Public spaces have their own design and maintenance challenges for a Toronto Commercial Property Maintenance Company.  Thousands of people arrive on the property and stand in and around the gardens, frequently discarding garbage and trampling annuals.  Landcare maintains this property year round keeping gardens and walkways free of debris and looking their best. Perennials such as Barberry and fountain grasses were added to fill spaces and detract visitors from entering the gardens.  They provide enhanced texture and interest to the preexisting blanket annual plantings.  Mulching and drought tolerable plants help keep gardens healthy and weeds free during the summer's dry heat.  During Toronto's cold snowy winters, Landcare's commercial maintenance crews provide snow removal and deicing to driveways and sidewalks.  Like most of Toronto's GTA, this property has busy pedestrian traffic year-round and Landcare keeps them safe by consistently monitoring the property and de-icing when necessary. Ripley's Aquarium is a good example of the value of Commercial Landscaping. The great feeling of joy meets clients before they even enter the building.

This Gardener's paradise was created with the homeowners request for lush gardens within a very liveable space where they could entertain and relax.  The rear entrance from the city road was dug down two feet to allow the homeowner to ride her bike and enter the property without climbing the steep grade.  You take steps up to the expansive patio area.  Modern Unilock "Richcliff" rectangular paving slabs along with the clean lines of the circular patio furniture provide contrast textural full sun and shaded bursting with gardens roses, echinacea, daisies, hostas, and hydrangeas.  Lattice along the fences with allow vines to climb and further create a garden oasis.  Blocks of Armour Stone used sparingly bridge the modern elements with the English garden plant material.  A raised bed of pink hydrangea makes gardening easy and sets off the homeowners fantastic sculptures.
