Landscaping

Artificial grass is an aesthetically pleasing, no maintenance, no water, option for having green space in your yard. Whether it is for the look of your business or home, entertaining, pets, or play (you or the kids), there is an artificial grass option for you.

While the elimination of water needs and maintenance is a very large, obvious benefit of synthetic turf, there are many other benefits to consider. Turf does not require additional nutrients to keep it green, this means no fertilizer runoff that ends up in your local streams, rivers, and lakes. This lack of fertilizers also makes synthetic turf a great option for anywhere pets or kids may play as it makes a safe surface without risking exposing them to fertilizers or pesticides that are applied to grass to keep it green and healthy.

Unlike grass, synthetic turf will not wear bare in high traffic areas or die from either too much or too little sun. This makes it perfect for entertainment areas or under pet runs or playgrounds – anywhere that creates shade but you still want grass underneath. Additionally, because of the design and care taken during installation, puddles will not form on your synthetic lawn, making play and entertainment possible even in the wet months.

The technology and design of artificial grass have come to a point where the grass looks and feels more real than ever. Enjoy the feel of playing on the grass without the risk of grass stains.

At Clear Sky Yard Care & Landscaping, we only use the highest quality, Canadian-made synthetic turf.

When your home or business is ready for grass, there are two options available to you: seed or sod.

If your property is in need of a quick facelift of your outdoor space, sod is the way to go. When the pre-grown rolls of grass are installed, there is quickly a look of fresh green life. It still needs regular watering in order for the grass to root into the dirt beneath it but by using sod, you are able to avoid the delay of grass seed germinating and patchy look as it comes in. Both seeded grass and sod need time for their roots to become established before they can be used for regular foot traffic, play, or entertainment, but with sod this is 2 – 3 weeks instead of over a month.

Once summer heat has begun, seed germination rates are so low that seeding isn’t a good option. Sod can be installed anytime and offers the added benefit of reducing weeds in the grass. Since Clear Sky Yard Care & Landscaping uses only high-quality sod, there are very few to no weeds present in the sod itself. Once it is established and well cared for, the sod will outcompete most weeds that try to grow.

On sloped areas of your property, sod also gives the benefit of instant erosion control. It will prevent wind and rain from carrying your soil away.

One of the risks with sod is that when improperly installed the grass at the edge of the roll does not end up in contact with the ground, preventing the grass there from getting water and quickly dying. These dead patches are unsightly. Prevent this by having your sod professionally installed by Clear Sky Yard Care & Landscaping, we are able to install sod so that the seams between rolls are near invisible and all the grass is able to establish its roots.

Xeriscape (pronounced zeh-ri-skeip) and zeroscape are two different landscaping methods used to reduce the water needs of your landscaping. If you are a home owner or business looking to reduce your water consumption (and your water bill) but keep your outdoor space looking great, this is the solution for you.

Zeroscaping is covering your landscape in a non-organic covering (such as river rock) and leaving it without any plant life. Some variety can be achieved by using different sizes and textures of rock.

Xeriscaping is the creation of garden areas that need little to no additional watering once the plants are established. This is achieved using native and drought resistant plants, hardscaping (such as paths and patios), and non-organic ground cover (such as cobblestone and blast rock). When executed well, xeriscaping designs generally require less work to upkeep.

Since grass, and the weeds commonly grow in it, can aggravate seasonal allergies, xeriscaping will be appealing to those who suffer from seasonal allergies as it drastically reduces or eliminates the lawn area of your landscaping.

A poorly designed xeriscape garden runs the risk of being bland and boring. At Clear Sky, we take pride in creating dynamic landscapes using a variety of sizes and textures in both the hardscape and softscape (plants, etc.).
