About Landscaping
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.
Irrigation system checks that prevent waste
A leaking irrigation line can waste 10 to 15 liters per minute, so ask for a pressure test before approving any seasonal startup. Confirm that the contractor adjusts sprinkler heads to avoid spraying walls or paved areas. Smart controllers cut water use by 15 to 30 percent compared to manual timers. Insist on a printed run schedule grouped by plant type and sun exposure.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Questions to ask before signing a contract
Ask who supervises the crew on site, what happens if a plant dies within 30 days, and whether the contract includes a maintenance plan with monthly visits. Request copies of insurance, licenses for pesticide application, and a written warranty on installed materials. Clarify payment terms, since reputable landscapers rarely request more than 30 percent upfront before work begins.
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.
