About Landscaping
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
