How package prices work
Every package price starts from a typical Calgary city lot. After the walk-through you get the exact price in writing, and it does not change during the season unless you add work.
- Yard size and access. Corner lots, back-lane access and steep slopes take longer and are priced to match.
- Plants and materials. Bulbs, perennials, bark and soil are listed separately so you can see what you are paying for.
- GST. Prices are shown before the 5% GST, which is added on the invoice.
Questions people ask
What if it snows in May?
Spring visits move to the next dry day and you get a text with the new date. Snow in May is normal here, and the schedule allows for it.
Can I skip weekly lawn visits while I am away?
Yes. Tell us a week ahead and we skip those visits; the season price is adjusted for the visits you missed.
When does the snow contract start and end?
Season snow contracts run from November to March. If snow comes earlier or later, Snow Call visits are available on request.
Not sure which package fits?
Tell us about your yard and the seasons you need. We suggest a package after the walk-through, with the visits and price in writing.
