About Landscaping
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.
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.
How to measure your yard before requesting a quote
Measure length and width of each lawn section with a tape or a phone app and multiply to get square meters. For irregular shapes, split the area into rectangles and add them together. Note slopes, narrow access points under 2 m wide, and any spots that flood. Photos from several angles help the professional estimate labor and equipment needs accurately before visiting your property.
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.
Landscaping equipment arrives at the property
On the first visit the crew usually brings a compact track loader, push mowers, string trimmers, hedge shears and a leaf blower. Hand tools include rakes, shovels and pruning saws. Ask whether machines are stored overnight on your driveway or transported daily, because diesel weight can mark asphalt over time.
Hardscape basics: patios, borders and drainage
Patios need a base of compacted crushed stone at least 100 mm thick topped with 30 mm of bedding sand to avoid sinking. Borders should sit 10 mm above the turf to allow easy mowing without scalping. French drains 150 mm wide filled with gravel resolve most backyard puddles. Request a slope of 2 percent away from the house foundation to protect walls.
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.
Choosing between annual and perennial plantings
Annuals give colour for 1 season but need replacement yearly. Perennials cost more up front yet return for 3 to 7 years. Ask which species suit your soil pH and sun exposure, and request a planting plan on paper showing spacing in centimeters, not just a rough sketch.
