Seasonal maintenance package costs in NB?

Seasonal landscaping maintenance packages in New Brunswick typically range from $1,200-$4,000 annually for an average residential property, depending on the services included and property size. Most landscapers offer bundled packages that provide better value than individual service calls.

Standard seasonal packages usually include spring cleanup, weekly or bi-weekly mowing from May through October, fall cleanup, and leaf removal. Basic packages for smaller properties (under 5,000 sq ft) start around $1,200-$1,800 per season. Mid-range packages for average suburban lots run $2,000-$3,000 and often add fertilization, edge trimming, and basic pruning. Premium packages for larger properties with extensive gardens can reach $3,500-$4,500+ and include services like irrigation management, detailed garden care, and snow removal.

Spring cleanup (April-May) typically costs $200-$500 as a standalone service but is usually discounted in packages. This includes debris removal, initial lawn raking, pruning winter damage, and bed preparation. Summer maintenance forms the bulk of package costs, with weekly mowing running $35-$65 per visit for average properties. Most packages include 20-24 cuts per season, plus string trimming and basic weeding. Fall services ($250-$600 standalone) cover final mowing, comprehensive leaf removal, garden bed cleanup, and winterization tasks.

Additional services often available in premium packages include a 4-step fertilization program ($250-$500 value), core aeration ($150-$300), overseeding ($200-$400), and basic pest management. Some landscapers offer snow removal add-ons for an additional $600-$1,500 seasonally, though this varies significantly based on driveway size and snowfall amounts.

Package benefits include priority scheduling, discounted rates (typically 15-25% off individual service pricing), and consistent care from the same crew who learns your property's specific needs. Many landscapers require seasonal contracts signed by April 1st to secure preferred pricing and guarantee service availability during peak season.

Geographic variations exist across New Brunswick - Moncton and Saint John markets tend toward the higher end of pricing ranges due to higher demand, while rural areas often see more competitive rates. Properties in Fredericton fall somewhere in the middle, with good availability of both budget and premium service providers.

When evaluating packages, ensure they specify exactly what's included, particularly regarding cleanup scope, mowing frequency adjustments for growth rates, and weather-related service modifications. The best packages adapt to New Brunswick's variable growing season - more frequent cuts during June-July growth spurts, less frequent service during dry August periods.
