Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers to the questions we hear most often about our services, process, and what you can expect when working with us.
What Is...
What is the difference between hydroseeding and drill seeding?
Hydroseeding is a spray-on method ideal for large, sloped, or erosion-prone areas, while drill seeding places seed directly into the soil with machinery—great for uniform coverage on flatter terrain.
What is a blower truck and how does it help with landscaping?
Blower trucks quickly and evenly apply mulch, soil, compost, or fiber over large areas—perfect for playgrounds, gardens, and erosion control, all without the mess of manual labor.
What is erosion control and why does my site need it?
Erosion control includes a range of techniques to protect soil from runoff, wind, and water damage. It helps preserve landscapes, prevent flooding, and meet environmental regulations.
What is considered a commercial landscaping service?
Commercial landscaping includes services for properties like plazas, schools, municipalities, and industrial parks—ranging from lawn care to snow removal and full-scale hardscaping.
What is Terraseeding™ and where is it best used?
Terraseeding™ combines soil, seed, and compost in one blown-on application, promoting fast growth and healthy turf. It’s excellent for slopes, large areas, or projects needing erosion control.
What is included in your commercial snow & ice control packages?
Our packages include plowing, salting, de-icing, sidewalk clearing, and monitoring—tailored to your site’s needs with 24/7 response during storms.
How To...
How to book an appointment with Quality Turf?
Easy! Just visit our Book a Consultation page and fill in your information. We’ll confirm quickly and stay in touch.
How to prepare my property for seeding or sodding?
Ensure the area is clear of debris, sprinklers are functional, and pets or foot traffic are kept off the zone for at least a few days post-install.
How to know if my property needs land clearing before construction?
If your lot has dense brush, overgrowth, or uneven terrain, chances are you need land clearing. We’ll assess your site and offer tailored solutions.
How to rent equipment through Quality Rentals?
Simply visit our Quality Rentals website — it’ll take you to where you can browse available machines, request a quote, and schedule pickup or delivery.
How to maintain a playground surface or athletic field?
Routine raking, top-ups of safety surfacing, mowing, and seasonal aeration keep things clean, soft, and safe. We also offer full maintenance packages.
How to request a quote or site visit?
Head to our Contact page and fill in the service details. You can also call us directly to schedule a site walkthrough or get fast ballpark pricing.
Do I Need To...
Do I need to water newly seeded areas myself, or is it included?
Initial watering may be included, but ongoing care is up to you. We’ll leave watering instructions or offer a maintenance option to handle it for you.
Do I need permits for tree removal or land clearing?
Depending on your municipality, yes. We’ll help you navigate the permit process and advise on local bylaws.
Do I need to be home during my service appointment?
Not unless access is limited. We’ll coordinate ahead of time and let you know if we need entry to locked gates or specific instructions.
Do I need to prep my site before blower truck services arrive?
Just clear the work area of personal items or vehicles. We’ll take care of the rest with minimal disruption.
Do I need snow & ice control if I already have a maintenance team?
If your current team doesn’t offer 24/7 response or proactive salting before freeze events, you’ll benefit from our specialized commercial snow services.
Do I need to choose between mulch, compost, or topsoil—or will you recommend the best option?
We’ll assess your site needs and recommend the perfect material for your goals—whether that’s soil health, erosion control, or aesthetics.
