Done by our Guelph crew
Garden beds, planting, mulch, crisp edges, and new sod — landscaping that makes a Guelph property look intentional, from a local crew that actually shows up.
Service details
Guelph Home Services handles the landscaping most homeowners actually want: garden bed design and planting, mulch, edging, grading, and sod. Our crew does the soft-landscaping in-house and coordinates a vetted local pro for big hardscape builds.
Overgrown, tired beds are the fastest thing to age a Guelph property. We reshape beds, pull what's done, and plant hardy perennials, shrubs, and seasonal colour suited to Guelph's climate zone (5b) and your light. New-build yards in Westminster Woods, Clairfields, and Kortright get the most out of a real planting plan instead of a builder's token cedar.
A crisp spade edge and a fresh layer of mulch is the single best dollar-for-dollar curb-appeal upgrade there is — it defines the beds, holds moisture through July, and smothers weeds. We supply and install mulch by the yard and keep it off the trunks and siding where it does damage.
Low spots that pool water, bare patches, and rough new-build ground get graded and either seeded or sodded. For a full new lawn, see our sod installation service — often bundled with the bed work so the whole yard gets finished in one project.
Planting, beds, mulch, edging, grading, and sod are our own crew. Larger hardscape builds — interlock patios, retaining walls, big stonework — are coordinated with a vetted local hardscaper through the same request, with us staying your point of contact so you're not managing three trades.

FAQ
It ranges enormously — a mulch-and-edge refresh on existing beds is a modest, quick job; a full bed redesign with planting and grading is a project. Send photos and a rough idea of what you want and we'll quote the real scope, not a vague range.
Spring through early fall for planting and sod; mulch and edging can happen any time the ground isn't frozen. Fall is an underrated window — cooler weather establishes plants and sod with far less watering stress than July.
Both. For most Guelph yards a practical planting plan — right plants, right spot, low maintenance — is what's actually needed, and we'll lay that out with you. Larger formal design projects can be coordinated with a designer.
Yes, and it's what we usually recommend given Guelph's watering bylaw. Hardy perennials and native-friendly plantings mean less watering, less replacing, and beds that still look good in a dry August.
The soft landscaping around them, yes. For the hardscape build itself we coordinate a vetted local interlock and stonework crew through the same request, and handle the planting, grading, and finishing once it's in.
Yes — most of our landscaping customers are already on lawn care, or start once the yard's redone. One crew for the beds, the lawn, and the seasonal cleanups keeps everything consistent.
