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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
