From heritage perennial beds in the Glebe to newly planted gardens in Kanata, CleanYards keeps Ottawa gardens healthy and beautiful through every season.
Ottawa garden owners in the Glebe, Alta Vista, and Kanata 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 Alta Vista and the Glebe need shade-tolerant plantings and careful pruning windows, while newer suburban gardens in Barrhaven and Orléans require establishment care, soil amendment programs, and ongoing weed management to reach maturity.

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.
We maintain gardens across the Glebe, Alta Vista, Kanata, and Barrhaven on regular biweekly routes. Efficient scheduling means competitive pricing for Ottawa homeowners.
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.
Comprehensive garden care for Ottawa homeowners. Every aspect of your garden handled by one trusted team.
Ottawa's mature canopy creates heavy shade conditions that favour persistent weeds like ground ivy and creeping charlie. We handle beds from the Glebe to Kanata and beyond.
Heritage shrub borders and ornamental trees throughout Ottawa's older neighbourhoods require careful seasonal pruning to maintain shape without stressing the plant.
We select Zone 5a annuals and perennials suited to Ottawa's short growing season: frost-hardy varieties that perform from May through October.
Ottawa's freeze-thaw cycles make mulch essential for root protection. We apply spring and fall mulch to gardens across the city 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!

Common questions from Ottawa homeowners about our garden maintenance services.
Our Ottawa garden maintenance includes biweekly weeding, pruning, deadheading, mulching, seasonal planting, edging, and pest monitoring. We customize the plan based on your garden's specific needs. A shade garden in the Glebe needs different care than a sunny suburban plot in Kanata.
Ottawa garden maintenance typically runs $50–$120 per visit for standard residential gardens, depending on size and complexity. Heritage perennial gardens and estate properties may be $120–$250+. We offer seasonal packages for consistent biweekly service.
