Planting, beds and sod in Vaughan

Garden design and planting that survives a Zone 5 winter, bed edges cut by hand, mulch, garden stone and fresh sod across Vaughan.

Plants that hold up here

Half of what gets sold at big-box garden centres in May is dead by March in this climate. We plant what survives Vaughan winters, in the exposure it actually gets, at the spacing it needs in five years.

Edges are what reads as tidy

A clean bed edge cut by hand does more for a property than another shrub — and it is the first thing a rushing crew skips.

Sod where seed will not do it

Seed is cheaper given a full season. After a build, or before a sale, sod is the only thing that gets a Vaughan yard finished in a week — on grade prepared properly first.

  • Shrubs, trees and perennials chosen for sun, shade and road salt
  • Privacy planting: cedars, columnar trees and layered screens
  • Bed edges re-cut and mulched at proper depth
  • River rock, garden stone and decorative gravel
  • Fresh sod on prepared grade

Concord, Maple, Woodbridge and Thornhill all sit inside Vaughan, and so do we. Our shop is on Applewood Cres in Concord, which means a Vaughan backyard is a ten-minute drive rather than an hour on the 407 — and on a build that matters, because the crew is on site early and stays late.

Common questions

Vaughan questions

When is the best time to plant in Vaughan?

Spring and early fall. Mid-summer works but needs far more water, and anything planted after the ground starts to freeze is a gamble.

Can you fix the dead strip along the driveway?

That is road salt, not winter kill. It is improved by flushing, gypsum, topdressing and overseeding — or permanently by replacing that strip with a mulched or stone border.

Do you remove the old material?

Yes. Sod, soil, old stone and plant material are hauled off as part of the job.
