Yard Maintenance and Landscape Maintenance in Vancouver

What our maintenance covers

• Lawn mowing and edging. Regular cuts with clean edges, and clippings cleared from hard surfaces.
• Garden beds. Weeding, deadheading and cultivating, with mulch topped up.
• Hedges, shrubs and pruning. Hedge trimming, and pruning at the right time of year for each plant.
• Spring cleanup. Leaf and debris removal, bed edging and cultivation, a mulch top-up and the first mow.
• Fall cleanup. Leaf removal, cutting back perennials and preparing beds for winter.
• Debris removal. Green waste is hauled away.

Weekly, bi-weekly or seasonal

• Weekly. Mowing, edging and debris cleanup each week through the growing season. It suits lawns and front yards that need to look sharp all season.
• Bi-weekly gardening. Weeding, deadheading and bed cultivation every second week. It suits yards with a mix of lawn and garden beds.
• Seasonal only. Heavier spring and fall cleanups. It suits people who mow their own lawn but want help with pruning, bed resets and debris.

Not sure which fits? We walk the property and recommend a schedule.

Yard maintenance through Vancouver’s seasons

• Spring. Beds are matted with winter leaves and debris. A cleanup clears them, cuts back spent perennials and opens up airflow. Moss is common on lawns after the wet months, and moss treatment is part of our spring service.
• Summer. Many lawns go dormant in dry spells. That is normal, and it does not call for panic watering.
• Fall. Trees drop their leaves over several weeks, so one cleanup rarely catches them all. We time cleanups for after the bulk of the leaves have fallen.
• Winter. Mowing slows or stops. Winter is a good time to prune plants that are dormant.

Standing water on the lawn after a storm is a drainage problem, not a mowing problem. Our yard drainage and driveway drainage page explains the usual fixes.

What affects the cost

• Property size, and how much of it is lawn, beds and hedges.
• How often the visits happen.
• The condition at the start. An overgrown yard needs a heavier first visit.
• How many trees drop leaves, and how much debris there is to haul away.
• Access: gates, slopes and distances.
• Extras such as aeration, power raking or a larger mulch top-up.

How maintenance starts

1. You get in touch. Fill in the quote form, or call (604) 353-4399 any time from 9 am to 6 pm, Monday to Saturday.
2. Walkthrough. We walk the property and look at the lawn, beds, hedges and access.
3. Schedule and quote. We recommend weekly, bi-weekly or seasonal visits, and quote them.
4. Visits. Each visit covers the agreed tasks, and the debris is removed. You do not need to be home for a cleanup, as long as we can get through any gates.

Questions people ask

Do you prune by hand?

Yes, where the plant calls for it. That keeps shrubs in their natural shape instead of shearing everything with a hedge trimmer. Hedges are trimmed as hedges.

Can you take over a neglected yard?

Yes. A neglected yard usually starts with a heavier first visit of weeding, restorative pruning and a bed reset, then moves to a regular schedule.

Do you only do lawns?

No. Lawns are one part of it. Beds, hedges, pruning and seasonal cleanups are covered too.
