We are in a new era when it comes to the greenery that makes up the space surrounding our houses and within our neighborhoods.

Our team is well-versed in a wide range of drought-tolerant, chemical-free and sustainable alternatives, that will not only thrive in your outdoor space but also minimize your ecological footprint. Moreover, we are here to further educate you on the beauty of lower-maintenance, flowering alternatives that challenge the aesthetic norms. So, let's embark on this journey together and keep your outdoor space fresh, vibrant, and in harmony with our beautiful Manitoban nature.
sustainable maintenance
Weeds, ranging from tree seeds to pesky perennial weeds like plantain, effortlessly find their way into any yard. There are many ways how to deal with these kinds of weeds, but we offer a range of organic methods to effectively tackle these invasive plants. Our weed control services include hand weeding, targeted flame weeding, eco-friendly iron-based herbicide application, and the sustainable soil solarization technique. As we understand that different locations possess unique conditions, diverse flora and fauna, and varying landscapes, we tailor our strategies accordingly. Regardless of the site, our commitment remains the same - all our weeding practices are non-toxic, and we strictly withhold from using glyphosate in any circumstance.
maturing gardens
We believe in working with nature, not against it, to address the numerous challenges of garden maintenance. This process must be considered well in advance of planting the plants. Our team begins by conducting expert site assessments to develop a customized garden plan that takes into account site conditions such as soil quality, light availability, moisture levels, wind patterns, slope, and pests. The selection of plants must complement these site conditions. By carefully choosing hardy, low-maintenance species, we strive to minimize the use of resources and the amount of maintenance required.
Unfortunately, low-maintenance gardening is often misinterpreted as "no-maintenance." The truth is that even a lifeless concrete slab necessitates some level of upkeep, and living gardens are no exception. In fact, gardens are ever-changing and teaming with life. It is easy to forget that they are dynamic ecosystems capable of supporting life beyond the plant kingdom, including insects, microbes, and small animals. "Low-maintenance" denotes gardens that can withstand drought, extreme climatic conditions, or excessive pollutants. It also includes plants that require minimal or no mowing, trimming, deadheading, or demonstrate notable resistance to disease or pests. Each year, as weather conditions vary, the level of maintenance your garden requires will also vary.
