We know that you have a lot of ideas, and no one knows what would make your yard perfect better than you, but it can be hard to translate those ideas into a clear and concise plan. That’s where we come in. We can give you the help you need to turn your ideas and goals into a real plan. We love to sit down with our clients and discuss their vision for their outdoor space and how we can make that happen. After that, we can get right to work creating their dream landscape.

Your house is more than just a house; it’s your home, which means you’ve put your creative thoughts into designing the interior to reflect you and your family. We want to build on that creative thought. Our clients are always a part of the design process because the landscape should reflect you and your taste and style. We want to get to know our customers so their landscape suits them and their families aesthetically and functionally. That is the difference between a simple landscape design and PELOSO’s landscape design.

The difference that makes a simple landscape into an outstanding landscape is meticulous attention to detail, including within the planning stages. We want to ensure that our clients see every part of the design before construction begins so that the job runs smoothly.

Landscape design is an art that can drastically improve the overall appeal of your home. By calling PELOSO Landscaping, you’re taking the first step in planning to give your home a fresh look.

Residential Landscape Installation

At PELOSO Landscaping, we know that design is only the beginning, and a perfect plan is nothing without perfect implementation. Our landscapers complete all landscape installations on time and budget, including clean-up and finishing touches.

Customer satisfaction is our highest priority, so we always ensure the job is done to our highest standards.

We also understand that our clients are environmentally conscious; a beautiful and functional new yard cannot come at the cost of damage to Ottawa’s ecosystems. PELOSO has training and experience in environmentally sustainable practices and landscaping. This means that both the construction and the installation involve green products and procedures, and the designs we implement are not harmful to the environment. PELOSO Landscaping’s practice includes using native plants, addressing water, energy, and resource conservation concerns, and respecting wildlife habitats.

Customer Satisfaction Is Our Highest Priority

Lawn sod is the quick-fix solution for almost every lawn. While it’s not often necessary, it is a luxury for those clients who want to have that perfect lawn in just one day. If you want the perfect lawn right now, sodding is the answer. Sodding is also the most effective way to repair an existing lawn or plant a new one.

An investment in sod will last for years, even decades, to come with proper care. The installation, however, is extremely important to its success. The trained professionals at PELOSO Landscaping can help you choose the best sod for your property and install it quickly and easily.

Our installation includes a complete clearing and cleanup of the property before laying the sod. We always use the best topsoil mix to create an even surface and water the area for a moist base. After the sod is rolled out, we run rollers over it to remove air pockets and encourage strong root growth. We also take care of the first thorough watering, which usually takes thirty minutes to an hour, depending on the property size. Afterward, deep watering is required once a day for the first 3-4 weeks and once every other day for the next month. A detailed care plan for your property’s conditions and needs will be created at installation time. Mowing should always be avoided for one to two months after sodding to give the grass and roots enough time to take a firm hold.

PELOSO Landscaping has been providing the highest-grade lawn sod products for decades. Our lawn and garden solutions are regarded as some of the best in the community, and we offer top-quality lawn sod and sodding in Ottawa and the surrounding area.

Interlocking Paving Stone Work

PELOSO Landscaping specializes in interlock installation, and we guarantee our work will be covered by a two-year warranty. We use a variety of suppliers in the Ottawa area to give you a unique interlocking look, and we can connect you with an outdoor designer to help maximize the possibilities.

Whether you’re an individual homeowner, builder, or developer, PELOSO Landscaping provides tailor-made solutions and designs to fit every need. We own an extensive fleet of trucks and equipment, enabling us to be responsive to your needs and meet your project’s goals. From selecting your pavers’ styles and colors to the final installation, our experienced and dedicated staff works with you to provide innovative, aesthetically pleasing, and practical solutions to your paving challenges.

Which type of paver is better?

There is very little difference between pavers in general. The important difference is the maker of the pavers. Paving materials can vary from one manufacturer to the next. The qualities that make a paver perfect are its compressive strength, water absorption rate and abrasion index.

What Happens if I have to do a repair job below the paving? Does it leave an unsightly patch mark?

No, that is one of the long-term benefits to installing flexible paving. Because all interlocking paving is flexible, it can also resist cracking.

Can you do other types of specialty masonry?

Yes, our tradesmen are fully trained masonry professionals. We specialize in matching almost any material and seamlessly installing it so that repairs are undetectable in most cases.

What does “Interlocking Paving” mean?

Interlocking paving is a misleading term. What actually constitutes interlocking is really a dynamic function containing three different components. They are “rotational interlock” (resistance to tipping), “horizontal interlock” (resistance to spreading), “vertical interlock” (resistance to sinking). So, that means for lasting quality you need good containment, good sub base and proper paver thickness. Thicker pavers are generally better for driveways, thinner pavers are better for patios.

After you’re done paving the work surfaces, should I seal it?

Yes, it protects it from leaky cars that might leave oil stains, and it stays cleaner for much longer if you seal it right away before it has a chance to get stained. Remember when it’s sealed it only takes a hose to clean it off. We use breathable type sealers that protect against just about anything.

Whether you have a small grassy area near your pool, a condo project with small lawn areas for each unit, a large yard, or an extensive landscaping project, Artificial Grass—available from PELOSO Landscaping—may be your perfect solution!

What is Synthetic Grass made of?

Synthetic Grass is typically made of a blend of polypropylene and polyethylene that are molded to resemble natural blades of grass. An infill of rubber granules or silica are often employed to help the artificial turf stand upright.

Is Synthetic grass safe for my kids? Is it safe for my dog?

Synthetic grass is completely safe for children. The artificial blades tend to be softer than natural grass, the turf is hypoallergenic since it contains no pollen, and the infill used helps to maintain an antimicrobial surface that prevents the spread of bacteria. Artificial turf is equally safe for your pets. The synthetic grass doesn’t stain and drains quite easily, meaning your pets’ bathroom breaks won’t pool or ruin your lawn.

How long does it take to install?

Depending on the size of your property, installation typically lasts from one to three days.

How long does Synthetic Grass last?

The average life of a synthetic lawn is between 10 and 15 years.

How hard is it to maintain a synthetic lawn?

Easier than it is to maintain a natural lawn! The only maintenance required is that you occasionally wash down your lawn with a garden hose to remove debris.

Will Synthetic Grass reduce natural pests on my property?

Absolutely! Since the synthetic grass covers up their food sources, bugs and small animals like groundhogs and squirrels go elsewhere.

Does synthetic grass ever have to be weeded?

Weeds do not typically grow in synthetic grass. You may, however, find weeds growing around the edge of your artificial lawn. If this is the case, a simple weed killer can be used to mitigate the problem.

How environmentally friendly is synthetic grass?

Our synthetic grass is 100% safe for the environment. Synthetic grass helps communities preserve fresh water since lawns made of synthetic grass do not need regular watering to maintain their fresh green color.
