Fencing Services

There are many reasons why people install fences. Whether it is for privacy, security, or meeting legal obligations such as around swimming pools, there are a number of fencing solutions and styles available. Fences can be constructed from pressure treated wood, chain link, ornamental steel, composite, or vinyl. Each are available in a variety of styles and heights.

Are you aware of your community fence by laws? Most municipalities have a 7 foot high maximum height restriction. If you own a swimming pool, you must be sure that your fence meets standards regarding fence height and material spacing.

We believe that proper installation will provide a good looking fence for years to come. When installing a new fence, here are a few things to keep in mind;

• Make sure you know your property line
• Discuss the installation with your neighbor. This could avoid a lot of grief
• Hire a reputable contractor to install the fence

Proper fence installation procedure is important to remember in order to end up with a beautiful long lasting fence. As an example, here are a few things that Turf Pro staff are trained to do when installing a pressure treated wood fence.

• We contact Ontario One - Call Before You Dig to arrange locates of underground utilities
• All fence post holes are dug 3 ½ to 4’ feet deep. It is important that the posts are set below the frost line or they may pop up with frost
• All posts are set in concrete. Excess dirt from the digging is removed and disposed of
• To maintain an esthetically pleasing fence line, posts are generally set at equal spacing. If the installation is on an uneven grade, we set fence sections at suitable “step downs”
• Fence brackets are used to secure the structure to the posts
• Simple jigs are used to make sure the board spacing is the same throughout the project
• Fence boards are nailed, not screwed in place because screws will deteriorate faster than galvanized nails
• Gates are installed with proper bracing. Often we install headers over the gate. This reduces the possibility of the posts moving and making the latch system fail
• No matter the type of fencing that you wish to have installed, be sure to hire a reputable company. Turf Pro can help

Deck Services

Did you know that installing a deck is a very inexpensive way to enlarge your living space? But where do you start? Many homeowners dream and plan their own deck. Some need help or appreciate input from someone who installs decks. Others need someone to design a deck that will accommodate their lifestyle. At Turf Pro, we can help. On large projects, a designer can produce a plan the fits all the pieces of your project together. On deck only projects, one of our estimators would meet with you and either quote your plan or listen to your wants and help come up with a deck design and then place a quote.

A decision you will have to make is, what material will I use to make my deck?

Today, most decks are installed using pressure treated wood. Manufacturers of this product pressurize lumber with a chemical that provides a relatively long life span. You should expect to get 20 years out of a pressure treated wood deck. Pressure treated wood is chosen primarily because of its economy. The most common colour of pressure treated wood is brown. Black is also available. It time, both will fade to a common gray. If you choose pressure treated wood, you must realize that the wood is prone to crack and possibly twist. It is the nature of the wood.

More and more homeowners are considering installing their deck using composite material. There are a number of different manufacturers of composite decking. This is a definite upgrade! The decking and associated railing systems are beautiful. There are a variety of colours available. Most composite material are hard to scratch, will not fade and have long warranties. The primary draw back from using composite material is cost. It is expensive but it will make a beautiful and long lasting living space. Most composites are also hot in the sun and slippery when wet.

Once the design and material is chosen and the contractor is hired, there are certain steps to follow:

• Check to see if you require a building permit. If for example, your deck is over 24” off grade or if it is around a swimming pool, you will need a building permit. Turf Pro can direct you on this and supply the necessary design material that city hall will need to process your application
• We will contact Ontario One - Call Before You Dig to arrange locates of underground utilities
• We will remove and dispose of an existing deck if that is required
• All posts are set 3 ½ to 4 feet below grade with concrete. This will minimize the possibility of the posts heaving after the frost starts coming out of the ground each spring
• All substructure is built to code
• Proper size bolts and lags are used to secure the beams, railing posts, etc
• Whether it is pressure treated wood or composite material that is to be used, appropriate deck board spacing is completed
• Privacy walls, railings, deck skirts, benches, planters and steps are completed
• Too hot? Add a roof, shade screen or an outdoor fan
• Too cold? Add a gas fire pit or electric heater. Doing so will extend your useable deck time by at least one month
• Add your table, chairs and BBQ then invite the neighbours to enjoy your new deck

Retaining Walls

Retaining walls look and serve their purpose well. Once completed, they may look like easy items to install, but be forewarned, they are labour intensive. Like so many installations, a proper base and an understanding of construction methodology is absolutely necessary.

As a landowner, the initial decisions involve where to place, how high, how long, 1 level or multi-tier and what material should be used. Turf Pro staff can help design a plan and show you material options. Some material options are: 6 x 6 pressure treated lumber, armour stone (large natural stone boulders of various size and colour), flagstone, man-made block stone from manufacturers such as Oaks, Permacon or Unilock.

Turf Pro installers contact Ontario One - Call Before You Dig to arrange locates of underground utilities before we start your installation. A channel that is wider than the retaining wall material is excavated. Depth of excavation is dependent on the chosen wall material. The subgrade is compacted. An A-gravel base is installed and compacted. The first course of the retaining wall is set. It is very important that this first course is set level and slightly below the finished grade at the front of the wall. The wall is then built up. Depending on height and material used in constructing the wall, we may have to install “dead man tie backs” or geotextile material to help stabilize the wall. It is necessary to avoid the accumulation of moisture behind the wall. If moisture freezes, it will expand therefore pushing the wall out. To avoid this, we install a perforated Big O at the base of the back side of the wall and extend it to a place of exit. A filter cloth is laid behind the wall and in front of the soil that the wall is to retain. The area between the back of the wall and soil being retained will be filled with clean ¾” gravel. This will allow water to freely flow to the Big O and then exit the wall. The filter cloth will keep soil from seeping through the wall and keep the gravel backfill from mixing with the soil behind the retaining wall. Top soil is installed on top of the gravel back fill. The area is cleaned up and you can enjoy your purposeful and beautiful retaining wall.

Lawn & Garden Maintenance

Since our beginning in 1983, Turf Pro Landscaping has been providing lawn and garden maintenance for London and area homeowners, businesses and property managers.

Most of our customers rely on us for full property maintenance service. This service spans from April through November. Included in these services are:

• One thorough spring cleanup of all winter accumulated debris in April. Lawn preparation includes picking up sticks, leaves and litter and raking lawn areas. Garden preparation includes cutting back ornamental grasses and topping perennials as well as edging all gardens
• Weekly lawn and garden service involves: *weekly lawn cutting, *weeding and edging of gardens, *trimming shrubs as required to keep a neat and uniform look. This service generally begins in late April and runs through October
• One final leaf cleanup is completed when all the leaves have fallen in November

Other customers rely on us to cut and trim their lawns only, without garden or shrub maintenance.

It is the extras that count. I believe that our friendly and knowledgeable staff provide service” plus” when it comes to customer satisfaction. They are always happy to accommodate your needs.

Lawn Application Programs

Remember what your mother said, “brush your teeth regularly and they will look good”. Maintenance is key. The same maintenance strategy is true in regard to achieving and maintaining a beautiful, green and lush lawn. Turf Pro Landscaping offers programs or individual services that can help you achieve desired results.

The biggest bang for the buck is regular fertilizer treatments. Most people realize that nitrogen will make your lawn green, but did you know that nitrogen primarily only helps the portion of the lawn that you can see (the leaflet). Nitrogen will make the leaflet green and beautiful, but to sustain a great lawn you need more than that. Phosphorus converts nutrients into usable building blocks which help plants to grow. Potassium is necessary for plant growth and propagation. It promotes root growth. A properly balanced fertilizer will help produce and maintain a beautiful lawn.

Aeration of lawn areas is a very good idea. As a young child in the 60’s, I can well remember a couple of things that documented that spring was finally here. Seeing the first Robin was one. Another was rolling our lawn. It made sense at the time. A good rolling flattened the lawn and made it easier to walk on. What it actually did was compact the lawn and the soil beneath it. The thinking now is to open up the soil so fertilizer, water and air can penetrate the soil. This is very beneficial to all lawns, but extremely beneficial for lawns that are on heavy clay soils.

Slit/overseeding of lawn areas is another very helpful practice. It is especially helpful on lawn areas that struggle for one reason or another. The slit seeder is about the size of a lawn mower. Its’ motorized slats, slice the soil open at 1” intervals. Grass seed is dropped from the hopper. Some of the seed rests in the open slits, some remains on the soil surface. The intended outcome is that the seed germinates and grows, therefore thickening the lawn.

Proper watering of the lawn is also essential to a great lawn, especially in the dry summer months. Are you considering having an irrigation system installed in your yard? Call Turf Pro and we can arrange a free quote. Whether you have an irrigation system or struggle with water hose and sprinkler, remember that it is better to water deeply and less often than regular light watering. Light watering will force roots to grow closer to the soil surface where they find the water. The lawn will be under stress if dry conditions persist and you don’t water. Deep watering will provide water to the bottom of the grass roots. Deeper roots are more protected from heat and drought stress.

A variety of other lawn applications can be arranged such as nematodes for grub protection, lime to correct Ph levels in the soil, and corn gluten to help with crabgrass and weed control.

Grading & Drainage

If you have just purchased a new home and need the soil to be properly graded, we can help.

If you have an existing lawn that just never dries up, we can help. Sometimes it’s a neighbour that has changed the grade on their lawn and water cannot freely flow away from your property. Sometimes soil settles or erodes thus creating a low spot where water collects. If you have heavy clay soil and water cannot freely percolate away, it may just sit on the surface. Whatever the reason, sitting water is not good. It’s not good to lose the use of a portion of your lawn after every heavy rain. It’s sure not good for your lawn or garden.

By far, the best way to deal with poor drainage is proper grading. Anytime we can get water to run off the surface is best because it avoids potential future issues such as clogged drainage pipes.

Alternative measures are:

• Install drains in the ground that will collect the water and then digging in drainage pipe to carry the water away
• Install French drains/basins. In this situation, we excavate soil to form a large hole in the ground. We can either insert a large barrel with a sump pump that will pump water to another location or line the hole with geo-cloth fabric. Clean gravel can be installed. This will collect water and let it percolate away through the bottom and sides of the excavated area

If re-grading, it is always good to check your work with a laser level before completing your project. It would be a shame to do all the work that is necessary, re-sod the area and then realize that the low spot has just moved and not really been corrected. Our professional staff can guarantee a properly graded property.

Outdoor Living Areas

Let me guess, if you are like most homeowners, you have a deck or a patio. You might enjoy a few meals outside. You might sit in your comfy chair from time to time. Your time in the backyard is probably limited to warm sunny days. Privacy may be non-existent. It is utilitarian, but not stunning.

What would you think if I told you there is a way to dramatically transpose your back yard to a phenomenally beautiful paradise where you would want to spend all your time? A place that would compete with those lovely landscapes in the glossy magazines!

Increasingly, there is a movement away from the basic deck or patio with a few gardens, toward a multi-facetted living space. By this, I mean creating a space that has everything you might expect in a dream retreat centre. A place where your deck and/or patio is just part of a bigger plan.

Imagine having a roof of some sort to provide shelter from the sun and rain.

Imagine a gas, propane or real wood fire pit that you could enjoy on those cooler nights. Perhaps an electric area heater that would extend your useable time in the backyard by up to a month.

Imagine an outdoor kitchen with running water, electrical service and a built in BBQ with brick facing and granite counter top.

Imagine a beautiful water feature: a pond, pondless waterfall, water bubbler, etc.

Imagine lighting that accents key visual areas in your yard.

Imagine relaxing watching your favourite TV show on an outdoor television set, while you are kept cool by an outdoor ceiling fan in a nicely light area by an outdoor lamp.

Imagine capping it all off with beautiful plantings throughout your yard.

Imagine . . .

I get excited just thinking about how we could transform your yard from ordinary to incredibly amazing!

This section describes the culmination of all the services we offer. It is the design, the installation and the maintenance of your dream landscape. We would love the opportunity to sit with you and dream together. Let’s dream, not of what you have, but rather of what you could have.

Fire Pit Services

Do you have memories of sitting around a camp fire as a young person? I do. In fact I still enjoy it. There is something mesmerizing about the flicker of a flame. There is something wholly relaxing about sitting in front of an open flame at the end of a long day.

Turf Pro staff can install basic, open pit, wood burning fire pits. Some homeowners prefer a built up fire pit. This can be done by installing cap rock (large natural stone boulders) or man-made block that form a raised fire pit.

Fire pits can also be built for use with propane or natural gas.

Safety is always a concern when dealing with fire. We must be sure to provide suitable ventilation and of course keep the placement of the pit away from buildings, structures, etc.

If you decide to use natural gas as your source of energy, we involve a certified gas installer to do all hook ups.

Natural Stone Work

There is an incredible selection of natural stone available for use.

• Random flagstone of different thickness and colour is available for retaining walls, walks/patios, stepping stone pathways
• Square cut flagstone for patios and sidewalks
• Drywall stone, wall stone, armour stone or cap rock is available for retaining walls
• Limestone rockery for décor through-out your garden
• Waterfall rock for waterfalls and other water features
• Natural stone steps (square cut and random)

Whatever your project is, it is hard to go wrong with natural stone. There is a beauty and elegance that is difficult to reproduce in a man-made product.

As with all installations, providing a proper base is all important. Without that, the finished job will look great, but only for a while. Turf Pro staff are trained to know the proper excavation depth when installing an aggregate base for patios or retaining walls. They are also trained on other proper installation technics such as how to build retaining walls constructed from natural stone.

Homeowners that attempt to use natural stone in a “do it yourself” project should be mindful that it is easy to do a bad job. Unlike man made blocks that are manufactured to fit perfectly with one another, natural stone is like working on a giant jig saw puzzle. It takes a lot of patience and you must have an eye for it. Natural stone is also very heavy. Larger stones will need equipment to handle and maneuver material into place.

Interlocking Brick

Manufactures have come a long way in designing interlocking brick. 4 x 8’ pavers used to be the norm. While they are still available, the sky is the limit in regard to brick size, shape, colour, and texture. There are now several manufacturers that produce some amazing products. Turf Pro tends to use Unilock, Permacon or Oaks products more than any other manufacturer.

Current trends are:

• A very clean look with straight lines
• The use of larger brick is also quite current. Some interlocking brick are as large as 15 x 21”. Some “slab” brick is even larger
• The use of various dimensions of brick in the same project
• Borders or bands of brick close to the outside edge of the patio. Sometimes bands define the different functional areas of an outdoor living such as kitchen, fire pit, hot tub or lounge areas. Often the bands are a different colour and even a different type of brick than those used on the rest of the project

One of the biggest improvement over the years is the development of polymeric or stabilizing sand. Years ago brick sand was swept into the joints of interlocking brick. Weed and grass seed continually grew in the joints. A number of years ago, manufacturers developed polymeric or stabilized sand. Once watered, the man-made sand became very hard. Once hardened, this manufactured sand severely restricted grass or weed seeds from growing in between the interlocking bricks. This was a vast improvement or brick sand. Recently, new products have been developed that work even better. Next-gen technology works amazingly!

In many of these descriptive write-ups, there has been mention of proper base preparation. When it comes to installation of interlocking brick, it is absolutely vital that proper preparation be done. Failing to prepare well will result in a poor job that may not be evident at the time of installation, but it will become evident in time. As an example, I am sure you have seen driveways with ruts where vehicle tires have sunken the brick.

Proper excavation depth depends on the type of subsoil. Climate also plays a part in proper excavation depth. To install an interlocking brick driveway in south western Ontario, an excavation of at least 15” will be required. A sidewalk or patio will require at least 11” of soil to be removed.

The installation process is as follows:

• Turf Pro staff remove and dispose of all existing soil
• Proper aggregate base material is installed, leveled and compacted. To provide ultimate stability on a driveway, we install a gravel base then install a concrete pad. The bedding sand and interlocking brick is placed on top of this solid pad and there will never be a problem with settling because of vehicular compaction
• 1” of bedding sand is installed and leveled
• The interlocking brick is installed. It is important to wear personal protective equipment when cutting the brick. Steel toed boots, eye and hearing protection and proper face mask are all very important during this process
• Edge restraint is installed around the perimeter of the brick. This helps contain the brick and reduces the brick from bulging out
• Install next-gen joint stabilizer. Sweep into joints
• Tamp all brick work and sweep clean
• Sprinkle water over the project to set the stabilizing sand
• Install top soil and sod along the edge of the brick work
• Clean up site
• We leave. You enjoy!

Front Entries

You have heard the phrase, “curb appeal”. It is that first, and may I add, longest lasting impression that a person gets when looking at your home from the curb. What do you see? What does a passer-by see? Don’t be surprised if the onlooker sees something different than you do. You might see, the way your house looked when you moved in – all nicely washed, manicured lawns, gardens that were weeded and edged and shrubs that were uniformly trimmed. The seller wanted to show case their home. Do you still see the same beautiful entry? Or has time taken its toll? From time to time, we have to update. The reality is that our home is our single greatest asset. If we neglect it, it will not retain as much value as it should. So let me ask again, “Is your appeal from the curb what it should be? If the answer is yes, that’s fantastic, but if you are doubtful, perhaps it is time to allow a “Turf Pro passer-by” to meet with you and plan how it could be updated.

Perhaps you are building a new home and you presently have a blank slate. What an excellent time to plan your curb appeal with something that you will be very proud of.

An update may come in any number of ways. Perhaps a new interlock brick walkway to your front door would provide a graceful and welcoming feel to visitors. Possibly a retaining wall with pillars that form a structural feel to your main entrance would enhance your property. At very least, the pillars would be a great place to showcase your favorite pot of annuals each summer or your seasonal decorations. It may be that a simple lawn fertilizer application would pick things up or perhaps a total rebuild of all existing gardens is in order.

If you look at your front entry with eyes wide open and if you think you would like some help to enhance and update, we can help.

Planters

Increasingly homeowners are getting away from planting large numbers of annuals in gardens. Personally, I like the colour annuals provide in a garden, but admittedly, it can be time consuming to weed and water them. A much more affordable and less time consuming way to get amazing colour is by planting annuals in a pot.

Today there are so many different sizes and shapes of flower pots. If flower pot planting sounds good to you, but you don’t know where to start, call Turf Pro. We can have someone design and install a planter with plants or just install plants in your container. You will be given a list of the plants used as well as water and fertilizer care tips.

Landscape Design | Build

Remember, consultations are Free! Take advantage of our consultation time to inquire about how your project could benefit from a custom design made by our in-house design staff. Whether you are looking for something as simple as a garden renovation, to something as complex as a complete outdoor living space design, our team can provide what is necessary to bring these ideas to life. Our design staff can meet with you and find out what your goals and wants are for the desired project. Your wants at this stage are very important. We want to know your preferences of materials and plants. We want to know anything that will help make this design perfect for you. We offer packages that range from simple 2D plans to complete packages with 3D renders and virtual walkthroughs.

There are many benefits of receiving a custom design prior to construction. With our 2D and 3D designs, you can see what your project can look like, right down to the individual plants as well as the colour and texture of hardscaping materials. With the education, knowledge and experience on our design staff as well as in consultation with our experienced installers and horticulturists, you can be sure that you will receive a design that is not only beautiful but will be work and last.

We offer 3 levels of design packages at Turf Pro Landscaping:

• PROessential
• PROcomplete
• PROcompletePLUS

The prices of our designs will depend entirely on the extent of the desired project. A quote for a design can be provided after a consultation with a Turf Pro team member.

A finished design with amendments made in discussion with you, can then be quoted for install by our experienced Design|Build crews.

Turf Renovations

If you install an addition to your home, you will have lawn damage. If the sewer or other utility has to be dug up, you will have lawn damage. If you are overrun with weeds or insects (or the animals that feed on the insects), you will have lawn damage.

If . . .

You get the idea. Even your perfect well, kept lawn can suffer damage. Whether it is installing sod on your newly built home or replacing a whole or part lawn on an older property, we can help.

Sod damage can of course be repaired by seed or sod. The decision to seed or sod will depend on your preference and by the size and extent of the installation. Here are a few tips to help make your decision easier.

Seed installation:

• If the existing lawn is in somewhat decent shape, it may be wise to save some money and try top dressing and seeding or slit/overseed
• Seeding is less expensive than sodding
• We do not guarantee seed. While grass seed generally comes along fine, there are too many things that can go wrong (lack of water, too much water, wash out during a storm, feeding birds, excessive heat and dryness)
• If top dressing with bulk soil, remember that no one can guarantee what is in the soil. If there are weed seeds, you will not know until they start growing

Sod installation:

• When sod is installed you are left with an instantly green lawn
• Typically, it requires daily watering for only 2 weeks, then leave it to grow
• As long as you water, we guarantee our sod installations
• Weed free lawn at the time of installation

Given the pros and cons, I’d suggest sod to repair your lawn in the vast majority of cases.

Lighting

Have you ever seen a professionally lit landscaping? It can be breathtaking. Up lights, down lights, step and walk lights and spot lights. Incredible. They are an amazing way to show case your landscape and home. Lights also create a perfect ambiance, whether you want a bright party atmosphere or a dim “chill out” feel.

This is a prime example of “you get what you pay for”. Over the years we have installed several light packages. Often clients opt for the cheapest package. It’s okay. I too am budget conscience. All too often however, the cheap plastic light stop working. It is just a reality. Cheap is cheap. Cheap will not last forever.

Other clients have used In-Light Design or Vista Professional Outdoor Lighting. Both products have excellent quality. The transformers are solid. The light fixtures can be either solid brass, powder coated aluminum or copper. There are a number of different styles that can be used to highlight different areas of interest. Everything about these units scream quality. They will literally last a lifetime.

If you are interested in installing a lighting package at your home, let Turf Pro bring you a sample. We could leave a high quality transformer and a 3 light set at your home for a trial period. You’ll love it!

Shade Structures

It’s been said that the only bad thing about being out in the sun, is being out in the sun. I get it. I work in the sun all day. On a day off, I usually make my way to the shade. Perhaps you are the same. Perhaps not, but even if you love being in the sun, I am sure you can appreciate the need to get out the suns intense rays at least some of the time.

Finding a good source of shade can be difficult. We offer many options for your deck or patio.

• We can build a shade/roof structure. These can be constructed from rough cut timbers or pressure treated wood. They can be clad with composite material or aluminum
• We can install a basic arbor. If that does not provide enough shade, we can slant the top arbor joist to provide some protection from the sun. If more shade is required, we can install manual or motorized shade screens that draw back and forth under the canopy of the arbor
• Whade sails off shade and colour
• We can even install an outdoor ceiling fan to keep you cool on those lazy hot summer afternoons

Outdoor Kitchens

A basic, yet common outdoor kitchen is a completely equipped if you have a BBQ and a flipper. The reality is, a BBQ is really all we need to cook burgers BUT let’s dream! As I am writing these landscape options and services, I am getting excited to go out and build something. I hope you also are dreaming of what your back yard oasis could be. If you are, wouldn’t it be fantastic to add the lure of an outdoor kitchen.

Your BBQ could be set in a permanent counter. Often we install a brick or stone facing on the sides of the counter and incorporate cabinet doors and shelves. Be sure to incorporate a vent or two. The BBQ will put off a lot of heat and you wouldn’t want to create a fire hazard by keeping the cabinet air tight. A granite stone counter top will set it off. Why not add a sink with working plumbing? A light for late night BBQ’s? An arbor or roof to protect you from the rain? Now you are set to entertain!

Water Features

I will often ask homeowners if they would like a water feature in their design. The normal reaction is, “No I don’t want a pond”. Did you know that water features refer to much more than ponds?

Some customers like the full out pond. Plants, fish, bridge, water fall – the Works! They are beautiful but not everyone wants one. Other options include:

• Pondless waterfalls. These are actual waterfalls without a pond. Depending on the size of the waterfall, we can make them sound loud or quietly trickling. Basic construction involves digging a hole. The hole must be deep enough to house the pump and water reservoir. In our area, it must be at least 3 feet deep if you are wanting to keep the waterfall running all winter. The excavated soil can be used to form the base of the waterfall. A rubber liner is placed in the excavated area and up the waterfall. A snorkel is a plastic unit that will house the pump underground. It has a lid that can be lightly covered by river stone. This can be easily accessed to remove or repair the pump. A properly sized pump will be set in the pump. Tubing will run from the pump to the microfalls container that will be placed at the top of the waterfall. The microfalls unit will provide a beautiful spillway for water to start at the top of the waterfall. All piping will be hidden from sight. Stones will be used to build the waterfall. Stone choice is up to the homeowner. There are a number of stones to choose from. The excavated area is then filled with riverstone or other stone of your choice. Let us add plants to make your water feature look natural. We then add water, turn on the pump and you get to enjoy the look and sound of a waterfall without the maintenance or liability of open water. Beautiful!
• Water bubblers. The installation of a water bubbler is very similar to that of a pondless waterfall. The big difference is there is no microfall container. The water comes up through a stone or object of your choice and re-circulates through the stone. These create soothing sounds of moving water. Add a light to feature your bubbler and enjoy!
• Water streams. Imagine a water stream meandering around your patio and through your garden. Water streams are installed using the same construction method as water bubblers or pondless waterfalls. It is amazing to see a natural looking creek meander through your oasis
• Full out ponds. I know that I started by saying that homeowners often start by saying they would not care to have a pond, but let me assure you, most pond owners love them. They provide a beautiful and ever moving piece of landscape paradise. Whether small or large, a pond is absolutely amazing. Water plants, underwater lighting, fish, frogs – what an amazing project. It would be a focal point admired by yourself and visitors to your home

Snow & Ice Maintenance

Turf Pro is well equipped to handle winter’s worst. We have several tractors and trucks that staff use to plow large commercial sites as well as single residential homes. Truck salters are dispatched to control ice on parking lots. Dedicated sidewalk crews clear snow from walkways and apply de-icer as required.

How it works:

• Contracts are signed in the fall and carry through the 5 winter months. (November through March). Services are tailored to the property owners’ specifications. Most commercial and multi-residential properties are full service including: snow plowing, road salting, sidewalk shovel/blow and de-ice. Other available services are snow re-location and snow removal
• Snow clearing commences when there is an accumulation of 5 cm (2 inches) or more. Snow plow operators and sidewalk crews are dispatched
• Once plowed, salt trucks are dispatched
• Our intention is to have all properties serviced before 7 am, or in the case of an ill-timed snowfall within a reasonable time after snow has accumulated
• On all multi-residential properties (apartment buildings and condominium sites, plow operators will return between 9 am and 5 pm to plow accessible parking spots and driveways when most vehicles have vacated the premises
• Properties are monitored on a regular basis in order to keep the site safe
• Based on weather forecasts and ice patrol monitoring, salt and de-icer applications are applied on an as needed basis
