Who Can Help You With Landscaping Decisions in Toronto?

When starting out any major change in life, it is always best to get a little advice. Whether it is talking to your doctor before starting an extreme exercise regimen or discussing the fin you want to install on your car with a mechanic, the landscaping changes you make to your home should not be made without some input from others. Consider turning to the following resources:

Neighbors – Your neighbors will help you in two big ways. They can guide you down the path of things they have done, professionals or stores they used. And perhaps most importantly, they can help you realize if any of your ideas are wildly out of sync with the neighborhood aesthetic.

Brokers and Realtors – Working with homes on a daily basis and seeing the buying patterns of potential purchasers, brokers and realtors can be invaluable resources when it comes time to remodel your landscape. They often can provide good advice on what landscape features are hot right now and that add the most long-lasting value.

Landscaping Companies, and Landscape Architects – Reaching out for a professional consultation and plan for your yard is never a bad idea when considering landscape work. Local and national companies may even provide the service for free. However, if you are contracting with a true landscape architect, it will almost always cost something to get advice or a plan. Many homeowners prefer to seek free quotes, but if your project is particularly sizeable, ambitious, or impactful, the eye of a landscape architect can be helpful.

Remember, always take any advice given with a grain of salt and consider the context. Your neighbor with the bright purple house and life-size chess set may not be the best resource in the world if you are looking to fit into your neighborhood’s global aesthetic.

Tips on finding the right lawn care contractor in Toronto

As with any project, it’s wise to get multiple bids. Do your homework and spend time researching; you have a terrific resource called the internet at your disposal. When selecting the lawn care companies that you would like to receive bids from, use the following checklist: a. Does your contractor operate from a permanent place of business. If the contractor is not permanently established, you run the risk that they will not complete the work or be in business, down the line, should there be any problems. We’ve all heard the stories where homeowners make a size able deposit and then the contractor disappears. Don’t be that homeowner! b. Is the company licensed, bonded and insured? Make sure the employer has workers’ compensation and general liability insurance in case of accidents on the job. Don’t be afraid to ask for copies of these policies.  c. How long has the company been in business? A long-time, well-established contractor is a great indicator of quality of product and serv...

Lawn Mowing Recommendations for Toronto Homeowners

Image
One of the most important rules to remember when deciding how high or low you want to mow your lawn is the one-third rule. Grass plants attempt to balance their above and below ground growth, so the root systems are roughly equal to the mass of grass blades. Removing no more than one-third of the grass blade at any one mowing helps keep this balance. Mowing too short, a common mistake some homeowners in Toronto make in an effort to reduce mowing frequency, can stress plants. In addition, if too much grass is removed, clippings will fail to decompose rapidly enough, contributing to a buildup of clippings and an unsightly lawn. Mowing height varies depending on growing conditions, grass type, and the season. Your landscape service provider will be able to match proper mowing height to your lawn, helping to ensure that it stays healthy even during times of stress.
