Our Lawn Care and Landscaping Services
At Landscaping Coquitlam Ecopros, we offer a variety of services for your lawn and garden. Whether you need power raking and lawn fertilization or commercial landscaping and lawn maintenance services, all you have to do is ask! If you are not sure exactly which services you need, don't worry. We will assess your lawn and recommend the services that will bring out the best in your lawn. The following are a few of our most commonly requested services, but don't hesitate to call us with unusual needs or requests. If it relates to the health and beauty of your lawn, we can probably make it happen!
Power Raking and Lawn Fertilization
If you are looking for a way to remove the dead debris and crust that build up under your lawn, then this service is for you. Power raking will remove all the thatch that has built up in a gentle way to minimize the damage to your lawn and help it grow back stronger than ever.
We generally recommend power raking in early spring as it helps boost the growth of new seeds and opens up the lawn surface, enabling water and sunshine to hit those new green blades for better growth. Power raking is almost always followed by lawn fertilization to help the existing and newly sprouting grass grow stronger and thicker.
We offer seasonal or one-time lawn fertilization as a stand-alone service as well. Even a healthy lawn can benefit from regular applications of nutrients. Whether your lawn is struggling to grow or you want to keep it in good health, ask us about our power raking and lawn fertilization services today!
Lawn Overseeding and Topdressing Service
Lawn overseeding is exactly what it sounds like - spreading new grass seeds over an existing lawn to help it grow thicker and healthier. Over time, many lawns thin and grow weak - especially if they are subject to a lot of foot traffic (from people or pets). To help offset this problem, overseeding replenishes your lawn with countless tiny opportunities for new growth. After a couple weeks of consistent watering, new grass will spring up to fill in the thin or bare patches, and your lawn will be thick and lush again in no time!
We also offer topdressing services, often in combination with lawn overseeding. This service involves covering your lawn with nutrient-rich, fresh soil to help your lawn recover from soil compaction, heat stress, and nutrient deficiency. Together, top dressing and overseeding create the perfect environment for a healthy, happy lawn!
Lawn Mowing and Garden Edging Service
Depending on the type of grass you have, your lawn will need to be mowed at least once a week during the growing season. Regular mowing helps your grass grow healthier by keeping it within its optimum growth range. We understand that not everyone has time or energy to keep their lawn in pristine condition however - that is why we offer lawn mowing services at an affordable price so that every yard in Coquitlam has the opportunity to look its best.
In addition to basic lawn mowing, we also offer garden edging services. Edging gives your lawn crisp, clean edges, which provides an aesthetically pleasing transition from your lawn to the driveway, sidewalk, or garden beds. We offer both one-time and regularly scheduled mowing and edging services, and we tailor our services to your unique space and situation. Call us today if you are ready to say good-bye to your routine lawn maintenance tasks!
Weed and Moss Control Service
Moss and weeds not only destroy your lawn’s beauty; they can even kill your grass if left unchecked! Therefore, it is important to take action as soon as you notice these nuisances in your lawn. Our weed and moss control solutions will not only rid your lawn of these intruders; we also discourage them from coming back.
All of our weed and moss control methods are non-toxic and organic, so you never have to worry about what we are putting on your lawn. Your lawn will be safe for pets and children as soon as we are finished (though we do recommend waiting 24 hours to use your lawn so that the treatments settle in properly and in the intended places). Whether your lawn is overrun by weeds or you want to insure that this never happens, call us today. We offer affordable pre and post-emergent treatments for all types of lawns!
Paver Installation and Repair Service
Whether you are looking to install concrete pavers or repair existing ones, this service is also for you. From garden stepping stones to patios and driveways, our paver installation services will give you a sturdy, durable surface that you can enjoy for years to come. Because we dig down deep and properly prepare the ground prior to installation, your new pavers will not shift or sink over time or in a heavy rainstorm.
If you have existing pavers that have cracked, sunken, or settled, we can help restore them to their original quality and beauty. Using methods similar to those we use for installations, we can level and secure existing pavers so that they too will withstand the test of time. No job is too big or too small for us - whatever your paver needs, call us today to get started!
Retaining Wall Installation
Retaining walls are great for preventing erosion and leveling sloped lawns, but they can also serve a purely aesthetic purpose in your landscape. Regardless of your reasons for wanting a retaining wall, you can trust our construction experts to build a solid retaining wall that can withhold the pressures of water, wind, and soil. We custom design each retaining wall with your lawn's conditions in mind while ensuring that we meet all city and neighborhood regulations as well. All you have to do is call us to see how your lawn can benefit from a well-built retaining wall!
Landscape Irrigation and Drainage
To grow a healthy lawn, you will need to keep it adequately watered at all times. Doing this by hand makes very easy to over or underwater your yard, however, which can actually cause more harm than good. Instead, we recommend installing a custom-designed irrigation system that will take the guesswork out of watering. Even a simple irrigation system will help you ensure that every plant in every part of your landscape gets exactly the amount of water it needs when it needs it.
Proper drainage is just as important for a healthy lawn as proper irrigation - if excess water can't escape your lawn, it will pool in unsightly places, making your lawn unusable for a time and providing the perfect breeding ground for moss, mosquitos, and more. Our drainage solutions are tailored to your lawn's needs - from simple drainage troughs to elaborately disguised French drain systems, we can help your lawn shed excess water without compromising its beauty or design.

Landscape and Garden Design
One of the best things about owning property is the freedom to design it according to your own needs and wishes. While some homeowners are great at reworking their outdoor spaces, many people prefer to work with a landscaping expert. If you fall into the second category, we are here to help. From small garden designs to extravagant outdoor entertaining spaces, we can bring your vision for your yard to life. No lawn is too big or too small for our designers! We are a turnkey landscape designer, so we will walk you through the entire process from initial design ideas to final installation. Just give us a call to get started!
Commercial Landscaping and Lawn Care Services
Are you looking to improve the curb appeal of your business or commercial property? While we have focused on residential properties while discussing most of our services, all of these services are also available to business, strata, and other commercial property owners and managers. We can help you plan, design, install and maintain your business space no matter how extensive it is. Get in touch with us today for the best commercial landscaping services in town!
Why Are Landscaping and Lawn Maintenance Important?
Do you know all of the benefits you can reap from maintaining a healthy lawn? Our team has compiled a list of the top reasons why you should prioritize keeping your lawn garden in shape. Let's take a look:
Added visual appeal
One of the biggest reasons people grow and care for their lawns is to add visual appeal to their homes. With so many options in style and complexity, a lawn can be an extension of your home's design. From your favorite flowers in the garden beds to shade trees hung with outdoor lighting, landscaping can turn your home into a place that brings you joy - before you even step inside.
Improved flood control
Another great thing about landscaping and maintaining a healthy lawn is that it helps break strong water currents that can form in heavy rain. Every landscape we design includes drainage options that will protect your lawn from erosion. Appropriate landscaping helps to maintain all the nutrients that your lawn requires to grow thicker and healthier. If flooding is a problem on your property, let us help you use landscaping to take control of the flow of water through your outdoor space.
Reduced noise
Do you live in a noisy neighborhood? Though it's probably not the first solution you think of, landscaping can actually help reduce the noise level on your property. Noise bounces off of hard surfaces, but soft, organic elements like grass and landscaping plants stop noise in its tracks. Whether you work from home during the day or are just looking for a little peace and quiet while you sleep, landscaping can help create the quiet oasis you want in your home.
Cooler temperatures during warm weather
Just like noise bounces off of hard surfaces, heat is radiated and reflected by hardscaping elements like stone and concrete. Softscaping elements, the living, green parts of a landscape, however, absorb heat. Trees also provide shade for your property, which science has shown can lower ground temperatures by several degrees. If you are looking to stay cool in the summer heat, a well-landscaped yard (especially one with water features) is the perfect place to enjoy the outdoors without sweating too much.
Safer play spaces for children
If you have children, we don't need to explain to you why it is safer for them to play in a grassy yard than in one covered in rock or pavement. The inevitable falls, bumps, and bruises are much less common and severe when children play on soft, forgiving surfaces like well-maintained grass. And as we mentioned above, a few shade trees are also a great way to keep an area where children play during the summer a little bit cooler!

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is landcaping?
Landscaping is the process of modifying and enhancing the natural features of an outdoor area, such as a garden, yard, or piece of land, to create a more aesthetically pleasing and functional environment. It includes activities such as planting trees, shrubs, flowers, and other vegetation, as well as shaping the terrain, installing hardscape elements like pathways, patios, and retaining walls, and adding decorative features such as fountains, sculptures, and outdoor lighting.
-
Do I need a permit or approval for my landscaping project?
If you live in a single-family residence, the City of Coquitlam does not require you to obtain a permit before undertaking a landscaping project. However, be sure to check with any local neighborhood associations before starting extensive landscaping projects to be sure you will not be asked to make changes later.
Commerical properties and new developments may need permits for large landscaping projects - it depends on the nature and location of your project.
Regardless of the nature of your project, we will help you navigate all the legal requirements of your landscaping. When you contract with us, you don't have to worry about incurring fines or legal action of any sort!
-
Why is lawn care important?
Lawn care is important for several reasons. Firstly, it helps to prevent soil erosion, absorb rainfall, and filter pollutants, which all contribute to environmental health.
Secondly, a well-maintained lawn enhances property aesthetics, increasing curb appeal and property value. It can foster community pride and cohesion by creating inviting outdoor spaces for socializing and recreation.
Overall, investing in lawn care not only benefits the environment and property appearance but also enhances community connections and individual health and happiness.
-
How often does my lawn need to be mowed?
The frequency of mowing your lawn needs depends on the type of grass, the season, the rate of growth, and your desired lawn height. In general, during the growing season, which is typically spring and summer, lawns may need to be mowed every 1-2 weeks. However, this can vary.
A good rule of thumb is to mow when the grass reaches about one-third higher than its ideal height. For most grasses, this usually means mowing when the grass is around 3 to 4 inches tall. Cutting more than one-third of the grass blade at a time can stress the lawn and impede its ability to thrive.
During periods of slower growth, such as in cooler weather or drought conditions, you may not need to mow as frequently. Conversely, in periods of rapid growth, such as after heavy rainfall or with certain types of grass, you may need to mow more often.
Observing the growth of your lawn and adjusting your mowing schedule accordingly is key to maintaining a healthy and attractive lawn.

How much does lawn maintenance cost?
The cost of lawn maintenance varies with the size of your lawn, the services required, the frequency of maintenance, and your location. The following are rough estimates to help you get a basic idea of costs, but we recommend contacting us for a free quote before planning your budget!
Basic Lawn Maintenance typically includes mowing, edging, and debris removal. Prices can range from $25 to $50 or more per visit, depending on the size of the lawn and the level of service.
Additional services such as fertilizing, weed control, aeration, overseeding, and pest control will add to the overall cost. Prices for these services can vary widely based on the specific treatment and the size of the lawn.
We are also able to offer discounts on certain services when you purchase several services at once or sign a contract for season-long services. We do everything we can to keep our services as affordable as possible, so just don't hesitate to discuss your budget with us when you call us!
