Question 1

How much does landscaping cost in Burlington?

Accepted Answer

Smaller garden-bed and sod projects typically start around $2,000–$5,000. Front-yard makeovers with interlock and planting commonly run $8,000–$20,000. Full backyard builds with patio, retaining walls, and planting usually range $20,000–$60,000+. Every estimate is free and itemized so you can phase the project if you'd like.

Question 2

My Burlington yard floods or stays soggy — can you fix it?

Accepted Answer

Usually, yes. Most soggy Burlington yards come down to clay soil plus a grading or downspout problem. We regrade to move water away from the house, install French drains or catch basins where grading alone won't do it, amend beds so roots aren't sitting in water, and choose plants that tolerate the conditions. Drainage is designed in before any of the visible work begins.

Question 3

When is the best time to lay sod or plant in Burlington?

Accepted Answer

Sod does best in spring and early fall when it roots before heat or hard frost, but with proper watering we install it through the growing season. Trees and shrubs prefer spring or fall planting. We'll tell you honestly if waiting a few weeks will give a better result rather than installing at the wrong time.

Question 4

Do you build retaining walls in Burlington?

Accepted Answer

Yes — retaining walls are a core service, and the grade changes toward the escarpment keep us busy with them. We build engineered segmental-block and natural-stone walls with proper granular backfill and drainage behind them. Walls over 1 metre generally need engineered drawings, which we arrange.
