2. With frigid weather and blowing snow, thoughts turn to
green gardens filled with beautiful flowers, greenery and
patios with cool drinks. What are your spring plans?
January is the best time to start, because spring will be
here before you know it, and the best landscapers &
hardscapers in Mississauga book early.

3. At Toemar, we make planning easy with these five basic
steps:
1. Do your research including both style and functional
design. For example, it’s just as important to make sure
your pathway placement is right for the look as for usage
and avoiding water accumulation

4. 2. Set a budget. This is the bottom line: what you can afford
to spend on your project will dictate the extent of your
plans. This might seem like an obvious statement but it’s
always interesting how every spring, people have BIG
projects and haven’t given a thought to how it will be
paid for. If you need to meet with the bank, now is the
time…

5. 3. Draw out your plan. Sketch out what plants, walls, or
other ornaments you will want to add. Don’t forget to
include measurements, including grade and slope, where it
impacts the project. It doesn’t need to be exact, that’s your
landscaper’s job, but it will make it much easier for your
team to quote and to make sure everyone is on the same
page

junipers instead of palm trees) and that sense that you’re in another
world. Strategically placed seating areas create a welcoming
ambiance for neighbours to catch up and enjoy a little downtime.

10. Walls, Steps And Spacing In
Your Landscaping
Adding rocks and boulders to create walls can take a large yard and
add some smaller, more intimate spaces to enjoy and decorate with
perennials, annuals and greenery of all types. Each season, we
receive a large shipment of rocks from local quarries and yes, we
DO deliver!

Your Landscaping
Looking to save on groceries this year? Or perhaps reduce
chemicals in your diet. Why not create a gorgeous kitchen
garden with raised beds? A well-planned old-fashioned
garden will provide visual interest and edibles all season,
and is a source of wonderment for children. Preparing the
right kind of soil is key, especially if this is the first time
you’ve turned the earth over. Adding a garden path makes
watering and weeding easier. Just remember to fence it off,
or create a smaller second garden for the rabbits!

Your Landscaping
Adding stone steps leading up to the front of your home
can completely enhance the front view and landscape.
Surrounding those steps with
elevated plantings is welcoming and visually interesting.

walls, pavers and natural boulders (all available at
Toemar.) This is one of the fastest ways to amp up your
home’s curb appeal and therefore its resale value…
