PROFESSIONAL GARDEN MAINTENANCE SERVICES
IN NORFOLK COUNTY & WATERLOO REGION

The gardens of a property are often the first impression visitors get of your home and family. We understand how maintaining the ever-growing garden bed can be an overwhelming prospect, or even just something outside your comfort zone. Jody’s Lawn Care (JLC) love to get our hands dirty in the soil, ensuring that only the plants you desire are growing and flourishing, striving to remove or prevent unwanted species from invading. We have dedicated teams for garden management, led by team leads experienced and educated in the horticultural arts. 

We know the care people have for their gardens, and we will align your goals for your garden with our own, guaranteeing that your garden grows how you want it to. We listen to requests and are sure to incorporate your specifications. This can range from freshening up mulch in garden beds, to edging, adding or removing plants, to even filling in or building new flower beds! It goes without saying that we are expert weed pullers too! Whether you just need help with a garden renovation, plant freshen up, or need consistent visits to help manage weeds, we are happy to help. Our team’s meticulous attention to detail, which includes being sure to remove not only complete roots but also tidying away the leafy material from the sprouts as well (stopping left over vegetation from propagation between weed pulling visits), addressing the important task of reducing weed burden and creating true progress with weed prevention. We want your garden to begin looking like it doesn’t need us, not require continuous (endless) weeding! 

For more extensive garden projects, we can certainly help. Through our relationship and experience with local garden nurseries and substrate providers, we know the best places to get the highest quality components for your next garden project. If you want to change out your black mulch for a natural brown, we can help. If you want to add river rock for a natural drainage from downspouts, or cover sandy garden beds in landscaping tarp and quartz stone, we can do that for you. Thinking of changing out your rubber garden edging for some concrete border, brick or wooden beams? We got you. Want to change out your annuals for some well thought out perennials? We can make suggestions for types that will suit your property and tastes best and ensure you go to the most reliable sources. A great goal is to change over a garden to more native species and encourage natural pollinators while reducing invasive (albeit pretty) imported species; let our gardening team help make this goal reality. We even have contacts for quality tree sourcing, if you want to add some real shade to your property!  

We even have services for businesses. Many commercial properties are looking for recurring garden management to control weed populations and ensure flowers and brush are trimmed of dead or sickly material. We take pride in providing a clean, tidy looking garden bed for your company; whether the audience be employees or visiting commercial partners, the standards we set for ourselves are high. We can also help to create ideas or recommend plants that will be suitable for your location, taking note of sunlight requirements and soil types to encourage success. Does your company have a specific colour scheme they want to mirror in their flower beds? We can help plan that with you and get it in the ground! Commercial gardens can range in complexity, from a combination of Hostas, grasses and hedges to colour filled blooms alternating with green toned shade plants and lush ferns edged in stone or with a backdrop of evergreen hedges. Let us help display your company’s love of nature with a great curb appeal. 

An extension of our garden services also leads to our lawn seeding and sod installing skills. We can evaluate your property and plans to help guide to whether slitseeding may suit your property and follow-up care best, or if sod is the way for you to get that green, golf course look! Assessment of your soil quality, how much (if any) topsoil may be required, and whether your water availability will help support a lawn refreshment are all services we can provide to help you begin the path to a healthy, lush lawn. Both seeding and laying sod have pros and cons. Seeding provides a stronger root system, and a more resilient vegetation over time; however, sod (when cared for diligently) can provide a near immediate result of green grass. These differences and how they can affect your decisions will be discussed with you by our estimate and garden team, giving you all the necessary information to make an informed decision as to how you want to grow your lawn. We will then source the high-quality seed or sod you select and be sure to plan suitable planting or installation dates to suit the time of year and moisture levels.  

The garden team at JLC love what they do and are thrilled to spend the days outside in your gardens making them look magazine worthy. Call us if you need any help with your garden projects or maintenance, it makes us blossom with possibilities!
