Greg Watters

Petra Landscaping Contractors crew did an amazing job transforming my front and back yard into what was once a lifeless space into a Vibrant, beautiful and welcoming outdoor living area. Joseph, the Project manager, captured my excitement and imagination with his marvelous ideas, his 20 years of expertise and his attention to detail. Their professionalism is of the utmost quality and I can truly say that I will trust them with any future landscaping or other outdoor improvements to my property. I have never been happier to look out my window. Thank you again to Joseph and his team. – Greg and Brooklyn

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 Petra Landscape Contractors 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?
