Do I need a landscape designer or a landscape architect in Markham?

For typical residential yards, a landscape designer at $75–$150/hour is enough. Hire an OALA-licensed landscape architect when the project involves engineered retaining walls, ravine or conservation review, or permit-heavy scopes — architect fees are higher but include regulated professional accountability.

Questions to ask your contractor

  • Is the design fee credited if we build with your firm?
  • Do we get 2D plans only, or 3D renderings — and at what cost? 2D vs 3D pricing
  • Who owns the drawings if we hire another contractor to build?
  • Have you handled ravine/TRCA or permit reviews in this city?
