Thank You!

Now that March is upon us and the ground is beginning to thaw, it is time to start planning and prepping your lawn and garden for the Toronto summer. Landscaping really makes all the difference to the exterior of one’s home, and if you plan your Toronto spring landscaping project now, in March, the exterior of your home is going to be a sight to see come spring time.

Summer is the time when we decorate our yards with beautiful and colourful plants. Plants come in a plethora of colour and not only can they enlighten our moods, but they can also enhance the curb appeal of our homes. We here at Elm Landscaping, have made landscaping our specialty and would like to provide you with a few excellent choices to incorporate in your landscape.

Ornamental grasses come in a plethora of shapes, colours and sizes and add a striking visual aspect to any landscape. They have quickly become quite the front-runner for gardeners. They were mainly used by experienced professionals only decades ago as they were quite a novelty. The grasses quickly gained a reputation as a low maintenance and hardy vegetation that creates a visual attraction to garden beds and containers.

The thoughts of tree branches laden with blossoms and budding leaves, the sight of emerging flowers and the smell of the earth’s thaw is upon us. It is a wonderful time of the year and yet it is also one that can fill us with such trepidation. As the lengthening sunlight warms the earth it also sheds light on the recesses of our yards, those emerging glimpses of what is and the dreams of what might be.

Mulch is an important element to any garden. Whether you choose organic or inorganic mulch – if you’re asking yourself the question “to mulch or not to mulch” Elm Landscaping can point you in the right direction. Mulch helps to prevent weeds, it retains a moisture wall in your soil while regulating its temperature, and it looks great too.
