Toronto
Hi! My name is Lena and I am a gardener with five years of experience in the residential landscaping industry and a two-year full-time Horticultural Technician diploma.
I'm currently booking consultations for July for one-time visits. I am currently not taking on new maintenance clients at the moment.

Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Unfortunately, I have to evaluate the property in person in order to accurately quote the work.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I always keep my distance when consulting with clients and wear a mask when I am in close proximity to high touch areas.
Garden Clean-Ups
For most average-sized properties that have not been looked after by a professional landscaper, the initial clean-ups start at $200.
I specialize in pruning and training vines, shrubs, and trees up to 10'. I also shear formal hedges. Eco-friendly landscaping means pruning based on knowledge of the flowering and growth habit of each plant.
The typical clean-up also includes:
-Leaf and debris clean-up
-Shaping, dead-heading and cutting back herbaceous perennials
-Weeding of garden beds and hard surfaces
-Edging
-Blowing/sweeping hard surfaces
-Bagging/tying all debris for p/u
Bi-Weekly Garden Maintenance
I provide regular maintenance visits for small to medium sized residential properties. I visit properties once every two weeks from April to November for a cost of $150-$250 a month. The cost depends on the services included and property size. As of now, I can only provide lawn mowing if you have a lawn mower for me to use on site.
Garden Design and Planting
I love using native and non-invasive plants in my garden designs to ensure your garden is adapted to the Toronto climate and supportive of the local eco-system. In addition, I only use organic fertilizers to enhance plant health and soil nutrition. By using my services, you will see the difference between your garden surviving and thriving!
Flower Container Design and Installation
I will assess your property conditions and design a floral and foliage display for spring (April-May), summer(June-August), fall(Sept.-Oct), and/or winter (December).
A single season costs $120 for up to four 12 inch diameter flower pots (or two 18 inch diameter pots). For a garden bed, I can design and install a seasonal display for $120 per 15 square feet. Prices may go up for larger containers or extra soil costs. Summer annual flowers (June-August) are the most requested for our hot and humid Toronto summers.
Floral container design costs can be integrated into your regular garden maintenance package.
Garden Design Concept and Detail
After your free consultation, I can create a personalized presentation with a basic garden design concept for $50-$100, depending on the complexity, due upon receipt of the design. I will then provide you with a free quote for labour and materials to install the design.
