What You Can Get
A weekly mow, a lawn brought back from thin, new planting, or ground reshaped before any of it goes in. Tell us what the yard needs and we'll quote it against the property, not a flat per-visit rate.
Steady care, week to week
Lawn Care & Maintenance
Scheduled mowing and yard upkeep can be priced for a single visit or as a recurring plan, with the cadence agreed before work begins.
- Single visits or scheduled upkeep
- Frequency confirmed upfront
- Fits any size yard
For a lawn that has gone thin
Lawn Revival
Aeration, dethatching, overseeding and top dressing as one sequence. Most thin lawns here are compacted rather than underfed.
- Core aeration and dethatching
- Overseeding and top dressing
- Fertilizing on a schedule that suits the lawn
- Humic acid treatment for heavy clay soil
The line between lawn and bed
Weeding & Edging
Beds kept clear and the border re-cut by hand, which is the difference between a yard that looks maintained and one that only looks mown.
- Beds weeded by hand
- Borders re-cut and defined
- Runs with a lawn visit or on its own
The finishing work
Mulching & Bed Care
Fresh mulch and weeded beds are what actually reads as curb appeal from the street.
- Bed weeding
- Fresh mulch laid
- Pairs with a lawn visit or stands alone
Putting things in, keeping them in shape
Planting & Shaping
Plants, shrubs and trees chosen for the spot they are going into, then kept to shape afterwards. A hedge or a shrub that is cut back at the wrong point in the year takes a season to recover.
- Plants, shrubs and trees planted
- Hedges and shrubs shaped
- Chosen for sun, shade and soil
- Timed so cutting back does not set growth back
The ground under everything else
Rock & Grading
Decorative rock and river stone laid in, and ground levelled or re-graded where water is sitting or a bed has slumped. Usually the fix for a problem that keeps coming back.
- Decorative rock and river stone laid
- Ground levelled and re-graded
- Grading set to move water away from the house
- Edging set so the material stays put

Landscaping & Lawn Care FAQs
Useful details to review before you price the work.
Mowing and lawn maintenance, lawn revival work like aeration and overseeding, bed weeding, hand edging, mulching, planting and shaping, and rock and grading. Clearing a yard that has got away from you is a separate service, and so is tree work or a deck refinish, though all of them can be scheduled with the same crew.
Yes. A single visit is priced the same way a recurring one is, against the yard rather than a rate card. Plenty of people start with one and set up a cadence afterwards once they know what the yard needs.
It depends on yard size, scope, and whether it's a one-time visit or an ongoing plan. Request a quote and we'll price it against your actual property.
Usually aeration first, because most thin lawns here are compacted rather than short of feed, and seed dropped onto compacted ground does very little. The normal sequence is dethatch, aerate, overseed and top dress together, then feed on a schedule. On the heavy clay common across York Region a humic acid treatment helps the soil hold structure so the aeration lasts longer than one season.

What York Region, ON homeowners ask about landscaping & lawn care
Yard size, bed count, and how much of the property is planted rather than lawn. A square of planted bed takes longer to work than the same square of grass, so two yards the same size can quote differently.
It can be either. Mulch is often laid during a scheduled visit, and it can also be booked on its own if that is all the yard needs.
Ongoing plans are priced with a set scope per visit, which gives you predictable costs across the season compared to booking each visit separately.
Landscaping and lawn care across York Region, ON
Southern Ontario's growing season is short but busy: everything comes back at once in spring, keeps going through summer, and drops all at once again in fall. A yard here spends most of the year either catching up to that pace or falling behind it. Newer subdivisions across Markham, Vaughan, and Maple mean a lot of the landscaping is still young and needs a different kind of early care than an established Richmond Hill or Thornhill lot with mature trees and shade-grown grass.
Housing age decides more than lot size does. A new-build yard needs starter plantings watched and shaped as they establish. An older, tree-lined street needs the opposite: holding back what's already established and keeping shaded lawns from thinning out under mature canopy.
Why cadence beats calendar
Growth here is not evenly spread across the season. May and June run fast enough that a fortnightly cut leaves a lawn looking ragged by the second week, and by late August the same lawn can go three weeks without anyone noticing. A plan that fixes one interval for the whole summer is wrong at both ends of it.
So the cadence gets set against the yard and adjusted as the season moves, rather than sold as a fixed number of visits. It also means a shaded lawn under mature trees and a full-sun front lawn on the same street can sensibly sit on different schedules.
Clay soil is the local constraint
Much of York Region sits on heavy clay. It holds water, compacts under foot traffic and mowers, and then sets hard enough in a dry August that roots stop going anywhere. A lawn on clay that looks underfed is usually just compacted, which is why feeding it again rarely changes anything.
That is what aeration is for, and why top dressing and humic acid are worth doing at the same time rather than later: opening the ground up only helps for as long as the soil holds that structure. On sandier pockets the same lawn needs far less of this, so it is worth looking before assuming a yard needs the full sequence.
The detail is what shows
Weeded beds, fresh mulch, and a hand-cut border are what read as curb appeal from the street. A lawn on its own does not, however well it is cut, because the eye goes to the line between lawn and bed before it goes to the grass.
If the budget only stretches to part of the yard, say which beds and which frontage matter most. The quote can cover the visible ground properly instead of being spread evenly over ground nobody looks at.
