The space includes neatly arranged landscaping with shrubs, potted plants, and a well-maintained lawn. There are outdoor seating areas with tables and chairs, and a fenced yard provides privacy. The setting feels tranquil and well-organized, ideal for relaxation or small gatherings.

Short answer: We tend to have a 6- to 8-week waiting list throughout the summer. Despite unpredictable weather and myriad other uncertainties, we rarely have major delays.

Longer answer: Summers are short in Winnipeg and within that short season, demand for landscaping services fluctuates.

What to expect at throughout the year

Booking the previous fall

Some people are comfortable planning their spring projects in the previous fall. These people not only get their project done in the high-demand spring season, but can pretty much decide when their project happens down to the week.

Booking in March

March still feels like winter in Winnipeg and so if you book then, you'll be way ahead of most Winnipeggers and you'll be able to schedule your project for May.

Booking in April

Bookings really start coming in for us in mid-April. It's really only when May hits that it really feels like we are free from the snow, so mid-April can actually feel early to some people, it's a good time to book if you're hoping for a shorter wait time of maybe 4 weeks or so, for a project start in mid-May.

Booking in May or June

By the time May rolls around we are pretty sure we're free of snow and people are thinking about spring projects. This is peak booking season and you'll an approximately 8 week delay between booking and your project start date.

Booking in July or August

Since most people try to book in the spring and early summer, your wait times for a project booked in July and August can be a bit lower, approximately 6-8 weeks.

Booking in September

It's not uncommon that we can get your job done with not much lead time if you book in the fall. This can vary a lot from year to year. In a busy summer, we may still have a significant backlog of work in September, but other years, we may be able to accommodate you within a week or two.

Smaller Projects vs Larger Projects

Occasionally, we have gaps in our schedule that can be filled with smaller projects. If what you need can be done in just a day or two, you might be in luck, but generally we work on a first come, first served basis.

Larger projects require more planning time, and need to be booked further in advance.
