What's the best time of year for landscape design in Markham?
- The landscape design season in the GTA runs Year-round. Reputable landscape designers in Markham often book 3–6 weeks ahead in peak months, so request quotes early; booking in the shoulder season can also improve pricing.
How does YardQuote rank landscape designers in Markham?
- No — rankings can't be bought. We rank the 9 companies on this page with a Bayesian-adjusted Google rating (review volume matters, not just stars) plus verification boosts for an active website, listed phone and photos. 75% of rated landscape designers here clear 4.8★, so small ranking differences are meaningful.
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?
