ABOUT

It all started with a seed

With the success of Prairie Environmental Services, we wanted to establish a sibling company that would provide the same high level of professional customer service and quality lawn care to our residential clients - with a bit of added personality to go along with it.

And with that, Dandy Lawns was born.

Whereas Prairie is the big sister of the duo, demure and tied to professionalism, Mr. Dandy carries forth a sense of joy, childlike wonder, and just the right amount of irreverence - all while continuing to uphold the family’s fine reputation. (In fact, he has told us in confidence that he thinks his sister is rather uptight, but that’s just between us!) In short, Dandy gets the job done right - with a bit of extra fun along the way.

Dandy’s owners represent the most merrymaking, happy-go-lucky, and hard-working citizens you will ever have the chance to meet; true locals with strong roots and rich history of volunteering within our community. It’s this deep connection, and a desire to share that sense of community pride that inspired them to launch Dandy Lawns.

Mr. Dandy believes homeowners should be proud of their yards and that they should have the opportunity to enjoy lush, green grass without stress. His strong dedication to customer service and treating his neighbours like gold is at the very heart of Mr. Dandy’s identity.

We hope you love our dynamic, dapper, dear ‘Dandy’ as much as we do!

OUR TEAM HAS OVER 100 YEARS OF COLLECTIVE EXPERIENCE!

You can’t run a successful business without an amazing group of individuals to back you up, and Dandy Lawns is proud to have built a team dedicated to providing excellent customer service all year long.

Shayley Beaton

SUPERVISOR OF VEGETATION MANAGEMENT

While her position may differ from her decade of experience as an award-winning Horse Trainer, don’t let that fool you. If you need the job done, and done right, Shayley is the Women!

Whether it's a large industrial program or a demanding pasture far from town, Shayley is in her element, ensuring the job is done with precision and efficiency. Her ability and attitude ensure that any obstacle can be overcome to solve your weed problem, no matter the size.

Shayley’s position takes her all over our area of work, overseeing and participating in jobs for some of our largest clients. If you see Shayley out on your job, you can rest easy knowing that it is in very capable hands.

Stuart Grant

SUPERVISOR OF NOXIOUS WEED CONTROL

Stuart Grant is the Supervisor of Noxious Weed Control & Kananaskis Improvement District here at Prairie Environmental Services Ltd. Growing up and following in Greg and Danielle’s footsteps, he has become highly attentive to the sight of noxious weeds, and we couldn't be happier about it!

When he isn't too busy providing his experience in our vegetation management programs, you can find him working on equipment maintenance in the shop. While getting down and dirty, you will find him putting his coveralls to hard work, helping to ensure everyone in the fleet is ready to roll out each morning.

Being hands-on has made Stuart a great supervisor. He travels site to site, teaching and leading his crew members every step of the way. This helps ensure his sites are always looking as clean as can be! We love having his witty personality and quick-paced self back in action here at Prairie!

Tannas Webb

MANAGER OF OPERATIONS

Tannas brings over 30 years of tree health, turf management, operational and leadership experience. She runs a tight ship with humor and fun and has brought employee retention, continued education and morale to the forefront of our operations. Tannas specializes in problem solving while juggling staff ability, superior customer service standards, company time-lines and budgets. If she's not working alongside our staff in her favourite place, the outdoors: you will find her revamping our employee manuals, refreshing our job descriptions or emailing our marching orders for weekend work. In short she keeps us moving positively forward with every thought she has in her day-to-day operations. You will find Tannas overseeing our managers, which sometimes looks similar to a lion tamer at work. She can be found on our large jobs and even down and dirty in the day to day grind. When she sees work that needs done, she is the first to jump on board and make sure it is getting completed.

Greg Grant

OWNER / DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS

Greg is the Director of Operations and Co-owner of the company. He is a journeyman mechanic with many years of experience and possesses various pesticide applicators licenses. Greg keeps the fleet in tip-top condition and has endless patience when repairing damage to equipment that can, on occasion, occur when the busy world collides with his fleet. He performs those finesse spraying jobs that no one else can navigate and does so with a can-do attitude and a smile on his face. He is never above getting down and dirty and working alongside the team. He is gifted when it comes to producing solutions to hurdles and creating efficiencies. Greg is a deep thinker and his mind is always in motion. Greg makes us laugh every single day and is the glue that makes the company run like a well-oiled machine.

FAQ's

What should I expect from Mr. Dandy's Lawn Care Programs?

Depending on what programs you have signed up for, your first application will be a fertilizer application either late April or early May. Herbicide applications will then follow in May and occur once every 4 to 6 weeks.

Granular fertilization application will be applied in the same visit, building stronger plants, and strengthening the lawn against those pesky weeds. During the fall, an application of winter fertilizer is also applied, ensuring your lawn stays healthy through the winter.

When Will the application start to work?

Most common broadleaf weeds such as dandelion, thistle, and clover will die within one week, however, some pesky weeds may need a second application for it to take full effect. With our awesome weed control packages, have no fear we will make sure you have a weed-free lawn the entire summer!

Is a one Time application avaliable?

No, unfortunately. Mr.Dandy wants to provide you with the best lawn possible, so your neighbours will be so jealous. He does not offer one-time service, as a beautiful lawn needs long-term, full-season care. With our DYNAMIC weed control packages and full-season fertilization, you can enjoy a green lawn all summer long.
