Local lawn notes
What the Best Landscaper in Saint John Should Know About Your Lawn
The City calls Saint John the only city on the Bay of Fundy. That big, cold water shapes your yard. Summers here stay cool and damp.
Cool summers, steady growth
Environment Canada climate normals (1981 to 2010) show it. At the airport, July averages 17.1°C. That's the coolest July of the three New Brunswick cities we serve. Fredericton averages 19.3°C and Moncton 18.8°C.
Cool, damp weather tends to keep grass growing through the summer. That's why weekly lawn mowing fits most yards here, from June into fall.
The wettest of the three
The airport gets about 1,295 mm of rain and snow a year. That's more than Fredericton or Moncton. June alone brings about 101 mm of rain.
Wet grass clumps, and soft ground ruts under a heavy mower. On a slope, it's slippery too. So your crew picks a dry window when it can.
Frost dates
At the airport, the last spring frost comes around May 16. The first fall frost comes around October 2. That's about 138 frost-free days. The station's frost record is less complete than some, so treat those dates as a rough guide.
Snow is usually off the ground by the end of April. A spring cleanup clears the winter mess before your first cut.
Saint John rules that touch your lawn
- Clippings and leaves. They go in your green compost cart. Keep the full cart under 100 pounds.
- Extra leaves. Use brown paper leaf bags. The City won't take yard waste in plastic bags.
- Branches. Twigs and branches up to 2 inches across can go with your compost.
- Sprayed grass. The City's sorting guide says chemically sprayed grass doesn't belong in compost. Our partner crews don't spray, so your clippings stay in the cart.
- Drop-off. Crane Mountain Landfill takes one cart, or two paper bags, of compost for free. It's off Highway 7 North toward Grand Bay-Westfield. Check hours and fees first.
- Dry spells. In September 2025, the City asked everyone to hold off on watering lawns during a dry stretch. Watch for notices like that in dry summers.
- Unsightly premises. By-law M-30 covers junk, rubbish, construction waste and wrecked vehicles. It doesn't list a grass height.
Rules change, so check the City first. Sources: leaf and yard waste, curbside pickup, sorting guide, Crane Mountain, water notice, unsightly property, climate normals.
