At WillowStone, our small plant care team offers expert level horticultural services for all of your garden maintenance needs.
Along with standard garden maintenance items like weeding, edging and deadheading, our maintenance programs contain a detailed schedule of species-specific shrub pruning requirements throughout the season. We begin by identifying the species on site along with their pruning requirements and then create a pruning plan for your Collingwood, Ontario property that is individualized to each specific plant’s needs.
Different shrub species have varying growth habits, flowering patterns, and responses to pruning. Therefore, adopting a species-specific approach is crucial to ensure optimal results and healthy plants. Pruning is completed with the use of hand tools – not motorized machinery. The use of hedge trimmers on shrubs is usually harmful to the plants and works against their natural form.
With our garden maintenance program, you will receive the benefit of plant health assessments and diagnostics that our company is known for. Our maintenance crew keeps a keen eye out for any changes or concerns in the health of all plants, from perennials to trees. They alert our consulting team of potential issues and bring samples back to our lab for analysis when necessary. If we feel an issue on site requires some in-depth analysis or remedial care, our plant health care team is ready to help with integrated pest management solutions.
Integrated pest management (IPM) stands as the cornerstone of any comprehensive garden maintenance program, embodying the ethos of sustainable horticulture. The multifaceted approach IPM offers manages pests and diseases while minimizing environmental impact.
"My entire experience . . . was exceptional.”
"My entire experience with WillowStone, from my initial call to the Operations Manager to completion of the project at my home, was exceptional. The level of knowledge, professionalism, patience, and attention to detail demonstrated by the entire WillowStone team is outstanding. I have a very large and aged hedge at my home that had an invasive vine, which was harming the cedars. The technicians were easily able to diagnose the problem and offered solutions. The work was completed on schedule, at a reasonable price, and within the quote that was provided to me. My yard was left spotless, and tidier than prior to the project being completed, I would highly recommend WillowStone for any of your landscape projects. Thank you, Mackenzie and team!”

FAQs About Garden Maintenance
Garden maintenance is an ongoing process that supports the health, appearance, and productivity of your outdoor spaces. A well-cared-for garden not only looks beautiful but also resists pests, withstands weather changes, and thrives from season to season. Professional garden maintenance covers a wide range of services, all aimed at creating an environment where plants can flourish and landscapes stay visually appealing. These FAQs explain the key aspects of garden maintenance and why consistent attention makes such a difference.

What are the core services in garden maintenance?
A comprehensive maintenance plan often includes weeding to eliminate competition for nutrients and water, pruning to promote healthy growth and shape plants, and fertilizing to provide essential nutrients. Mulching helps retain soil moisture, regulate temperature, and suppress weed growth, while seasonal cleanups clear away debris that can harbor pests or diseases. Pest and disease scouting is another critical element, allowing early intervention before problems spread. These tasks work together to keep your garden balanced and healthy.
Why is consistency important?
Gardens are living systems that constantly change. Without regular care, weeds can quickly take over, pests may damage plants, and nutrient deficiencies can lead to poor growth. Consistent maintenance ensures plants are monitored closely, allowing for adjustments in watering, feeding, or pruning as conditions change. This steady attention keeps plants vigorous, helps preserve your investment in landscaping, and maintains the garden’s visual appeal throughout the year.
Can maintenance be scheduled around my needs?
Yes. Garden maintenance schedules can be customized based on your property’s size, plant varieties, and seasonal requirements. Some gardens benefit from weekly visits to keep fast-growing plants in check, while others may need monthly or seasonal service to prepare for weather changes. This flexibility ensures you get the level of care your garden needs without unnecessary visits, providing the right balance of attention and efficiency.
