Barrhaven's new subdivisions are a blank canvas. CleanYards transforms builder-grade yards in Longfields, Chapman Mills, and Half Moon Bay into custom garden landscapes.
Barrhaven homeowners in Longfields, Chapman Mills, and Half Moon Bay often face the same starting point: builder-grade sod on compacted subsoil with no garden beds, no borders, and no personality.
Garden installation in Barrhaven typically starts from scratch. Builders leave compacted fill with a thin layer of topsoil, which means proper soil amendment is critical before any planting goes in. We excavate planned bed areas, break up compaction, add quality compost and topsoil to the right depth, and then install plants that will actually establish in these conditions. Many Barrhaven homeowners also want their new gardens to meet HOA appearance standards from day one, so we pay attention to clean edging, consistent mulch depth, and tidy finishing.

Barrhaven's former-farmland soil was heavily compacted during development. Successful garden installation here requires excavating bed areas and replacing or amending the subsoil, not just planting into what the builder left behind.
We install gardens throughout Barrhaven's subdivisions regularly, often working on multiple properties in the same development. Our familiarity with local soil conditions means accurate quotes and efficient project execution.
Barrhaven's wind-exposed lots demand windbreak-conscious garden placement. We position taller plantings and structural shrubs to create shelter for more delicate perennials and annuals in your new beds.
Complete garden installation for Barrhaven homeowners. From soil prep to finished planting, handled by one experienced team.
Barrhaven's compacted builder soils need full bed preparation before planting. We excavate, amend, and install flowers that establish quickly in these newly created growing conditions.
Young Barrhaven properties need foundation plantings and privacy screening. We install shrubs and trees with proper root preparation and staking for the wind-exposed conditions typical of these subdivisions.
Raised beds are especially popular in Barrhaven where native soil quality is poor. We build custom beds that bypass the compacted subsoil entirely and fill them with proven growing mixes.
Barrhaven's open sun exposure is ideal for vegetable production. We install raised or in-ground veggie gardens with quality soil mixes that outperform the developer-left fill by a wide margin.
Crisp edging instantly elevates Barrhaven's builder-grade landscapes. We install defined borders between new gardens and existing sod that stay clean through mowing and seasonal changes.

This has been my first year with CleanYards and Sebastian. I have been more than pleased with the work he has done for me. The yard maintenance and the fall clean up have been done very well, much better than I could do myself. I look forward to next Spring when I can have Sebastian do more jobs for me.

Recently had new sod installed. Sebastien and Andre were friendly and helpful in helping me understand the work they would be doing, did a fantastic job, provided a helpful guide and an open channel of communication on advice for future care, and all at a good price. Would recommend Sebastien's business to anyone!

We work from designer layouts or homeowner plans and handle HOA-standard finishing.
Barrhaven garden installation ranges from $900 to $3,500+ depending on scope. The soil prep component is typically more intensive here due to builder-grade compaction, which adds to base costs. Small front-bed installations start around $600. We provide detailed quotes after assessing your specific property.
