Materials & services guide

Typical materials

• Sharp mowing equipment calibrated to the optimal height per grass species
• Seasonal fertilization program (spring, summer, fall)
• Selective weed control that doesn't damage the lawn
• Precision edger for clean lines against walkways and gardens

Estimated time

Weekly or biweekly visits depending on season, 30–90 minutes per visit depending on area size.

What affects the cost

The main factor is the exact lawn size — that's why we measure with the satellite map before quoting — plus visit frequency and whether you add the fertilization program.

Questions to consider

• What's the approximate size of your lawn? (measure it with our satellite map)
• Do you prefer weekly or biweekly visits?
• Are you interested in an included seasonal fertilization program?
• Are you looking for defined mowing stripes (striping) as a finish?

Typical materials

• Sod (rolled turf) or certified seed suited to the local climate
• Topsoil / compost to level the base
• Starter fertilizer
• Temporary irrigation system or sprinklers

Estimated time

1 to 3 days for installation, plus 2 to 4 weeks of establishment before the first mow.

What affects the cost

Varies by square footage and whether it's sod (faster, pricier) or seed (cheaper, slower).

Questions to consider

• Does the area get direct sun, partial shade, or full shade?
• Is there an irrigation system installed, or does one need to be added?
• Do you prefer immediate results (sod) or are you willing to wait weeks (seed)?
• Does the current ground need leveling or extra drainage?

Typical materials

• Stone, pavers, or slabs (the type defines the style and cost)
• Compacted gravel and sand for the base
• Geotextile fabric to control weeds
• Edging or border material to contain the area

Estimated time

3 to 7 days depending on the area size and design complexity.

What affects the cost

Stone material is usually the biggest cost; labor grows with curved designs or complex patterns.

Questions to consider

• What will you use the space for (dining table, fire pit, just a walkway)?
• Do you prefer a natural look (irregular stone) or a formal one (straight slabs)?
• Does the area drain well or does water pool after rain?
• Does it need to support vehicle weight (driveway) or just foot traffic?

Typical materials

• Perennials and annuals suited to the season
• Amended soil and compost
• Mulch to retain moisture and slow weeds
• Garden edging to separate the bed from the lawn

Estimated time

1 to 2 days for installation; perennials take 1 to 2 seasons to fully fill in.

What affects the cost

Depends on plant size at installation (larger = pricier but instant results).

Questions to consider

• Are you after year-round color or bloom in a specific season?
• How much upkeep are you willing to do (pruning, watering, weeding)?
• Do you have pets or kids spending time near the area?
• Does the area get direct sun, shade, or does it change by season?

Typical materials

• Low-voltage LED fixtures
• Transformer and buried wiring
• Dusk sensors or timers

Estimated time

1 to 2 days for a typical residential install.

What affects the cost

The number of fixtures and wiring distance are the main cost factors.

Questions to consider

• Are you after functional lighting (security, walkways) or decorative (accents)?
• Is there already an outdoor outlet nearby, or does wiring need to be extended?
• Do you want timer, sensor, or app control?

Typical materials

• Wood, bark, or decorative stone mulch
• Edging material (metal, plastic, or stone) or natural cut edge

Estimated time

Half a day to a full day for an average residential property.

What affects the cost

Our lowest-cost service; recommended 1 to 2 times a year.

Questions to consider

• When was the mulch last refreshed?
• Do you prefer a natural (cut) edge or a physical containment material?
• Are you after a specific mulch color/type to match the facade?

Typical materials

• Salt or de-icing material
• Removal equipment (shovel, blower, or machinery depending on the area)

Estimated time

Recurring service through snow season, typically within hours of each storm.

What affects the cost

Quoted per season or per visit, depending on storm frequency and area size.

Questions to consider

• Do you prefer a full-season contract or per-storm service?
• How many vehicles and people use the driveway regularly?
• Are there specific areas where snow shouldn't be piled (mailbox, garden)?
