Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our landscaping services, process, and what to expect when working with us.

Q: What type of return can I expect on my landscaping investment?

A: According to the National Association of Realtors, you can expect to recover 100%-200% of your landscaping cost when you sell your home. Quality landscaping is one of the best investments you can make in your property.

Q: How can a well-landscaped home help to sell my home?

A: According to appraisers and realtors, a beautifully landscaped home will sell faster and for more money. First impressions matter, and curb appeal significantly impacts a buyer's initial perception of your property.

Q: Are you licensed and insured for the work you'll be doing?

A: Yes, we are fully licensed as a Landscape Contractor in Ontario and carry comprehensive general liability insurance. This protects both you and us during the project.

Q: Why should I only hire a licensed contractor?

A: Licensed contractors are regulated and must meet specific standards for training, insurance, and workmanship. If issues arise, you have legal recourse and protection. Unlicensed contractors offer no such protection, leaving you vulnerable to poor workmanship and potential liability.

Q: Can you give me cost estimates over the phone?

A: We can provide very basic cost estimates over the phone, but each project is unique with its own conditions and site challenges. For accurate pricing, we need to visit your property to assess the specific requirements and provide a detailed quote.

Q: We don't know what we want. Can you help us?

A: Absolutely! We work closely with our clients to understand their lifestyle, preferences, and budget. Our design team will provide ideas, suggestions, and visual concepts until you're completely happy with the design.

Q: Can I complete some of the work myself to save money?

A: While you're welcome to do some work yourself, this often delays the project completion as we may need to move to other projects while waiting for your portion to be finished. We recommend discussing this during planning to coordinate effectively.

Q: What if I get weeds after the project is finished?

A: The Greater Toronto Area has many types of weeds, and seeds can spread easily due to wind and weather conditions. We provide weed maintenance services and highly recommend monthly yard inspections to keep your landscape looking its best.

Q: How flexible are your prices?

A: Our proposals list all work phases and individual costs, often including optional items you can choose from. If budget is a concern, we'll work with you to prioritize essential work first and plan additional phases for later completion.

Q: How long does a typical landscaping project take?

A: Project timelines vary based on scope and complexity. Small projects may take 1-3 days, while complete landscape renovations can take 1-3 weeks. We'll provide a detailed timeline during the planning phase and keep you updated throughout the process.

Q: Do you provide maintenance services after installation?

A: Yes, we offer comprehensive maintenance packages including seasonal cleanups, pruning, fertilization, and ongoing care. Regular maintenance ensures your investment continues to look beautiful and increases in value over time.

Q: What's the best time of year for landscaping projects?

A: Spring and fall are ideal for most landscaping projects. Spring is perfect for planting and new installations, while fall is excellent for hardscaping and preparation work. We work year-round and can advise on the best timing for your specific project.

Q: Do you offer design services?

A: Yes, we provide complete design services including site analysis, concept development, detailed plans, and 3D renderings. Our design team works with you to create a landscape that matches your vision, lifestyle, and budget.
