What Does Landscape Maintenance Really Mean?
Lots of folks think landscape maintenance is just mowing grass or trimming a bush or two. That’s definitely part of it—but we’re also out here edging lawns, clearing messes, stopping weeds from spreading, trimming hedges for shape, aerating the ground, fertilizing, and even power washing spots like sidewalks and driveways. We handle regular upkeep for homeowners and also manage bigger commercial, strata, and industrial areas all the time.
We’ve seen some real turnarounds—like one place in Burnaby where the yard was totally wild. Patchy grass, shrubs everywhere, and the kids stayed inside since there was no open space to play. We came in regularly, cleaned everything up, and reshaped the space. Whole vibe changed. They told us it felt like they got a whole new backyard. That’s the difference solid maintenance can make.
Why Regular Landscape Maintenance Matters
Landscape maintenance works kind of like regular checkups for your car. Skip it too long and stuff starts to fall apart—lawns get rough, weeds go wild, and tree branches become a real hazard. Keeping things in check also helps your home look better from the street, which can mean more in cities like Surrey or Maple Ridge where curb appeal counts toward value.
And don’t forget—places like Coquitlam have rules around what kind of tree work or yard changes you’re allowed to do. Start chopping without checking and you might hit a snag. The city recently updated their permit and tree care page, so give it a peek before getting too far along with any tree plans.

Best Times of Year for Landscape Maintenance in Coquitlam & Surrounding Areas
Different seasons call for different care. Spring and fall? Perfect seasons for aerating, feeding the lawn, and clearing out piles from last season. Summer’s mostly about regular trims, pest watch, and keeping things watered right. In the winter, we slow down, but it’s still a great time for pruning or fixing up parts of the yard you don’t want to mess with during the busy season.
If you’re thinking about getting on a schedule or want help with your yard’s to-do list, reach out sooner than later. If we’ve got time to plan ahead, we can do it right from the start.
Costs and Getting a Personalized Quote
Prices change based on your yard’s size, how often we’re coming out, and what you want done. Something simple like basic lawn care might be less than $100 a visit. Larger properties with full-service landscape maintenance can run a few hundred a month if we’re keeping it regular.
Every yard is different. Some homes in Anmore have thick green grasses, others in Surrey might have mostly stone beds or sloped sections to work around. We offer on-site quotes where we hear your ideas, walk the property, and put together a no-surprise plan for you.
Common Questions About Landscape Maintenance
We get these all the time—so here’s a quick peek at what comes up most:
- How soon do I see changes? Mowing and trimming show right away. Things like soil health or major pruning might take a few weeks to notice.
- Do you do year-round service plans? Yep. We’ve got plans made for spring through winter so the whole yard stays on track.
- Should new lawns get landscape maintenance? Totally. Early care like the right mowing and water makes a big difference for new sod or seeded lawns getting started.
- What about big commercial spots? No problem. We’re used to looking after large complexes, businesses, and industrial sites all over the area.
- What if there’s bad drainage? We’ll come by and check it out. Sometimes it’s as simple as a slope fix or adding in better drainage lines.
- Do you use green-friendly products? For sure. Whenever it works with your setup, we go with organic lawn food and stuff that’s kinder to pets and plants.
- Can you add patios or walkways later on? Absolutely. We do hardscaping too—decks, fences, and other structures that match your yard’s look.

FAQ About Landscape Maintenance
How often should I schedule lawn mowing? Usually every week or two in the busier months—spring and summer. That keeps things clean and avoids overgrowth.
Can I handle landscape maintenance myself? Sure—doing things like watering or mowing is easy enough. But stuff like trimming trees or dealing with weeds? That’s where pros usually get better results faster.
What maintenance is needed for artificial turf? Just needs brushing here and there, and maybe a rinse after muddy days. Pull loose leaves off and you’re good.
Are there permits required for major pruning or tree removal? In places like Coquitlam, yes. We’ve helped customers figure that stuff out and stay on the right side of the rules.
What type of grass works best in Coquitlam’s climate? Cool-season blends like fescue or Kentucky bluegrass hold up well here and come back strong year after year.
How long does a typical landscape maintenance job take? Could be 30–60 minutes for a basic mow and clean. Bigger jobs take longer depending on what we’re doing that day.
How can I prevent weeds naturally? Keep your lawn dense, cut it regularly, add mulch where needed, and make sure it’s getting good nutrients. That keeps weeds out without needing chemicals.
Do you offer emergency yard cleanup? For sure. Storm rolled through or something left a big mess? Give us a call and we’ll come out as soon as we can.
Can landscape maintenance increase property value? It really can. A good-looking yard helps with first impressions when people are checking out your place to buy or rent.
What extra services can complement regular landscape maintenance? Things like flower planting by season, irrigation checks, minor paving fixes, or bug management are easy bump-ups to regular care.
