Spring is the best time to prepare your lawn for the growing season. We begin spring lawn care as soon as the frost has passed, which includes removing debris, aerating the soil, and applying fertilizers. This ensures your lawn starts the season healthy and strong.
The cost of lawn care can depend on your lawn size and the services you need. Treatments such as fertilization, pest control, or aeration may come at an additional cost. We offer customized quotes to fit your specific needs.

Goodreau's lawn care services cover the full cycle of residential and commercial grounds maintenance through the growing season, mowing, edging, trimming, cleanup, and seasonal preparation. Consistent schedules mean your property looks its best week to week, not just after an occasional visit.
For commercial properties across Chatham-Kent and Tilbury, where appearance directly reflects the business, consistency matters. Our team is fully insured, professionally equipped, and backed by four decades of experience in Southern Ontario grounds management. Our team understands how the growing season works here and delivers reliable lawn care on schedule, every time.
Surfaces that accumulate algae, mold, dirt, and weathering over a Southern Ontario winter benefit significantly from professional powerwash treatment. Our powerwash services cover driveways, walkways, patios, decks, siding, retaining walls, and commercial hard surfaces, using calibrated pressure settings for each surface type to restore appearance without damaging materials.
For commercial properties across Chatham-Kent and Tilbury, a professional power wash demonstrates attention to detail for customers and reduces long-term maintenance costs by preventing surface degradation from accumulated organic growth.

Overgrown ditches don't just look neglected. They cause drainage failures that cost property owners significantly more to fix than to prevent.
Why Ditch Mowing Matters for Your Property
Overgrown drainage ditches restrict water flow, creating standing water and drainage failures that affect your property and your neighbors'. Regular drain and ditch mowing keeps channels clear, reduces mosquito habitat, and maintains access for infrastructure inspection. For agricultural properties across Chatham-Kent and Tilbury, functional drainage is directly tied to crop performance.
Roadside & Drainage Ditch Mowing
Drainage ditches and roadside verges require specialized equipment and operators who understand how to mow in difficult conditions without causing erosion or equipment damage. Goodreau's team has been providing drain and ditch mowing across Chatham-Kent and Tilbury for decades, including contracted work alongside local municipalities and drainage superintendents.
Large area mowing requires a different category of equipment than standard residential lawn maintenance. Goodreau operates commercial-grade zero-turn mowers and tractor equipment suited to expansive properties, business parks, industrial lots, campuses, and rural acreages, delivering consistent, well-maintained results across every cut.
For commercial clients across Chatham-Kent and Tilbury managing large-footprint properties, contracting large area mowing to a professional crew consistently costs less than owning and maintaining equipment in-house. Regular mowing cycles or seasonal contracts keep your property within acceptable maintenance standards year-round. Contact us today for a free quote on large area mowing. Call (519) 682-1818.
Field Mowing Services in Chatham-Kent and Tilbury
Field mowing in Southern Ontario is more complex than it looks, requiring work around drainage tiles, managing heavy spring growth, and navigating uneven terrain. Goodreau's field mowing services cover agricultural fields, fallowed land, buffer zones, and large natural areas requiring periodic maintenance to prevent brush and woody vegetation encroachment.
In Chatham-Kent and Tilbury, the growing season runs from late April through early November. Lawn care is best scheduled consistently from the first spring growth through fall cleanup. Commercial properties benefit from weekly or bi-weekly visits throughout the main season.
Powerwash services are most effective in late spring, after the last frost, and again in fall, before winter sets in. Drain-and-ditch mowing is typically scheduled in late spring, after peak growth, and again in late summer. Field mowing and large area mowing schedules are built around growth rates and access conditions specific to each property.
Whether you need a recurring lawn care program, a one-time powerwash, drain and ditch mowing on an agricultural property, or large area mowing for a commercial site, Goodreau Tree Care and Dukes Grounds Care serve all property sizes across Chatham-Kent and Tilbury.

Have questions about our grounds care services? Goodreau's team answers the most common inquiries clearly and honestly.
1. Do you offer lawn care services for both residential and commercial properties?
A: Yes. Our lawn care services cover residential yards, commercial properties, industrial sites, and municipal grounds across Chatham-Kent and Tilbury. Programs are customized to property size, visit frequency, and specific services required. Contact us to discuss your property, and we'll build a program around what you actually need.
2. How is large area mowing different from regular lawn mowing?
A: Large area mowing uses commercial-grade tractors or zero-turn equipment designed to cover significant acreage efficiently. The equipment, cut height, and approach differ substantially from those used for residential mowing. Our large-area mowing service is suited to properties where residential-scale equipment would take an impractical time to complete the work.
3. Are you insured to work on my property in Chatham-Kent and Tilbury?
A: Yes. Goodreau Tree Care and Dukes Grounds Care carry full commercial liability insurance covering all grounds maintenance and mowing work. We are also a member of the Drainage Superintendents Association of Ontario (DSAO), reflecting our experience and accountability across the region.
4. How often should I schedule lawn care services?
A: Most residential properties in Chatham-Kent and Tilbury benefit from mowing every 7 to 10 days through the main growing season, typically May through September. We build schedules based on your specific lawn and adjust frequency as growth rates change through the season.
