Local lawn notes
What the Best Landscaper in Airdrie Knows About Wind, Hail and Chinooks
Airdrie sits about 10 km north of Calgary's city limits, on Highway 2. The City says its elevation makes it the highest city in Canada. Up here, wind and weather set the rules for your grass.
A short season, a wet June
Airdrie has no Environment Canada climate normals station of its own. The Calgary airport station, about 20 km south, is the closest. Its climate normals (1981 to 2010) put the last spring frost around May 21 and the first fall frost around September 16. That's about 117 frost-free days.
June is the wettest month there, with about 94 mm. That's when grass grows fastest, so weekly lawn mowing matters most in early summer.
Chinooks and spring wind
The Canadian Encyclopedia says a Chinook melts snow, dries soil and dries out plants. The City's tree care page blames "our drying Chinook winds" for winter drought. The same airport records show April and May are the windiest months. The station also logs about 28 days a year with winds of 52 km/h or more.
Dry wind means dry soil. The City suggests leaving grass about 3 inches long to cut down on scorching and water loss. A good crew sets the mower high and never scalps it.
Hail season
Hail hits Alberta and Saskatchewan more often than anywhere else in Canada, says the Canadian Encyclopedia. The worst storms come in July and August. If a storm leaves shredded leaves and twigs everywhere, ask your crew about a cleanup visit.
Airdrie rules that touch your lawn
- Long grass. The Community Standards Bylaw (B-09/2012) calls grass or weeds over 10 cm untidy. You get at least 7 days' notice. After that, the City may do the work and bill it to your taxes. Listed fines are $300 or $500, and they climb for repeat offences.
- Watering. Sprinklers run on set days. Even addresses water Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Odd addresses water Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Hours are midnight to 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. to midnight. No sprinklers on Fridays.
- Night quiet. No mowers, garden tools or leaf blowers from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. on weekdays, or until 9 a.m. on weekends.
- Green cart. Grass and leaves go in your green cart, with the lid closed. It's picked up weekly in summer. Save extra for the next pickup day.
- Swales. Keep grass and leaves out of the swale. Storm water flows from there to Nose Creek.
- Elm hedges. Alberta bans elm pruning from April 1 to September 30, and that includes Siberian elm. Elm hedges wait until October.
Rules change, so check with the City first. Sources: bylaw enforcement, community standards, watering, green cart, tree care, elm ban, climate normals, Chinooks.
