Frequently Asked Questions:
People contact us all the time to ask about our landscaping features, availability, pricing and more. Here we try to answer the most common questions that will hopefully assist you in making your decision.
How much does landscaping a backyard cost?
Unfortunately, knowing your outdoor living space costs before we know anything about your project is not possible.
Each project is unique, and factors such as location, the size of your backyard, access, scope of work, materials used (quality & quantity) and add-ons (lighting, gardens, specialty trades required, etc.) all factor-into determining the cost of your project.
If you are thinking about landscaping your backyard, please complete our quick landscape & construction consultation form for backyards and we will be able to get back to you with a fairly solid estimate.
Once we both agree to everything that will be involved in your project, we’ll guarantee our pricing in writing.
What if another landscaping company offers me more for less? Why would we work with Whitby Shores Landscaping instead?
While we completely understand that cost is a major determining factor, we also know that having your project completed professionally, accurately, on-time and within your budget also play an important role.
Our pricing is always competitive and we offer pricing guarantees in our contracts to ensure your job is properly completed.
My project will include multiple different elements (i.e., hot tub, pool, natural gas fire table and decking). Will I have to coordinate my project with specialty trades and who completes which job and when?
No. We will coordinate the entire project for you and you won’t have to worry about anything.
We will acquire any needed permits and oversee the entire job, including the hiring of any skilled subcontractors for specialty trades (gas fitting, carpentry work, plumbing, etc.).
Do you provide any warranties? Guarantees?
Absolutely.
We guarantee our workmanship on all hardscaping products for two years and we guarantee our pricing quotes as well.
You’re completely covered.
How are you able to guarantee your pricing?
Once a final Scope of Work is agreed upon, our price will not change.
We have been providing landscaping services for many years and know what things cost. Once we know the size of your backyard, what you want and which materials will be used, we’ll know exactly which costs are involved and will provide them to you, in writing.
Unless you change the Scope of Work, or there is an unforeseeable obstacle (i.e., giant rock underground), the price we have agreed to will remain the same.
I don't like surprises and would like to know what my backyard will look like beforehand.
We offer various design packages and you will be invited to meet with us at our office to discuss your ideas and develop a wish-list that coincides with your property.
We also offer 2D Concept Renderings (Black & White or Colour) and 3D Renderings. This can include a full immersive digital walkthrough of your proposed design.
Opting for a design package will mean that every inch of your project will be visualized and accounted for beforehand.
There won’t be any surprises.
I've heard that it's hard to get a swimming pool installed due to COVID-related manufacturing and delivery delays.
While it is true that COVID has had a significant impact on most manufacturing companies – including pool manufacturers – we do have solid relationships with our dealers and are working to ensure that any delays are minimized.
If you are thinking about having a pool installed, it’s probably best to get your request for a consultation in to us as early as possible.
What kind of deposit will you require?
Once we have agreed to your Scope of Work, we will ask for a 20% deposit.
Once the deposit has been received, you will be presented with a backyard landscaping contract to reserve your spot in our construction schedule.
For a Start-To-Finish understanding of what it’s like to work with us, please visit our Process page.
What kind of mess can we expect to deal with?
Once the job is complete, none at all.
We’re sticklers for details and the only thing we’ll leave behind is a beautiful backyard for you and your family to enjoy.
How long will it take you to finish our backyard?
Different jobs take different amounts of time to complete, so it’s a challenge to estimate completion times without knowing any details about your project.
That being said, we always aim to complete projects quickly – without sacrificing quality – and we want you to enjoy your space as quickly as possible.
Request your consultation and we’ll be able to tell you everything about your project in detail.
How do I know you'll do a good job? Why should I trust you?
That’s a great question.
For one, we don’t ask for major deposits up-front and we never overbook projects.
We have a physical office that you can visit and Victoria is always available to take your calls or to meet with you.
We’ve also had hundreds of satisfied clients and can provide you with real client references upon request.
To see the quality of our work overall, please check out some of our past Landscaping Projects.
Why do you ask for so much information in your quote form?
In order to provide you with an accurate quote, it’s helpful for us to know such things as what you want, the size of the area, where you live, etc.
Having this information up-front enables us to call you with accurate pricing quotes, design ideas, timelines and more.
I see that you are located in Whitby. Do you work in different areas?
While our office is physically located in Whitby, we work throughout Durham Region and beyond as well.
We Stand BeHind Our Work
Telling you what we can do is easy, but really being able to trust us – and believe in our ability – is as important to us as it is to you.
Be sure to review our start-to-finish client process, along with a few of our completed projects, and we’re sure you’ll agree we are the right fit for you and your home.
