Lawn Care Calendar for Kamloops: What to Do Each Month

August 7th 2025



Lawn Care Calendar for Kamloops: What to Do Each Month,

At Look Out Landscaping, we’ve spent over 30 years caring for lawns across Kamloops, from sun-baked slopes to shaded backyards in Pineview. Through droughts, chinch bugs, and that one spring it snowed in April (remember that?),we’ve learned what local lawns actually need — and when they need it.

If you’re looking for the ultimate month-by-month lawn maintenance and care guide for Kamloops, you’re in the right place.

Let’s dig in — literally.

January – It’s Okay to Chill

  • Do: Nothing. Your lawn is dormant under frost or snow.
  • Don’t: Walk on frozen grass — it can damage brittle blades and compact soil.
  • Pro Tip: If you’re planning any landscaping upgrades, this is a good month to dream, plan, and book early with your local pros.

February – Prep and Prevent

  • Do: Tune up your mower, dethatcher, or irrigation systems.
  • Don’t: Ignore water runoff from snow melt — redirect if needed.
  • Pro Tip: This is a great time to schedule spring services like aeration or power raking through our lawn care team.

March – Wake-Up Call

  • Do: Begin spring cleanup — remove debris, rake matted grass, and lightly dethatch if needed.
  • Do: Apply pre-emergent weed control (timing matters — early but not too early).

April – Air Time

  • Do: Aerate compacted soil to help roots breathe.
  • Do: Overseed any patchy areas.
  • Don’t: Mow too short — stay above 2.5 inches.
  • Pro Tip: Aeration + overseeding = springtime magic. We offer both in our comprehensive lawn care services.

May – Feeding Time

  • Do: Apply slow-release fertilizer.
  • Do: Continue mowing weekly, adjusting for growth.
  • Don’t: Overwater! It’s still cool and often rainy.
  • Pro Tip: May is ideal for your first power raking session to remove lingering thatch buildup.

June – Water Wisely

  • Do: Water deeply and early in the day.
  • Do: Mow regularly, keeping blades sharp.
  • Don’t: Cut more than one-third of the grass blade at once.

July – Stress Watch

  • Do: Raise mowing height to conserve moisture.
  • Do: Spot-treat weeds or pests if needed.
  • Don’t: Fertilize heavily — the heat makes it risky.
  • Pro Tip: Mulching mower? Leave clippings to naturally fertilize — it’s a win-win.

August – Keep It Cool

  • Do: Stay consistent with deep watering — 2–3 times per week.
  • Do: Monitor for dry patches, chinch bugs, or fungus.
  • Don’t: Water in the heat of the day — early morning is best.

September – Prime Time for Repair

  • Do: Aerate and overseed — ideal conditions for new grass.
  • Do: Begin lowering mowing height gradually.
  • Pro Tip: This is one of the best months for lawn improvement in Kamloops — warm soil, cool air, fewer weeds.

October – Wind Down

  • Do: Mow your lawn — but maybe not for the last time just yet.
  • Do: Rake leaves or mulch them into the lawn.
  • Do: Apply fall fertilizer.
  • Pro Tip: In many parts of Kamloops, October means you're approaching the final mow of the season — especially in hillside areas like Aberdeen. But if you're in the valley bottom or a sunnier microclimate, you might still be mowing into November. Keep an eye on growth and hold off putting the mower away until it actually stops.

November – Clean Slate

  • Do: If your lawn is still growing (hello, valley bottom!),give it one final mow before winter sets in.
  • Do: Clean tools, drain hoses, and winterize your irrigation system.
  • Do: Book next year’s lawn care if you want first dibs on spring dates.
  • Pro Tip: If your lawn is still growing in November, keep mowing until it naturally slows down. Some areas stay green longer than others — no need to rush it into hibernation.

December – Rest Up

  • Do: Enjoy the snow. Your lawn is sleeping.
  • Pro Tip: Bookmark this page — you’ll want it again soon!
