Pruning

Proper pruning and trimming of hedges and trees is essential to strong and healthy plants.  Pruning is a key method for maximizing your yard’s beauty and maintaining its ideal size.  Sitka Landscaping uses proper pruning techniques and the right tools. Poor pruning can cause permanent damage.  Incorrect pruning can destroy your fruit harvest or your spring or summer bloom show.

Tree pruning is best done in late winter during the tree’s dormant months. Summer Flowering shrubs are best pruned late winter and Spring Blooming shrubs are best pruned immediately after blooming periods. Fruit trees are best pruned in March, and grapes from January onwards.

Yard Staging and Curb Appeal

Yard staging is a unique service that Sitka Landscaping offers real estate professionals and homeowners in the market to sell. When it comes to selling a home, the first impression is everything. The outside of the home is the first thing potential buyers see.

A home buyer has to drive by the property and then cross over into the landscape in order to get inside the home. Landscape Staging can add value to the selling price of the home and increase the speed of the sale.

Our yard staging services range from basic clean-up, adding landscape upgrades, basic addition of garden elements, to design and landscaping.

Yard Staging includes:

  • Manicured Lawn,
  • Line Trimming,
  • Pruning
  • Weeding
  • Re-Defining Beds and Borders
  • Removal of Clutter
  • Cleaning up the Overall Appearance
  • Removal of all rubbish and recyclables

Yard Staging and Curb Appeal Pricing

In our experience the typical yards takes between two and four days to tidy up and the cost will vary from $500.00 to $1200.00.

Fence Restoration and New Fences

People who have a fence in disrepair usually assume that the entire fence needs to be replaced. This is rarely the case, unless you are actually looking to change the design of the fence.  If you do want to change the design of your fence, however, we can build you a new one.  If you’re looking for a more economical approach, we specialize in fence repair and restoration!

Fence repair involves resetting new fence posts, and renewing existing fence panels to keep a consistent “aged” look throughout the fence.  It also usually involves ensuring there are strong supporting posts at regular intervals. Often, not many of the posts need to be replaced to give your fence back its sturdiness.

When it comes to pricing with fence repair, our prices are based on the requirements of the job and the specific location of the fence posts that need to be replaced.

New Fence and Fence Repair Pricing

In our experience it should cost between $2000.00 and $3000.00 to replace 8 panels (66 feet in total), this includes all the materials and removal of the old fence components, transport and labor.

We’ll generally give you a choice between: cheaper stapled panels, stronger well-framed panels, and hand built cedar fences, which can actually be the cheapest alternative depending on the style.

To restore an old fence can cost between $100 and $800 for 8 panels of fence line.

We prefer to estimate rather than to give a fixed quote, and generally project costs are within 10% of the estimated cost.  If a fixed quote is required we can do this too, though the fixed quote will include a margin for unexpected costs.
