long.

What’s Included Every Week:

Precision Mowing: We adjust our cutting heights based on the current weather and grass health, ensuring a lush, green carpet that resists drought and weeds.
Professional Trimming & Edging: We provide clean lines along walkways, flower beds, fences, and patios for that manicured, high-end look.
Debris Power-Blowing: We never leave a mess behind. We blow all grass clippings off your driveway, decks, and sidewalks before we leave.
Property Perimeter Check: As your eyes and ears on-site, we do a quick scan for any fallen branches or visible issues, giving you peace of mind—especially for seasonal residents.

Property Clean up

Reclaim Your Yard, Hassle-Free.

Living on the coast means dealing with everything Lake Huron throws our way—from heavy winter debris to the endless autumn leaves of Goderich’s tree-lined streets. Goderich Cottage Care provides deep-clean services to reset your property and keep it looking its absolute best, regardless of the season.

Our Clean-Up services Include:

Leaf & Debris Removal: We rake, collect, and haul away fallen leaves, sticks, and organic litter from your lawn and garden beds.
Garden Bed Refresh: We clear out dead annuals, prune back overgrown perennials, and apply fresh mulch.
Invasive Species Mitigation & Control: We identify and systematically remove aggressive, non-native plants—such as Garlic Mustard, European Buckthorn, and Phragmites—that threaten the biodiversity of our local coastal ecosystem. By removing these "garden invaders" before they go to seed, we protect your native landscaping and help preserve the natural heritage of the Lake Huron shoreline.

The "Cottage Care" Difference

We don't just "blow and go." We take the time to ensure your property is completely clear of yard waste. We understand that for many of our clients, your property is your sanctuary. We leave it looking refreshed, tidy, and ready for you to enjoy.

Premium lawn care

Your lawn needs more than just a trim to thrive in the Huron County climate. Our premium recovery services breathe new life into tired turf, ensuring it stays lush, resilient, and ready to withstand the summer heat.

The Three-Step Recovery Process:

Deep Dethatching: Over time, a layer of "thatch" (dead grass and organic debris) builds up between your green blades and the soil. If it gets too thick, it blocks water and nutrients. We use professional power-raking equipment to lift that layer, clearing the way for your grass to breathe and absorb essential moisture.
Core Aeration: Heavy clay soils—common in many parts of Goderich—tend to compact over time, essentially "suffocating" the root system. We use professional-grade hollow-tine equipment to remove small cores of soil, allowing air, water, and fertilizer to penetrate deep into the root zone where they belong.

Professional Overseeding: Nature isn't perfect, and sometimes your lawn needs a boost to stay thick enough to choke out weeds naturally. We spread high-quality, regionally-adapted grass seed over the newly aerated soil. This ensures the best possible "seed-to-soil" contact, giving new grass the perfect environment to germinate and fill in those stubborn bald patches.

Why Do All Three?

They are designed to work as a team. Dethatching prepares the surface, Aerating opens the soil, and Overseeding provides the new growth. Combined, they create a dense, vibrant lawn that doesn't just look better—it’s actually healthier and more drought-resistant.

Pro Tip: Timing is everything. We recommend scheduling this service during the spring "waking up" phase or the fall "recovery" phase to give the new seed the best chance of survival against the hot, dry mid-summer sun.
