About Landscaping
Why the lowest bid often ends up costing more
Very low prices usually mean uninsured labour, shared equipment, or skipped steps like edging, blowing or hauling. Ask for proof of liability insurance, worker compensation and a list of recent local addresses you can drive past. A written warranty of at least 12 months is standard.
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.
Permits, safety and underground utilities
Call the local utility locator before any digging deeper than 300 mm to avoid hitting gas, water, or electrical lines. Retaining walls over 1 m tall often require a permit and engineered plans. Tree removal near power lines should never be handled by a general landscaper without certification. Ask for proof of liability insurance covering property damage and worker injuries on site.
Pruning trees and shrubs the right way
Most flowering shrubs should be pruned within 2 weeks after blooming ends, not on a calendar schedule. Cuts larger than 25 mm in diameter on trees benefit from a sealing compound and must follow the branch collar. Avoid topping cuts, which stress the plant and cause weak regrowth. Request that the crew disposes of clippings and never leaves stubs above 10 mm.
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.
What a standard maintenance visit actually includes
A weekly visit covers mowing at 7 to 10 cm height, edging along hard surfaces, line trimming around trunks, blowing clippings off pavement and a quick weed pull in beds. Fertilising, pest control and hedge shaping are billed separately, so confirm in writing what each visit delivers before signing.
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.
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.
Comparing organic and synthetic fertilisers
Organic blends release nitrogen over 6 to 8 weeks, feed soil microbes and lower burn risk, yet cost 20 to 40 percent more per bag. Synthetic products green the lawn within 7 days but require precise dosing to avoid runoff into storm drains. Ask which option fits your goals.
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.
