Landscaping and property maintenance are two different trades, and North Bay homeowners mix them up every week. Landscaping is a design and build service: grading, patios, retaining walls, planting plans, one-time construction projects. Property maintenance is the recurring upkeep that follows: grass cutting, seasonal cleanups, junk hauling, and snow clearing. EdmisonH&P Property Maintenance runs the maintenance side year-round and takes on landscaping projects by request, so whichever side your job lands on, it starts with the same call. This guide sorts out which kind of work your yard actually needs. Questions? Call or text 705-358-6852.
Landscaping is construction for your yard. A landscaping contractor changes what the property is: regrading a slope so water runs away from the foundation, laying interlock or a stone patio, building retaining walls and walkways, designing garden beds, and planting the trees and shrubs a designer drew on a plan.
Landscaping work is almost always a one-time project. It has a start date, a finish date, drawings or at least a sketch, and a project budget. When the crew leaves, the transformation is done, and the yard you own is a different yard than the one they arrived at.
EdmisonH&P's standing schedule is built around maintenance, but the crew takes on landscaping projects by request. Describe the job and get a free quote; if a project calls for more than the crew takes on, you will hear that straight instead of a runaround. Either way, this page helps you sort the project work from the upkeep that follows it.
Property maintenance is the recurring upkeep that keeps a yard the way it is. Nothing gets designed or built; things get cut, cleared, raked, hauled, and shovelled, over and over, on a schedule. It is the work that never stays done, which is exactly why people hire it out.
In North Bay that looks like grass cutting and yard maintenance through the growing season, spring and fall cleanups at either end of it, junk removal when the garage or basement finally gets dealt with, and snow removal through the winter, which EdmisonH&P currently runs inside North Bay only.
Maintenance is priced by the visit, the season, or the truckload rather than as a project budget, and the relationship is ongoing: the same crew comes back because the grass and the snow do too.
This is maintenance, not landscaping. Nothing was built in this North Bay yard: waist-high growth was cut back to lawn in one visit, shot on site by the crew.
