About Landscaping
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
