FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What’s your scope of service?

We do plants! We are not able to provide hardscaping services such as pathways, stairs, decks, patios, etc. We also don’t provide intensive landscape site preparation such as large-scale sod removal, regrading, excavating, or clearing. Local contractors, hired by the client, will be brought in if these services are required.

What kind of plants do you offer?

We mostly work with native perennial plants, which are hardier, provide more wildlife value, and generally solve more ecological problems compared to most non-natives. We aim to include at least a 70:30 ratio of native plants:non-native plants. We sometimes mix in non-natives to elevate design aesthetics, but will never include invasive plants in our designs. Most of our plants are in plug trays or small pots, which keeps our plant material costs and installation time down.

When does this work typically happen?

Site visits can be scheduled during late spring, summer or fall. The best plant installation times are May-June and September. At our discretion, we will install plants in the summer provided that our client is very committed to watering.

What’s your service area?

Our main service area is Haliburton, Ontario. We will also provide service to clients in Muskoka and Kawartha Lakes regions. We are able to take on clients outside of our main service area for an additional mileage fee.

Do I have to do everything at once?

We can phase your project over a few years to match your budget, time, and comfort level.

I have a green thumb. Any options for me?

We’ve got you covered with our Discover and/or Design Package, Masterclasses and/or our curated Native Plant Kits (coming soon!). These options will empower you to take on your own DIY project as your time and budget permits.

Does Meadowsweet Naturescapes offer a guarantee?

We provide high-quality plants from reputable nurseries and are confident in their success if provided the right care and maintenance. Watering and weeding, especially during the first season is critical and is the responsibility of the client. As such, Meadowsweet Naturescapes does not offer a guarantee. As a commitment to your success, we provide care guides and 2 complimentary follow-up visits during the first year, booked at the owner’s request.
