Our landscaping services
Whether you need a single element or a whole-yard transformation, we handle every part of the job — design through installation — so you deal with one accountable local team from start to finish.
Garden bed design & planting
We shape and plant garden beds with trees, shrubs, perennials, and flowers chosen to thrive in Chatham-Kent's climate and your yard's light — designed for year-round interest, not just one good week.
Mulch supply & installation
Fresh mulch suppresses weeds, holds soil moisture through hot spells, protects roots, and instantly gives every bed a clean, finished, professional look.
Bed edging
Crisp, defined edges between lawn and beds are the single detail that makes a yard look professionally kept. We cut clean natural edges or install edging materials.
Shrub & hedge trimming
Regular, proper trimming keeps shrubs and hedges healthy, dense, and shapely — and stops overgrowth from hiding your home and swallowing walkways.
Sod installation
Quality sod gives you an instant, established lawn for new builds, bare patches, or a tired front yard — green and usable in a fraction of the time seeding takes.
Stone & border installation
Natural stone, decorative rock, and borders define beds and pathways, cut down on maintenance, and add texture and permanence to the landscape.
Seasonal colour
Annual and perennial colour plantings keep your property looking vibrant through spring, summer, and fall — a small touch with outsized curb-appeal impact.
Full yard makeovers
Combine several elements into a cohesive plan that reimagines your whole property. We can phase larger projects to fit your timeline and budget.
Our design & installation process
Great landscaping starts with a plan, not a shovel. Here’s how a Chatham Lawn Care landscaping project runs from first visit to finished yard:
1. Free on-site consultation
We visit your property, look at sun, soil, drainage, and existing plantings, and talk through how you want to use and enjoy the space.
2. Design & plan
We put together a plan — plant selection, bed layout, materials, and a clear, itemized quote — matched to your home's style, the Chatham-Kent climate, and your budget.
3. Scheduling
We book your project for the right season and give you a realistic timeline. Larger makeovers can be phased so you spread the work and cost.
4. Installation
Our crew does the work — bed shaping, planting, mulch, edging, stone, sod — with care taken to protect your existing lawn and property throughout.
5. Clean-up & care guidance
We haul away debris, leave the site spotless, and give you simple guidance on watering and caring for new plantings so everything establishes well.
Landscaping is the best return on curb appeal
Your landscape is the first thing anyone sees — buyers, neighbours, guests, and customers. A thoughtfully landscaped yard makes a home look cared-for, larger, and more valuable, and it’s consistently one of the highest-return improvements a homeowner can make dollar for dollar.
You don’t need a huge budget to see the difference. Even a focused refresh — fresh mulch, clean edges, a few well-placed plants, and a trimmed hedge — can completely change how your property reads from the street. If you’re selling, it can be the difference between a drive-by and a showing.

What good landscaping delivers
- Higher perceived — and often real — property value.
- A standout first impression from the street.
- Lower-maintenance beds thanks to mulch and clean edging.
- Year-round interest instead of one short bloom.
- Healthier plants chosen for the Chatham-Kent climate.
Landscaping for homes and businesses
Residential
From weekend-project beds to full front-yard makeovers, we help Chatham-Kent homeowners create outdoor spaces they love to come home to — designed for real life, low maintenance, and lasting curb appeal.
Commercial
A sharp landscape tells customers and tenants you run a professional operation. We design and maintain grounds for offices, plazas, condos, and multi-unit properties, and can pair it with commercial lawn care for season-long upkeep.
What affects landscaping cost in Chatham-Kent?
Landscaping is priced per project because projects vary so much — a mulch-and-edging refresh runs a few hundred dollars, while a full makeover with planting, sod, and stone is a larger investment. Here’s what shapes your quote:
Scope & size
How much of the yard you're transforming and how many elements are involved is the biggest driver.
Materials
Plant sizes, sod, mulch, and especially stone and hardscape materials vary widely in cost.
Site prep
Removing old plantings, dealing with poor soil or drainage, and difficult access add labour.
Design complexity
A simple refresh costs far less than a custom, multi-bed designed makeover.

Landscaping FAQ — Chatham, Ontario
Straight answers to the questions we hear most about landscaping in Chatham and across Chatham-Kent.
Do you design landscaping, or only install it?
We do both. Every landscaping project starts with a free on-site consultation where we look at your property, listen to how you want to use the space, and design a plan that fits your home, budget, and the Chatham-Kent climate. We then handle the full installation — bed shaping, planting, mulch, edging, stone, and sod — so one team takes your yard from idea to finished result.
How much does landscaping cost in Chatham, Ontario?
Landscaping in Chatham-Kent ranges widely because projects do — a fresh mulch-and-edging refresh might run a few hundred dollars, a new garden bed with planting a few thousand, and a full front-yard makeover with sod, stone, and plantings considerably more. Rather than a one-size price, we give a free, itemized quote so you can see exactly what each element costs and phase the work if you like. Most homeowners are surprised how much curb appeal a modest budget buys.
How long does a landscaping project take?
Most residential landscaping projects in Chatham-Kent take anywhere from a single day to about a week of on-site work, depending on scope. A mulch refresh or bed edging is often a one-day job; new plantings, sod, or stone borders take longer; and larger multi-element makeovers are scheduled in stages. We give you a clear timeline with your quote and keep you updated throughout.
Do you do mulch and sod installation?
Yes — mulch and sod are two of our most popular landscaping services. We supply and install fresh mulch to suppress weeds, hold soil moisture, and give beds a crisp, finished look, and we lay quality sod for an instant, established lawn on new builds, bare areas, or tired front yards. Both make a dramatic difference in curb appeal fast.
Do you offer commercial landscaping?
Yes. Alongside residential yards, we design and maintain landscaping for commercial properties across Chatham-Kent — offices, plazas, condos, and multi-unit buildings. A well-kept commercial landscape signals professionalism to customers and tenants, and we can pair it with recurring grounds maintenance so your property looks sharp all season. Ask about our commercial lawn care and grounds programs.
When is the best time to landscape in Chatham-Kent?
Spring and fall are the prime seasons for planting and larger installs in southwestern Ontario — cooler temperatures and reliable moisture help new plants, shrubs, and sod establish with less stress. That said, hardscape work like stone borders, edging, and mulch can be done through most of the season. We book projects across spring, summer, and fall, so the best time is really whenever your yard is ready.
