GREEN LANDSCAPES
Compost and GAIA Green Organic Fertilize

Spring and fall are the perfect times to give your garden a much needed boost. Soil nutrients become depleted over time, especially in gardens that work as hard as our clients’. Compost adds macronutrients back into your soil. We use premium organic compost (no smelly animal products here!) that has been finely screened to remove any clumps. Benefits: Compost improves soil texture by breaking down clay, improves moisture retention, increases drainage and improves the formation of root structure for plants.

 

For an added boost, we are also now offering GAIA Green Organic Fertilizer for spot treatments around shrubs and perennials. A balanced combination of nutrients and minerals, GAIA is a slow release fertilizer that works best when applied under a fresh layer of compost or simply cultivated into your garden soil. It is completely natural and organic – haven’t we all had enough of chemicals?

Please contact your Horticultural Sales Representative (HSR) for details and pricing.

This large corner property in central Toronto is surrounded by a mature Yew hedge which is tightly trimmed for added privacy. The boulevard is also maintained and is an extension of the expansive grounds. The 9 sections of lawn are edged with gardens

award 1

Non Turf Ravine-edge Oasis

This downtown estate sits on the crest of a Ravine with various small pockets of lush low growth under a canopy of Maple Forest. The rear garden pool overlooks the natural ravine garden which includes a private reading bench to provide a little quiet time. The large front Peony gardens are surrounded by formal Boxwood hedges.

award 1

Residential Maintenance and Annual Plantings

This elegant stone home sits on a ravine setting in north Toronto. The newly completed stonework created planting beds to make the entrance to this residence a breathtaking experience. Rich colours, abundant plantings and window boxes overflow with blooms. The lawns and gardens which frame the abundant plantings make this residence an award winning show stopper.

 

award 1

Residential Maintenance

This urban estate is bursting with blooms. The large strategically placed gardens and generous planters create an exceptional experience. The private rear terraces are surrounded by mature evergreens, tall grasses, perennials and annual gardens. The plantings reflect the client’s wishes to be surrounded by flowers throughout the seasons.


award 1

Container Gardening

The client’s residence is the ultimate urban experience in a row of beautiful townhouses. The international businessman calls this home on the weekend and when
he arrives wants his home to reflect his lifestyle. The request is simple “just make them fabulous” for the front planters which are replicas from the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.
