About Landscaping
How long common landscaping jobs really take
A full lawn reseeding of 500 m² takes 1 to 2 days including soil prep and rolling. Installing a 20 m² paver patio usually requires 3 to 5 days because excavation, base compaction, and sand leveling cannot be rushed. Hedge trimming of 50 linear meters takes around 2 hours with proper shears. Weather delays add 2 to 7 days during rainy seasons.
Common grass types and maintenance needs
Warm-season grasses like Bermuda and Zoysia need cutting at 30 to 50 mm during growth, while cool-season fescue prefers 50 to 80 mm. Cutting too short exposes roots and invites weeds. Ask which species is in your lawn before accepting a generic mowing plan. A healthy lawn usually needs watering 2 to 3 times per week rather than a light daily sprinkle.
How stone and concrete work is priced
Patio and walkway quotes depend on base preparation, material thickness and access for a wheelbarrow or mini excavator. A 30 m² flagstone patio with 10 cm of compacted crushed stone base and polymeric sand joints typically takes 4 to 6 working days for a 3 person crew.
Reading a written quote line by line
Each task should appear with its own price: mow, edge, trim, blow, prune, mulch. Labour hours and crew size matter because 2 workers for 45 minutes costs less than 3 workers for 60 minutes. If disposal of green waste is missing, ask who hauls it and where it goes.
Seasonal timing and how it changes the price
Spring startups cost 10 to 20 percent more because demand spikes and crews book out 3 to 4 weeks ahead. Fall is the cheapest window for planting trees, since roots establish in cool, moist soil. Aeration and overseeding work best between mid-September and late October in most climates. Schedule large projects at least 6 weeks before the first expected frost date.
Mulch, soil and what they actually do
A 50 to 75 mm layer of shredded bark mulch suppresses weeds, holds moisture, and regulates soil temperature around plant roots. Avoid piling mulch against the trunk, since volcano mulching causes rot and attracts pests. Topsoil should be tested for pH before planting acid-loving species like blueberries or azaleas. Ask whether compost is being mixed in or just surface-applied without incorporation.
What landscaping usually covers at home
Landscaping includes lawn care, pruning, planting, irrigation repairs, mulching, and small earthworks like leveling or building a raised bed. Ask for a written list that separates ongoing maintenance from one-time work. Confirm whether the quote covers debris removal, because hauling branches or old sod often adds a separate fee. Get the area measured in square meters before signing anything.
Safety around buried utilities and overhead lines
Before any digging the contractor must call the local locates service, usually a free visit taking 2 to 3 business days. Stay at least 3 m from overhead power lines when using a pole pruner. Confirm the crew carries insulated gloves and eye protection, not only boots and a hat.
How to describe your property before the visit
Measure total lawn area in square meters, note slope direction and count existing trees by trunk diameter. List bed edges, fence lines and any dead patches. A short written description with 3 to 5 phone photos helps the estimator quote faster and avoids a second trip just to see the yard.
What usually goes wrong with cheap quotes
Low bids often skip soil preparation, use thin mulch layers under 30 mm, or schedule only 4 visits per season instead of the 6 to 8 that warm-season turf needs. Hidden fees appear for edging, leaf cleanup, or hauling. Ask each bidder to list the exact number of visits, cuts per visit, and services included, then compare line by line, not by total price alone.
