Landscaping in Windsor, ON
Windsor has some of the oldest neighbourhoods in the region, from Walkerville to Olde Sandwich Towne, alongside riverfront properties and newer east and south end subdivisions, all on the same heavy Essex County clay.
Windsor homeowners call us for weekly lawn care on tight city lots, cleanups under mature street trees, new sod after sewer and foundation work, and full backyard rebuilds with interlock patios, fire pits and lighting. In older neighbourhoods, narrow side yards and rear alleys decide how equipment and materials get in as much as the design does.
Every Windsor job starts with a look at the property: the soil, the drainage, the trees and how we'll get in. Below you'll find each of our services with information specific to Windsor.
Access, permits and local rules in Windsor
Before any job we look at how equipment and materials will get in. On older Windsor streets, that's often a narrow side yard, a gate or the rear alley, and some jobs need smaller machines or wheelbarrows. Every dig starts with free utility locates through Ontario One Call. Work on the boulevard, driveway widening, curb cuts and city trees usually needs the City of Windsor's approval, and riverfront properties can fall under Essex Region Conservation Authority rules, so we check first.
Lawn & Property Care in Windsor
Windsor's long, hot summers give lawns a long growing season, but heavy clay compacts easily and dries hard in July. Older yards have mature trees, shade and roots, while east and south end lots have wide, open lawns that need a steady schedule.
Lawn Mowing
Weekly or bi-weekly mowing with trimming, edging and a clean blow-off, cut at the right height for the season.
View serviceFertilization & Weed Control
Seasonal feeding and Ontario-compliant weed control that builds a thicker lawn, because thick turf is the strongest weed defence.
View serviceAeration & Overseeding
Core aeration that breaks up compacted clay, followed by overseeding that fills thin spots and thickens the whole lawn.
View serviceSpring & Fall Cleanups
Leaves, debris, beds and edges cleared in spring and fall, so the property starts and ends the season sharp.
View serviceSod Installation
Old turf out, soil graded and prepped, fresh sod laid tight the same day it's cut, for an instant lawn that roots in.
View serviceHedge & Shrub Trimming
Cedar hedges, privacy hedges and shrubs trimmed clean and square, at the right time and without cutting into dead wood.
View serviceSnow Removal
Seasonal snow clearing for driveways and walkways, with salting and a set trigger depth, so you're cleared out before you leave.
View serviceLandscaping in Windsor
Windsor lost much of its ash canopy after the emerald ash borer arrived in 2002, so replanting with a mix of species is common. Flat clay ground drains slowly, which makes grading, drainage and soil prep central to any landscaping job in the city.

View serviceHardscaping in Windsor
Windsor's hardscaping jobs often replace cracked concrete patios, crumbling front steps and old asphalt behind and in front of older homes. On heavy clay, a deep, properly compacted base is what keeps interlock flat through freeze and thaw.
Interlock Patios
Interlock and paver patios built on a deep, compacted base, so they stay flat, drain properly and don't sink or shift.
View serviceDriveways & Walkways
Interlock driveways and front walkways built on a deep base for vehicle weight, with patterns that handle turning tires.
View serviceRetaining Walls
Retaining walls and garden walls built on a buried, compacted base with drainage behind, so they hold soil and stay straight.
View serviceFire Pits & Outdoor Kitchens
Fire pits, seat walls, barbecue islands and outdoor kitchens built into your patio, so the backyard becomes the favourite room you've got.
View serviceSteps & Natural Stone
Front steps, landings and natural stone work, from armour stone and flagstone to solid slab steps that don't wobble or heave.
View serviceInterlock Repair & Sealing
Sunken, heaved or weedy interlock lifted, re-based and re-laid, then cleaned, re-sanded and sealed to look new again.
