Landscaping Services from TNT Property Maintenance

Landscaping is a broad term for a variety of work outdoors. As a full-service landscape company, we offer many different services besides weekly lawn and garden maintenance.

TNT can help you with all things 'outdoors'.

From tree removal and trimming, eavestrough cleaning, and even storm drain repairs in parking lots, we have you covered. We can fill a hole with asphalt (cold patch), plant a tree or shrub, install small pieces of armour stone in your garden, rake up and remove your fall leaves, or even hang your Christmas lights! Just contact Linda in the office and we can provide you with a free estimate.

There is no job that is too small or big for TNT.

TNT Property Maintenance has been satisfying the needs of our customers since 1993. We are a full time landscaping/maintenance company that offers a complete design/maintenance program for our clients.

Our services include:

TNT Property Maintenance offers a one-hour consultation with landscape designers Rob Tester and Colin Serrao for only $99.00 plus HST, including a sketch. If you choose TNT to complete the work, your paid consultation fee is deducted from your final billing.

Sometimes it is just a grading issue; other times, the installation of weeping tile or a 'French drain' is required. Water can be redirected away from foundations, downspouts can drain under walkways (less ice build up), and soaked areas can drain freely back into the ground, all with the help of our dedicated staff.

Here at TNT, we want to be your stormwater experts. Rob Tester has a strong desire to protect our environment and waterways, taking extra specialized courses in permeable pavements, rain gardens and Smart About Salt initiatives. Rob sits on the Expert Panel for Stormwater Management with RAIN/REEP. As such, we are kept current with new trends and have the firsthand knowledge to create landscape designs to help you get your stormwater tax rebates. We install rain gardens, drywells, cisterns and permeable pavements – all great ways to solve water problems on your property.

Have you heard of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act? By 2017, all companies must be in compliance with the Act. Rob is actively quoting accessible ramps for businesses. Ramps made out of interlocking pavements and installed with a heat system make your project not only Act compliant, but also environmentally friendly (avoiding costly and damaging salts in the winter) and provides the best warranties (some stones have 50+ years warranties).

A lawn comber is a vertical tine machine designed to remove dead thatch and level off small bumps in turf areas. Lawn rolling compresses the root system in turf areas, often destroying new root growth and creating the need to aerate. After lawn combing, seed can also be applied to thinning turf areas in order to produce a thicker lawn, thus inhibiting weed growth.

With a commitment to environmental stewardship, TNT has created a program was created with environmentally friendly products that are manufactured locally:

● Base Program: 4 fertilizer applications – early spring, early summer, late summer and fall.

● Premium Program: 4 fertilizer applications, with a combination of core aeration, Easy-Flo® compost, and

   overseeding in late spring.

Nutrite® fertilizers are a 100% natural, homogeneous product containing calcium. They are derived from blood meal, composted poultry manure, and natural sulphate of potash. Lawn requirements determine which fertilizer we use: spring (10-2-2), summer (7-2-3), fall (4-3-8) or weed seed inhibitor and fertilizer mix (8-0-4).

Aeration will help get oxygen and water to the root system. Core aerating will help break up compaction and bring microbial life to the surface. When the cores are brought to the surface they act as a form of topdressing, as well. Aerating also helps to thicken up the turf – by cutting the root rhizomes, new grass blades are grown. Overseeding is ideal after aerating.

Easy-Flo® compost is a pelletized compost made from leaves and yard waste. This product is easily applied through a spreader to increase the organic matter in your soil and stimulate microbial activity. Microorganisms help your soil function as they break down the thatch layer, taking away a home for surface insects to thrive and allowing your soil to breathe. Increasing the organic matter in your soil by 1% will increase your drought tolerance by 50%.

Custom programs are available; please contact the office today for a quote.

All fertilizers use a three-number rating system, like 15-15-15. The first number represents nitrogen, the second is phosphorous, and the third is potassium (or potash). These numbers are percentages of the total ingredients in the bag.

At TNT we try to be environmentally friendly. This year we are using a refillable tote bag that is approximately 4 cu. ft. with a maximum weight capacity of 240 pounds. The bag is very durable and can be washed. We will be using this bag for anyone wishing to pick up any of our aggregates we stock on site (mulch, topsoil, garden soil, clear crushed gravel, A-gravel, washed concrete sand and crushed granite).
