services.
One of our passions is to create healthy lawns that are lush, and outdoor spaces that are an oasis. Whether it's grass, plants, flowers or trees, the health of each of these living things begins with a strong, nurturing foundation. It's what's underneath the organic material that makes the difference.
Healthy soil, free of chemicals, such as pesticides, insecticides, pests and weeds, gives the roots the energy required to grow strong.
Water is, of course, a key ingredient. Too much is just as bad as not enough. One of our goals is to keep lawn and garden care as low maintenance as possible for each of our clients. This is when our irrigation and sprinkler specialists will review the data we collect during our assessment and then will make suggestions based on budget and time.
Another important component is the amount of sunlight the outdoor space it will get daily, as well as seasonally. In cases where there can be too much or too little sun, we may suggest a different species of grass designed to better thrive in your environment.
Traffic is also important. Lawns are great to walk on but too much traffic on a grass covered area can lead to degradation of both the surface and under surface areas. In cases such as this, we may suggest a solutions such as a brick path be installed in order to protect the integrity of the area.
There's no job to big or too small. We love working in the various neighbourhoods in the Greater Victoria area. Our approach to beautiful green grass is to begin with proper installation. This is much easier when starting a project from scratch.
However, for many of us we have inherited whatever ground covering already in place when we bought a house, for example, and may or may not have or have taken the time to pay the proper amount of attention to it in order to help it recover. Over time this becomes a bit of a mess with moss and weeds growing and choking out what could become a green lawn.
There is still hope. Sometimes a gentle restoration will be enough to reclaim a specific area. In other cases the best approach is to clear the land and start over.

There are many different types of grasses available to the consumer today. Based on various characteristics, they can be classified into several categories such as their growth habits, appearance, and use. Some common types of grasses are:
- Cool-season grasses: These grasses thrive in cooler climates that we have across Canada and are often used for lawns, sports fields, and golf courses. Examples include Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, and tall fescue.
- Warm-season grasses: These grasses grow best in warm climates and are often used for pasture, erosion control, and landscaping. Examples include Bermuda grass, Zoysia grass, and St. Augustine grass.
- Ornamental grasses: These grasses are grown for their attractive appearance and are often used in landscaping and garden design. Examples include fountain grass, feather grass, and Japanese silver grass.
- Native grasses: These grasses are indigenous to a particular region and are often used for prairie restoration, erosion control, and wildlife habitat. Examples include big bluestem, little bluestem, and Indian grass.
- Cereal grasses: These grasses are grown for their edible grains and are important crops worldwide. Examples of these types of grass include wheat, barley, oats, and rice.
