Ian Rapin

Mike and his team did a fantastic job around our newly installed pool. The hardscaping work is incredible and the combo fence they installed is a perfect, glad I listened to Mike lol.

Joe Purdy

Our company recently switched to Lasting Impressions for snow maintenance, and it was one of the best decisions we’ve made. Mike and his team are always punctual and deliver exceptional service. Their attention to detail and commitment to customer care go above and beyond. The quality of their work speaks for itself! If we could give 10 stars, we absolutely would. Thank you!

Angela Fournier

We have worked with Lasting Impression Landscape Group over the years on a number of projects, personally and professionally. More recently, Lasting Impression completed an interlock patio bordered with armour stone at our office building. The finished product far exceeded our expectations! The team was professional, punctual and knowledgeable with suggestions for the patio. We have received many compliments. We would recommend Lasting Impression to transform your outdoor space, you will not be disappointed!

Jeff Easton

Mike and his team did a fantastic job at our house over the last 5 years. They helped us build and implement a five phase plan which including planting trees, bushes, greenery, firepit, pool area, retaining walls and interlocking stone. There was so much to this project that it had to be a professional that had a ton of knowledge and organization skills. Shawna and I highly recommend Mike and team for any of your landscaping needs. He’s also just a great guy and the team worked super hard.

The Miss Emily

Mike and his crew were great to work with, professional and very talented. They got the work done quickly and were always a pleasure to have on the property. My contractor was incredibly impressed, as he hadn't worked with them before (but says he hopes to work with them again). Other on-site workers from other companies were complimentary of Mike and his team and their work. My husband and I run businesses that keep us very busy and I didn't have the time or real interest in designing every detail of the patio/landscaping job needed. Mike dreamed up a great design and our backyard looks absolutely incredible! Fully recommend Lasting Impression Landscape!

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 Lasting Impression Landscape Group 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?
