Questions

Common Questions

Quick answers before visitors choose a product, service, or next step.

01Do you work with small yards?+

Yes. We plan small lots, side yards, and front beds so every foot has a clear use, a neat look, and less wasted space.

02Can you help with plant picks?+

Yes. We choose trees, shrubs, and perennials that fit your sun, soil, and Canadian hardiness zone, with winter in mind.

03Do you include patio ideas?+

Yes. We map patio shape, deck size, seating spots, and walk paths before any build work starts, so the space feels open and easy to use.

04Can you fix a patchy lawn?+

Yes. We suggest soil prep, seed or sod, watering steps, and care for spring or fall work so new grass can fill in well.

05How long does a plan take?+

Most plans take 1 to 3 weeks, based on lot size and how many notes you send. You will know the timeline before we start.

06Do you help with privacy?+

Yes. We plan screens with hedges, trees, and fence lines to block views while keeping air moving and light.
