About Landscaping
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.
Preparing the site before the crew shows up
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
