Cedargate Landscaping Offers Landscape Design Services

In the Oakville area, we at Cedargate Landscaping offer full landscape design services, taking gardens from mere plans to complete outdoor spaces while staying within budget. Landscaping expenses add up quickly, and most homeowners underestimate the actual cost of the work and the maintenance.

Landscape Design Services Within a Budget

Companies that offer multiple services help keep initial costs down. Rather than hiring expensive subcontractors, a full-service firm has team members that can handle laying stone walkways, building wood structures, designing planting and seating areas and creating proper lighting. If an electrician or ironworker is needed, this cost should be decided on in advance. At times, it may be cheaper to hire a professional to do the work before the landscaper arrives.

Planning Keeps Costs Down

While it is up to the contractor to provide a reasonable estimate, the expenses do not stop when the last landscaper leaves. New plants need water more often than established plants. Even a newly planted tree should be watered regularly for the first two years before relying on rain and environmental water. All the extra watering raises a water bill quickly.

Annuals usually die out each year, requiring new plants almost every season. Many vegetables and flowers are annuals. A more cost-effective design plan includes perennials or plants that thrive through every type of weather. To keep the cost of replacing plants each year to a minimum, annuals should be regulated to a planter or small garden area, instead of being the basis of a design.
