Services and prices
From the plan to the last plant.
Design, stone, planting, watering and seasonal care, all from one company, with the prices on this page.
01 · Design
The plan on paper.
Every yard starts with Theo walking it with you, free. If you’d like to go ahead, he draws the plan. You can have us build it, or take it to anyone you like.
- A scaled drawing of the whole yard
- A planting plan with every plant named
- A written fixed price and a start date
- Two rounds of changes, ready in about three weeks
The plan, taken off the build if we build it
From $1,500
02 · Patios, walls and steps
Stone that stays put.
Patios, paths and steps you’ll use every day, and walls that turn a slope into somewhere to sit. Every patio and path goes on a compacted gravel base, so it stays flat through freeze and thaw.
- Flagstone and paver patios
- Natural stone and block retaining walls
- Steps, paths, fire pits and pergolas
- Gravel, boulders and stone edging
Patios
$35 to $65 a square foot
03 · Planting
Plants that can take the heat.
Beds of grasses, perennials and shrubs that cope with heat and dry spells, picked for your sun or shade and for how much looking after you want to do. We dig and improve the soil before anything goes in.
- Grasses like blue oat grass and feather reed grass
- Perennials like lavender, Russian sage, yarrow and sedum
- Shrubs and trees like sumac, saskatoon and Ponderosa pine
- Mulch or gravel on every bed
Planted beds
$18 to $30 a square foot
04 · Watering and lawns
Water at the roots. Lawn where you use it.
Drip lines feed beds and trees right at the roots, on a timer we set for the season. Sprinklers go only where there’s lawn, and the lawn goes only where you’ll use it: a patch for the kids or the dog, not fence to fence.
- Drip lines for beds and trees
- Sprinkler zones for lawn
- A timer set for spring, summer and fall
- Lawns laid as sod
Watering
From $1,400 a zone
05 · Seasonal care
Looked after from spring to freeze-up.
For yards we’ve built and yards we haven’t. Book one visit or the whole season.
April to mid-May
Spring cleanup
Cut back grasses and perennials, clear the beds, edge, and top up mulch or gravel.
From $340
May to October
Garden care
Every two weeks. Weeding, deadheading, light pruning, and a check of the drip lines and timer. Mowing too, if there’s lawn.
From $95 a visit
October to mid-November
Fall cleanup
Leaves off, beds tidied, and tender plants cut back before winter.
From $340
Spring and fall
Watering on and off
Turned on and every zone checked in spring. Lines blown out with compressed air before the ground freezes.
$95 each
Questions
Good to know.
Do I need a plan for a small job?
Not for a single bed or a short path. Theo can price it at the walk, and we’ll book it in. Anything bigger gets a plan, so we agree on it before we dig.
Can you build a plan someone else drew?
Yes. Send it to us, and we’ll walk the yard and give you a fixed price for building it.
How long does a build take?
Most front yards take one to two weeks. A whole backyard with a patio and walls usually takes three to six. Your plan has the start date and how long it should take.
Do I need to be home?
For the yard walk and the walk-through, yes. During the build, no. The crew lead will text you if anything comes up.
What if a plant dies?
If a plant we put in dies in its first year, we replace it, as long as it’s been on the watering schedule we set. Send us a photo.
What don’t you do?
Snow removal, tree removal and large tree pruning, decks, fences, pools, outdoor lighting, and commercial or strata work. We’ll tell you who to call.
Do your prices include tax?
No. All our prices are in Canadian dollars, plus tax.
Let’s walk your yard.
Tell us a little about it. We’ll reply within one business day to book a free walk, and you’ll have a price range before anything’s drawn.
