How does YardQuote rank landscaping companies?

Rankings can't be bought. YardQuote scores each company with a Bayesian-adjusted Google rating, which weighs review volume so a 5.0 on three reviews does not outrank a 4.8 on three hundred. We then add small verification boosts for an active website, a listed phone number and real project photos. Across the GTA, 70% of rated landscaping companies clear 4.8★, so ranking gaps are meaningful. Positions update as new review data lands. Read our full methodology.

Questions to ask your contractor

  • Can you show me WSIB clearance and $2M+ liability insurance?
  • What's the payment schedule — how much is the deposit?
  • Which parts are subcontracted, and who supervises on-site?
  • What does the itemized quote include for disposal and grading? Typical line items and costs
  • What plant warranty do you offer through the first winter?

Frequently asked questions

How much does landscaping cost in Toronto and the GTA?

According to Design Landscaping (Toronto), full backyard redesign, mid-range scope (Toronto) runs $6,000–$50,000 per project, and high-end design-build outdoor renovation (Toronto) runs $20,000–$300,000+ per project (Curbz Landscaping (Toronto)). Add 13% HST to any quote. YardQuote's landscaping cost guide lists every line item with its source.

How do I choose a good landscaping company in the GTA?

Compare at least three written, itemized quotes rather than defaulting to the cheapest. YardQuote ranks 650 landscaping companies at a median 4.77★ Google rating and a median of 28 reviews each, so start with the shortlist above, then confirm insurance and recent local references before you sign.

When is the best time to book landscaping in Toronto?

The GTA landscaping season runs Apr–Oct. Reputable companies book several weeks ahead in peak months, so request quotes early; shoulder-season bookings often win better pricing.

Do I need a permit, and is HST included in landscaping quotes?

Add 13% HST to any quote, since landscaping and hardscaping are taxable in Ontario and most posted prices exclude it. Permit needs depend on scope: routine work rarely needs one, but driveway widening, boulevard work and retaining walls over 1 metre require municipal approval a reputable contractor handles. See YardQuote's landscaping cost guide for the Ontario rules.

Can companies pay to rank higher on YardQuote?

No. Rankings come from a Bayesian-adjusted Google rating plus verification boosts for a website, phone and photos, never payment. Across the GTA, 70% of rated landscaping companies clear 4.8★, so small ranking gaps are meaningful. Full details are on our methodology page.
