Fertilizing
While we opt for compost and other organic treatments, we can coordinate lawn maintenance around your preferred weed control service provider including NutriLawn or WeedMan.
Why Spring Clean Ups?
Winter is rough on Nova Scotia’s lawns and gardens. A spring visit is an affordable way to tidy up your property, and prepare beds for new growth. Rest easy knowing your property is in the hands of our experienced and friendly gardeners.
Our clean ups include:
Debris Collection
Sticks, leaves and other winter debris are collected from lawns, gardens, decks, walkways, patios and driveways. We remove all collected debris (or dispose on site, upon request, if an area is available).
Pruning, Bedwork & Edging
We’ll bring your garden back to life – We cut back ornamental grasses and prune spent perennials, and trim and shape select shrubs and hedges. Lawn and garden borders receive a crisp new edge to beautify your beds.

Your property will look sharp with annual topdressing. Plus, it helps to control weeds, erosion and drought. Reduce summer maintenance, and support your garden health.

Lawn & Garden Care FAQ’s
We offer straightforward, no hassle service, so you can choose how to spend your time, and your money.
How frequent are the visits?
We visit approximately every 7-10 days from May to October, determined by growth conditions, weather and scheduling. Some seasons we see a need for additional visits in April and November, with less frequency. The total number of mowing visits in a year is usually between 24-27.
Can you come the same day every week?
We aim to visit within the same 1-2 days per week, however as weather plays a big part in our work we can’t guarantee service on the same day. Even if conditions are good on the day we usually visit, earlier weather may impact timing.
What are your lawn care prices?
Please contact us for an estimate, as pricing varies based on size, condition and location of your property.
Do I need to sign a contract for the season?
No, though we do charge a higher rate for ‘one-off’ maintenance visits, and if the property has not been kept in good condition.
Do you offer garden care?
Yes, garden care can be stand-alone or added to a lawn care plan. Visits are usually every other week, though during peak season weekly visits may be required to keep your property looking perfect.
How high do you set the blades?
We adjust the height from month to month as needed for optimum grass health, usually from 2.5” in the hot summer months to 2” in the fall. If you have a particular setting, please ask!
Do you collect the clippings?
By default we bag and remove the clippings, however in some cases we may decide to mulch them on site. If you have a preference please let us know.
How do I pay?
We invoice monthly for the number of visits performed, and prefer E-transfers as a secure payment method.
