Tyler and his team did a great job cleaning up my yard. The attention to detail was outstanding. They arrived very promptly, were very professional, and ended up doing a stand out job.

I cannot recommend Cardinal Landscaping enough! They did an absolutely fantastic job cleaning out my garden and fixing up my lawn. Tyler, the lead landscaper, was incredibly professional and efficient. He completed the job in a timely manner and his attention to detail was exceptional. My garden has never looked better thanks to Cardinal Landscaping. I will definitely be using their services again in the future. Five stars all the way!

Tyler did a great job keeping our lawn mowed while we were on vacation. Hired him for 2 cuttings only and he was happy to do it for us, at a good price too (considering it takes me almost 2 hours to do, big, hilly yard). He went beyond the simple lawn cutting paid for ny line trimming and cleaning up the edges of the lawn. Will not hesitate to call Tyler again if I need someone to mow for us.

Kevin Orbinski

Tyler did an excellent job with us. There was a lot of work and everything looks professionally done. We will have him back again, and recommend him to anyone who wants a capable, attentive, and thorough partner to work with.

Before you hire a landscaper in Ontario

No general licence, but specific activities are regulated: tree work near hydro lines, pesticide application, and retaining walls above a certain height.

General liability insurance and WSIB clearance

Particularly important for tree work and any job using excavators or skid steers near a structure.

ISA Certified Arborist, for tree work

A recognised certification indicating training in tree health and safe removal. Worth insisting on for any mature tree near a building.

Verify with: The International Society of Arboriculture maintains a public certification directory.

Check Cardinal Landscaping & Lawn Care on the official register

Ontario pesticide applicator licence

Required for anyone applying pesticides commercially. Ontario also restricts cosmetic pesticide use, so be sceptical of anyone offering broad chemical lawn treatment.

Permit and engineering for retaining walls

Most Ontario municipalities require a permit for retaining walls above roughly one metre, and engineered drawings above that. A failed retaining wall is expensive and can involve your neighbour.

Verify with: Your municipal building department.

Questions worth asking

  • Is there a design fee, and is it credited against the build if I go ahead?
  • How deep is the base under any hardscaping, and what material is it?
  • How will this change where water goes? Where does it drain to now, and after?
  • Is there a plant warranty, how long does it run, and what voids it?
  • Is disposal of excavated material and old sod included?
