Our Landscaping and Lawn Maintenance Services in Bedford, NS
If your yard has been neglected or just doesn't meet your needs, we are here to help. From revitalizing your grass to create a lush, green lawn to paving patios and outdoor entertaining spaces, our experts will work with you to dream, design, and install the perfect landscaping for you. The following are the broad categories that most of our outdoor services fall into, but don't hesitate to contact us with questions or unusual projects!
Landscape & Garden Design
This is the all-in-one service that can include any or all of the rest of our services - it is tailored to your unique needs and desires. Our landscape designers will sit down with you and listen to your vision, then turn that vision into a blueprint for our installers to make a reality. We stay up to date on all of the latest landscaping trends to bring you the most modern and technologically advanced landscape possible - if that is what you want. We also design formal gardens, rain gardens, outdoor entertaining spaces, and everything in between. Contact us today with your ideas, and we will take it from there!
Garden Bed Installations
Perhaps you don't need your entire yard reworked - just a few nice garden beds to bring a pop of color to your front door or provide a place to grow your favorite seasonal vegetables. We can install new garden beds or repair and rework your existing beds to bring order and diversity to your outdoor space.
Looking to beautify your front walkway? In-ground beds filled with flowers and ornamental grasses might be the solution. Love gardening but hate the back pain that kneeling on the ground causes? Raised beds can make your favorite hobby more relaxing. A keyhole garden is the perfect place to curl up with a good book, while square foot gardening is the newest way to grow your own food easily and efficiently. You choose the style of garden bed you want, and we will make it happen!
Paver Installation & Repair
Pavers are one of the most versatile landscaping materials - they can pave a driveway, edge a garden bed, create a safe outdoor walkway, or provide a firm foundation for an outdoor kitchen. We install both standard pavers and interlocking pavers, each of which come in a variety of shapes and sizes to fit any style.
We also repair existing pavers that have cracked, settled, or shifted over time. By removing your pavers, leveling the ground beneath them, and adding or restoring a solid base before reinstalling the pavers, we can make walkways, driveways, and patios look like new for a fraction of the cost of replacing the pavers. Contact us today to discuss how you can use this versatile landscaping element in your outdoor space!
Retaining Wall Installation
Retaining walls are most commonly used to prevent erosion and level steeply sloped ground, but the fact that they are functional doesn't mean they can't add to the overall aesthetic of your landscape as well. Our retaining walls are not just strong and sturdy - they are also designed to match your home and existing landscaping elements.
If your yard is too steep for your children or pets to play safely in, a retaining wall can level the ground (and divide the yard into different areas for different activities, if you so desire). If your grass struggles to grow because rainwater nearly washes it away every time there is a storm, a retaining wall can slow the waterflow in your yard while directing the excess water to appropriate drainage points. Retaining walls even make great outdoor seating around a fire pit or outdoor kitchen! Whatever your reasons for wanting a retaining wall, our experts will ensure that it meets your needs and surpasses your expectations.
Sod, Mulch, & Topsoil Installation
A smooth, uniform lawn is what most people desire, but it can be harder to achieve than advertisements and DIY video might lead you to believe. Sometimes there are sections of your yard where grass struggles to grow - no matter how much seed you spread and how well you water and fertilize it, it never fully takes root and thrives. If this is your situation, our sod installation services can help. Sod is real grass - it is just grown elsewhere and harvested once it has become established. When properly installed in a new place, it will quickly root in your soil and give you a lush, green lawn in as little as two weeks!
Other times the soil itself is holding your lawn back - it has been depleted of nutrients, making it difficult for your grass to grow, or your grass grows great but the ground is so uneven that you can't walk across your yard without risking a twisted ankle. Topsoil can help with either of these issues. By filling in low areas and adding a fresh supply of nutrients to your lawn, both you and your grass will find it easier to enjoy your yard.
What if you don't want grass in a certain area, but can't seem to get rid of it? Mulching is a great solution for garden beds and other areas where you want certain plants to get all of the water and nutrients in the soil - without having to compete with grass or weeds. Available in a variety of colors and materials, mulch will suppress the growth of undesirable plants while protecting the soil and retaining moisture for the plants you do want. So whether you want more grass, better grass, or no grass at all, we can deliver and install a solution. All it takes is a simple phone call!
Overseeding & Top Dressing Services
Another great way to repair bare or patchy lawns is by overseeding. This is the "old-fashioned" way of growing grass from seed, and though it takes longer than sod installation, it doesn't require nearly as much preparation as laying sod does. We overseed lawns with native grasses proven to thrive both in Brantford's climate and in your home's microclimate - and we take into consideration how you use your outdoor space, too. Once we spread your yard with grass seeds, you'll need to water regularly - it can take as long as eight weeks for your new grass to be fully established, but we promise the wait is worth it!
Top dressing is often done at the same time as overseeding, but it serves a different purpose. By adding a thin layer of nutrient-rich soil to your yard, top dressing not only provides the perfect conditions for new grass to take root - it also encourages your existing grass to grow healthier. Call us today if you think your yard might benefit from overseeding, top dressing, or both!
Debris Removal & Seasonal Cleanups
Whether a big storm has left your yard littered with branches or you are facing the yearly deposit of leaves all over your lawn, don't feel like you are stuck dealing with the mess on your own. Our lawn maintenance experts are here to help you remove any kind of organic debris from your yard safely and in a timely manner so that you can continue enjoying a beautiful and safe-to-use outdoor space regardless of the weather or the time of year.
Irrigation & Drainage Solutions
A healthy landscape is one that receives just the right amount of water every day - too little, and your greenery will start to turn brown; too much and you risk diseases like root rot that can ultimately kill your plants if not addressed quickly. We offer irrigation and drainage systems to help you ensure that your landscape gets exactly what it needs, when it needs it. From high-tech irrigation systems that you can set and forget to simple water drains placed strategically in your yard, we have a solution for every need and every budget. Don't depend on nature to take care of your landscape's water needs - call our experts today to keep every plant in your yard well watered and thriving!
Grading & Excavation Services
Have a steeply sloped yard that is difficult to use? Need to prepare the ground for a new outdoor storage building? Whatever your reason for needing a flatter surface in your outdoor space, our grading and excavation services can help. From leveling lawns and creating the perfect slope for ideal water runoff to digging out and compacting the ground before laying a foundation for a patio or outdoor shed, our experts have the skills and equipment to move large amounts of dirt quickly and precisely. Once the ground is leveled, be sure to check out our paver installation services for most of your outdoor paving needs!
Tree Services
Trees, especially large ones, bring a host of benefits to the landscapes they are a part of. They also bring extra chores for their owners, however, and those chores can be difficult and even dangerous if you don't have the right tools and training. Our experts are here to help you with all the difficult parts of tree care. Our seasonal trimming services keep your tree healthy and looking its best year after year. If something happens to your tree, we are also here to assess the damage and either help you remove dead sections and encourage what remains to continue growing, or to remove it if necessary.
Snow Removal
You might think a landscaping company would take the winter off, but we keep right on working. Landscapes even need care during the winter, after all! Whether you need a parking lot or driveway cleared of snow or need help safely removing snow and ice from trees and outdoor structures to prevent damage, we are here to help. Don't hesitate to call us even during the coldest part of the year - our phones are on and our services are at your disposal!
