Keats Lawn is amazing. They are reliable, efficient and take good care to do an excellent job cutting my grass each week. I have used them for the last 3 years and would recommend them to anyone.

Jennifer Silcox

Keate's Lawn Care and landscaping has been a reliable company that we have come to depend on for our large wraparound garden and lawn. Keaton takes the time to listen to our needs and we have always been happy with his (and his staff's) work! We receive compliments from guests and neighbours and are always quick to tell them that it is all Keate's doing!

Keats Lawn Care completely revamped our garden so we can plan and plant what we wanted vs what was existing in the home prior to our arrival in the spring. They cleared and cut down overgrown plants/shrubs in the front/side and backyard and installed mulch which really provided a nice clean look and provided great curb appeal. Also they were fast! This job would of taken us weeks but it took Keaton and Lisa and few days! I will definitely use their services again.

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 KEAT'S 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?
