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.
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.
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.
Dry rings around sprinkler heads, soggy patches between heads, misting instead of a solid stream and a controller running during rain all signal trouble. Ask for a walk-through of every zone before and after the visit, plus a written report listing pressure, rotor turns and any leaks found.
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.
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.
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.
Move vehicles from the driveway, unlock side gates and bring pets indoors. Mark shallow sprinkler heads and low voltage lights with small flags so machines avoid them. Leave a hose connected and water on for the first cut, then expect a walk-through at the end of day 1.
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.
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.
