Corn Gluten Fertilizer

Our Corn Gluten Fertilizer is one of the most eco friendly yet effective options to prevent the spread of weeds since the ban on pesticides came into effect. Aside from manually trimming weeds, there aren’t many options available to prevent the growth or spread, and the ones available aren’t as effective. Ask us how!

lawn dethatching

Dethatching

Thatch is a layer of dead grass that stops water, air and healthy nutrients from reaching the soil. If you lawn has an excessive amount of thatch, it is more likely to have problems with diseases. Keeping your lawn healthy means dethatching is required. Our dethatching involves power raking to remove the dead grass. In Vaughan and the GTA, the best time to dethatch is early fall.

Lawn Aeration

When soil becomes too compact, it can prevent proper nutrients from reaching grass roots, turning a green healthy lawn into a brown one. Lawn aeration is the solution to return your lawn back to its healthy state. We do this by driving spikes or creating cores into the ground to bring back an exchange of fresh air, water and nutrients to the roots, allowing the roots to grow and produce a healthier lawn.

Lawn fertilizer and core Aeration

Lawn Fertilization

Fertilizers are essential for your lawn to remain healthy and vibrant. At Niko’s Gardening, we have multiple options of fertilizers that are phosphorus rich, natural and pesticide free. Contact our team to set up your personalized lawn fertilization services.

Mid September 2022 Niko's Gardening installed new sod in our backyard. The crew worked steady through the day while keeping an organized and tidy work area. By day's end we had a great looking new lawn. Niko's provided complete and detailed instructions for us to care for the newly sodded lawn with recommendations for cutting and watering. Eight weeks later (November 2022) our backyard looks great and continues to thrive. We are very happy with the work Niko's Gardening has completed for us. E & G Thomson

Greg and his crew did an excellent job on sod installation and the planting of the boxwood and hydrangea. Greg also provided details such as the type of grass that was installed so the post-installation care was easier to plan for. I have received many compliments from neighbors.

Greg examined the state of our lawn and indicated exactly what was needed to transform it into a lush, green turf. Not only did the sod need to be laid, but the underlying soil had to be replenished and built up so that the lawn was even. The workmen were very courteous and the work was carried out exactly as Greg had stated in his estimate. They worked diligently and completed the job in one day. The lawn looks amazing. and I would absolutely recommend Niko's services.
