How the instant estimate works

Each type of job starts from Groundwork Landscaping's typical price for that work. The tool adds the options you choose, such as the size of the lawn or patio, materials, access and extras, then shows the result as a range.

Not sure of your measurements? Pace it out: one long step is roughly three feet. Length times width gives you square feet. For a lawn, add the front and back yards together and leave out the house, driveway and beds.

What each job includes

Lawn mowing (per cut) — includes mowing at the right height, string trimming, edging along hard surfaces and a blow-off of driveways, walks and the patio.
Lawn treatments (per season) — includes a season of fertilizer and weed control with products allowed under Ontario's cosmetic pesticide rules, grub checks and a note after every visit.
Spring or fall cleanup (per visit) — includes leaf and debris removal, bed cleanup, edging, a blow-off of hard surfaces and haul-away of all yard waste.
New sod — includes delivery of fresh sod, raking and levelling, laying with staggered seams, rolling and the first watering.
Interlock patio — includes layout, utility locates, excavation and soil removal, a compacted granular base, pavers, edge restraint and polymeric sand.
Retaining wall — includes utility locates, excavation, a compacted base with the first course buried, drainage pipe and clear stone behind, block and caps.
Interlock driveway — includes removal of the old surface, deep excavation, a compacted granular base for vehicles, pavers in a vehicle-rated pattern, edge restraint and joint sand.
Snow removal (per season) — includes driveway clearing every time snowfall reaches the trigger depth, driveway markers and return visits during long storms.

Why the final price can differ

Some things can't be known without seeing the property: exact measurements, soil and slope, drainage, how machines and materials get in, buried surprises like old concrete or roots, permits and the materials you choose. That's why the estimate is a range and your actual price is confirmed in a written quote after a site visit. For large or unusual projects, contact us for a quote.
