Lawn Restoration & Care

The right program starts with what your lawn is actually telling you.

Thin turf, bare patches, and weeds are symptoms — the causes are soil, chinch bugs, and grubs. We assess before we treat, then build the program your lawn genuinely needs. Nothing more.

  1. Compost topdressing in progress with EcoLawn spreaders

    Revive

    Soil Health

    Dehydrated compost topdressing, core aeration, pH correction and biological inputs. We fix the foundation your grass grows in — no seeding unless the lawn actually needs it, which we confirm on site before we start.

  2. Aeraseeder seeding drum up close on a lawn

    Repair

    Precision Seeding

    Certified Pickseed cultivars placed mechanically into prepared soil at 6 lbs/1,000 sq ft — never broadcast over problems. Disease-resistant, chinch-resistant, built for Ottawa.

  3. Thick green backyard lawn after a full renovation

    Restart

    New Lawn

    When a lawn is too far gone, we say so. Saturated-steam preparation clears weeds and roots — chemical-free — then quality sod goes down on an improved soil base.

Interlock Restoration

Don't replace your driveway. Revive it.

A full interlock replacement in Ottawa runs $25,000–$40,000. In most cases the stones are fine and the base is fine — what's failing is the joints and the surface. Both are restorable, in days, at a fraction of the cost.

  • Saturated steam injected into every open joint — weeds and their roots are dead before the new sand goes in.
  • Premium polymeric sand, vibration-compacted and levelled precisely — flexible joints built for Ottawa's freeze-thaw, locked for years.
  • The CAT5 finish upgrade — once your joints have cured and proven sound, the Trident Hurricane CAT5 satin seal can go over top.

How We Work

Restore first. Seal when it's ready.

A sealer is only as good as the joints underneath it. That's why we rebuild your joints with flexible polymeric sand first, let them cure and prove themselves — and only then apply the CAT5 finish, over joints we know are sound.

Step 1 · The Restoration

Interlock Restoration — Natural Finish

The complete rebuild: saturated-steam joint treatment, premium Techniseal HP NextGel polymeric sand, vibration-compacted and levelled precisely. Flexible joints engineered for Ottawa's freeze-thaw — and the natural stone look your interlock was meant to have. Backed by our 5-year joint warranty on qualifying areas.

Step 2 · The Finish — Optional

Interlock CAT5 Seal & Renew

Once your joints have cured and proven sound, the Trident Hurricane CAT5 two-part urethane adds a rich satin colour enhancement and 3–5 winters of protection against salt, stains and organic growth. One day, most jobs. Also available over existing healthy polymeric sand installs that pass our assessment.

Why we won't sand and seal in one day

Some contractors flood urethane sealer over fresh sand in a single visit. It looks great on day one — but a rigid joint over a base nobody verified is a joint that can crack when Ottawa's freeze-thaw moves the ground. We only apply CAT5 over cured, proven polymeric sand joints — ours after 30+ days, or existing cured joints the assessment verifies as sound. If your joints can't be verified, we'll tell you.

Transparent Pricing

You shouldn't have to book a sales visit just to learn what things cost.

Our estimators show you a price range up front — built from our real labour, equipment and material costs. Here's how it works.

1

Answer a few questions

Square footage, surface type, condition, access. About 60 seconds. A rough guess is fine — we verify it with aerial measurement.

We confirm it on site

For interlock, David walks the surface with you in person, takes precise measurements, and leaves a written proposal. For lawns, we build the plan from the aerial measurement, agree on it with you in advance, and confirm it on site the day of the work — one visit. No obligation, no pressure.

We show prices because an educated client makes better decisions.

Why David's Lawns

Methods and materials you won't find at retail.

One name answers for the work

David quotes every job, sets the standard it's done to, and stands behind the work years later — no rotating crews, no subcontractors.

Commercial saturated steam

Our custom 400,000 BTU steam unit kills weeds and roots at over 100°C — zero chemicals, safe for kids, pets and pollinators immediately.

Certified CAT5 installer

Ottawa's first certified installer of Trident Hurricane CAT5 — a breathing two-part urethane that won't peel or turn milky white the way hardware-store acrylics can. Applied only over sound, cured joints.

Certified Pickseed cultivars

Named, certified seed varieties chosen for Ottawa's diseases and pests — placed mechanically into prepared soil, never broadcast over a problem.

Soil-first, assess-before-treat

We diagnose the actual cause — soil chemistry, chinch bugs, grubs — before recommending anything. Sometimes the answer is a smaller job than you expected.

Professional advice

We tell you what you actually need — including when restoration isn't the right call, or when a competitor's approach fits better.

Work we stand behind — in writing, for five years.

Qualifying interlock restorations carry a 5-year joint warranty, kept meaningful by our Annual Maintenance & Warranty program — a yearly professional clean and inspection that catches small problems before they become big ones. What's covered and what isn't is documented before the job starts.

"Overall, Lori and I were very happy with both the process and the result. The photos are a nice touch, too. I found your company while doing an online search for interlock repair, and your online cost estimation was a differentiator."
