Professional Garden Maintenance in Ottawa

South Ottawa garden owners in Nepean, Barrhaven, and surrounding communities trust CleanYards for consistent, professional garden maintenance that respects the character of their landscapes.

The capital region's Zone 5a climate, with deep frost from November through March and heavy spring thaw, demands a maintenance schedule tuned to Ottawa's specific conditions. Mature canopy areas in Nepean need shade-tolerant plantings and careful pruning windows, while newer suburban gardens in Barrhaven and Riverside South require establishment care, soil amendment programs, and ongoing weed management to reach maturity.

Local Landscape

Ottawa's Rideau River corridor deposits alluvial soil that supports different plant communities than the sandy uplands further from the water. Your maintenance plan should reflect what's actually in the ground.

Community Presence

We maintain gardens across Nepean, Barrhaven, and south Ottawa's surrounding communities on regular biweekly routes. Efficient scheduling means competitive pricing for homeowners.

Seasonal Care

Ottawa's first hard frost typically arrives mid-October, with the last frost in early May. We start spring garden cleanup as soon as the soil is workable and continue fall preparation through to freeze-up.

What We Do

Ottawa Garden Maintenance Services

Comprehensive garden care for Ottawa homeowners. Every aspect of your garden handled by one trusted team.

Weeding & Bed Care in Ottawa

Weeding & Bed Care

Ottawa's mature canopy creates heavy shade conditions that favour persistent weeds like ground ivy and creeping charlie. We handle beds across south Ottawa's residential communities.

Pruning & Shaping in Ottawa

Pruning & Shaping

Heritage shrub borders and ornamental trees throughout Ottawa's established communities require careful seasonal pruning to maintain shape without stressing the plant.

Seasonal Planting in Ottawa

Seasonal Planting

We select Zone 5a annuals and perennials suited to Ottawa's short growing season: frost-hardy varieties that perform from May through October.

Mulch Installation in Ottawa

Mulch Installation

Ottawa's freeze-thaw cycles make mulch essential for root protection. We apply spring and fall mulch to gardens across south Ottawa at the right depth for each bed.

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!
