Grasscycling

Grasscycling is a simple and natural approach to lawn care.

Grass clippings are left on the lawn after mowing and decompose quickly, releasing valuable nutrients back into the soil.
Grasscycling is an environmentally and financially friendly option for your lawn care.

Grass clippings are approximately 80% water. When you mow regularly, clippings quickly decompose and release water and nutrients back into the lawn.
Lawns stay greener and healthier and develop a deeper root system when clippings are left on them.
Reduces the amount of time and money you spend fertilizing and bagging.
Leaving grass clippings on your lawn can generate up to 25% of the lawn’s yearly fertilizer needs.
- Fertilize in spring if the lawn needs it, and let clippings do the job through the summer.
- Fertilize in the fall to boost spring growth.

Grass clippings can also be:
- composted in a backyard composter.
- taken to the Halton Waste Management Site.
