Interlocking

Interlocking is a type of paving that uses units composed of stone, brick, or concrete to create a durable, attractive surface. The individual units are locked together using mortar or another bonding agent, and the finished surface can be left as-is or tamped down for a smoother finish.

Because of its durability and low maintenance requirements, interlocking is a popular choice for patios, driveways, and other high-traffic areas. Furthermore, the wide range of colours and styles available means that interlocking can be used to create nearly any type of look, from classic to contemporary.

If you're considering paving your outdoor space, interlocking brick is an option worth exploring.

Grading

Landscaping is more than just adding a few flowers and trees to your yard. It also involves making sure that your property is graded properly.

Grading is the process of shaping the land, and it is an important part of any landscaping project. Improper grading can lead to water runoff, erosion, and even flooding. It can also damage your foundation and destabilize your home. On the other hand, proper grading can improve the appearance of your property, increase its value, and make it more resistant to weather-related damage.

If you are planning a landscaping project, be sure to consult with us to ensure that your property is properly graded. We can also help you compliment your newly landscaped yard with a new deck!

Sod

For those in search of the perfect lawn, sod may be the answer. Sod is a type of grass that is harvested in large sheets, making it easy to install a new lawn with minimal effort. And for those who are concerned about the environment, sod is a sustainable option, as it helps to reduce soil erosion and water waste. In addition, sod is low maintenance, requiring only occasional mowing and fertilizing.

So if you're looking for a green space that will make your neighbours green with envy, consider installing sod. Our Sod Contractor will be sure to help you roll out the welcome mat, as you're sure to get plenty of visitors admiring your new lawn.

Answering All Your Questions!

What are the challenges in a landscape?

Anyone who's ever tried to grow a garden knows that there are plenty of challenges that come with the landscape. There's the challenge of finding the right spot for your garden, making sure it gets enough sunlight, and ensuring that it has good drainage. But those are just the basics.

Once you get your garden started, you also have to contend with weeds, pests, and diseases. And then there are the perennial challenges, such as keeping your plants alive during a drought or protecting them from freezing temperatures in the winter.

In short, there's a lot that can go wrong when you're trying to create a beautiful landscape. But the rewards of a thriving garden make all the challenges worth it. And that's what we are here to help you with!
What should be included in a landscape design?

Our landscape designs are always tailored to the needs of our clients. For example, a family with small children may want to include a play area, while someone who loves to entertain might want to create an outdoor kitchen. Other important considerations include the climate, the size and shape of the property, and personal preferences.

Once these factors have been taken into account, the fun part begins: choosing plants! For a low-maintenance landscape, consider selecting native plants that are well-suited to the local climate. Or, for a more colourful garden, mix and match annuals and perennials to create a beautiful tapestry of colour that will bloom all season long. No matter what your style, we have a landscape design that's perfect for you.
How much water does my lawn need throughout the year?

As any lawn lover knows, giving your grass the occasional drink is essential to keeping it looking green and gorgeous. But how much water does your lawn actually need? The answer may surprise you.

Depending on the type of grass you have, the climate you live in, and the time of year, your lawn may need anywhere from one to four inches of water per week. Of course, that’s a lot of water! Fortunately, there are a few tricks you can use to cut down on water usage. For example, during the hottest months of the year, try watering your lawn in the morning or evening when it’s cooler outside. You can also invest in a rain barrel to collect water from your gutters for use in the garden. By following these simple tips, you can keep your lawn healthy without breaking the bank.
What type of maintenance does an irrigation work require?

Just like your car needs an oil change and your teeth need to be brushed, your irrigation system needs a little TLC too. After all, you want it to continue watering your lawn day in and day out without issue. Luckily, irrigation maintenance isn't too difficult - as long as you stay on top of it.

First, make sure to inspect your system regularly for any leaks or clogs. Second, flush out the system with clean water on a regular basis to prevent dirt and debris from building up and impairing the flow of water. Finally, winterize your irrigation system before freezing temperatures set in to prevent damage from ice and snow.

By following these simple tips, you can keep your irrigation system running like a well-oiled machine - no green thumb is required. And fortunately, we will always be here to lend you a helping hand in maintaining the garden of your dreams!
