The Service

Done properly, the first time.

A garden that thrives starts with matching plants to place: how much sun the bed gets, how the soil drains, and how much maintenance you honestly want to do. We design and install garden beds around those answers — amending our region's heavy soils with compost and triple mix, then planting hardy, proven performers for Southern Ontario at proper spacing.

Whether it's a foundation bed that frames the front of the house or a full backyard garden, you get a planting plan you can actually maintain, installed so it establishes well: right depth, right spacing, watered in, and mulched.

Good to Know

Garden Installation questions, answered.

Have a question we haven’t covered? Ask during your free on-site estimate — or give us a call.

Southern Ontario supports a deep bench of hardy perennials, shrubs, and ornamental grasses. We select for your bed's specific sun and soil — and for how much maintenance you want — rather than a one-size list.

Spring and early fall are ideal — mild temperatures and reliable moisture help plants establish. Container-grown plants can go in through most of the season with attentive watering.

Absolutely — plant choice and spacing decide most of a garden's workload. Hardy perennials, shrubs, and grasses at proper spacing over mulch keep upkeep to seasonal tidying.
