How Spitz's Works: From First Call to Finished Project
A straightforward look at how Spitz's operates — so you know exactly what you're getting into before you call.
Hiring a landscape contractor is a bigger decision than it looks. Whether you're planning an interlock driveway in Caledon, a full backyard renovation in Kleinburg, or a grounds maintenance contract for a commercial property in Vaughan — you're trusting someone with your property. It's worth knowing how they operate before you commit.
Here's exactly how Spitz's works. No surprises.
Who Spitz's Is
Spitz's Landscape Contractors is a family-run company. Father and son Bruno and Domenic Spizzirri built the business from the ground up — starting with basic equipment and growing into a full-service operation with dedicated crews, modern machinery, and over a decade of projects across Bolton, Caledon, Orangeville, Vaughan, Kleinburg, King City, Nobleton, Tottenham, and beyond.
The company runs two distinct divisions:
Property Maintenance — commercial, industrial, and residential grounds care, seasonal cleanups, and snow and ice management
Landscape Construction — pools, interlock, retaining walls, patios, full backyard builds, grading, and large-scale property transformations
Both divisions operate year-round with dedicated crews. One team handles maintenance. One handles construction. They don't cross over — which means consistent service and no shortcuts.
What Does the Schedule Look Like?
Spitz's operates on a seasonal calendar. Knowing how it works helps you plan ahead, get the attention your project deserves, and avoid the last-minute scramble.
Spring and Summer — Peak Season for Both Divisions
April through June is the busiest period across the board. Construction crews are committed to active builds. Maintenance crews are fully deployed on existing contracts. New slots for both fill fast. Homeowners and property managers who lock things in early get first pick of scheduling and a smoother start to the season.
Fall — The Smart Time to Plan Ahead
September through November is when the next season gets decided. Maintenance clients renew contracts, new maintenance agreements get signed, and construction clients lock in spring project starts. A fall site visit means everything is planned, priced, and ready before the new year.
Winter — Snow Season and the Best Time to Get a Quote
Winter is active for snow and ice management clients. Spitz's maintenance crews are on the ground keeping commercial and residential properties clear all season. On the construction side, winter is one of the best times to reach out — less competition for scheduling attention, more time to plan properly, and you're already in the queue when spring opens.
The Honest Answer on Timing
Every season has its pockets: a gap between projects, a quiet stretch, an opening that wasn't there last week. The clients who get first pick of timing and crew attention are almost always the ones who started the conversation early. But the door is open year-round.
- Snow removal contracts — summer or early fall, before the season starts
- Spring cleanup and lawn maintenance — late winter gets the best availability
- Interlock, driveways and hardscaping — fall for the following spring
- Full backyard and pool projects — fall or winter to allow proper design and scheduling
- Commercial maintenance contracts — any time; late summer is ideal for winter contracts
How Do You Get Started With Spitz's?
The most direct way is through the contact form on the website. It gives Spitz's a head start on your project and helps prepare the right questions before anyone's time is spent on a call.
When you reach out, it helps to have a few things ready:
Your address or general area — Spitz's services a wide region, but coverage isn't unlimited
A rough idea of what you're looking for: maintenance contract, single project, or both
Photos for the follow-up if it's a construction project — even rough phone photos help
From there, Spitz's will follow up based on your preferred contact method. You don't need a detailed brief to get things going. A conversation is usually enough to figure out whether it makes sense to move forward with a formal quote.
Does Spitz's Come to the Property Before Quoting?
Construction Projects — Always
For construction projects of any meaningful scope — interlock, pool installation, retaining walls, full backyard builds — an on-site visit is a standard part of the quoting process. There's no way to quote accurately without seeing the property.
A site visit covers:
Dimensions, grade, and existing conditions
Access constraints that affect how work gets done
Material options in the context of your actual space
Drainage or structural factors that affect the scope
Maintenance and Snow Removal — When It Matters
For recurring services — commercial grounds maintenance, lawn care programs, snow removal — a site visit isn't always required. But for new commercial clients, Spitz's will often visit the property before quoting. This allows the team to assess current site conditions, identify areas that need attention, understand why a client is looking to switch contractors, and build a property-specific service plan from day one. Our team has an eye for things that sometimes we only see during a site visit. You, or a previous contractor may have missed.
That process — starting with a clear picture of the property and what the client actually needs — is a large part of why Spitz's maintenance clients renew at a high rate year over year.
What Happens During the Project?
Construction
You'll know the project phases before work starts. If something changes — a weather delay, a material lead time, an unexpected site condition — you hear about it directly and not after the fact. No chasing, no guessing, no surprises at the end.
Maintenance
The job is showing up. Every time, on schedule, without you having to follow up. The biggest frustration with grounds care isn't the quality of the work — it's the inconsistency. The contractor who's great in May and gone by August. The crew that skips a week without a word.
Spitz's maintenance clients come back season after season not because they're locked in, but because the work is done right and the relationship is easy. No chasing. No reminders. No wondering if they'll show up. That's the standard.
What Happens at the End?
Construction
Projects close with a walkthrough. Anything that doesn't meet the agreed standard gets addressed before the job is called complete. You've invested in something significant — it should look and function exactly the way it was planned. That's not a policy. It's just how the work gets done.
Maintenance
Year-round clients — particularly commercial property managers — move seamlessly from summer grounds care into winter snow and ice management without any gap in service. Seasonal clients are followed up with ahead of the next season so there's no scramble to get back on the schedule. Either way, you won't need to chase anyone down to figure out what's next.
All Projects
Once the work is done, the quote, estimate, and contract process is straightforward. No confusing paperwork, no back-and-forth. The goal is to make the business side as easy as the project itself.
