I have used Simon’s Lawn Care for two years now, and am very impressed with their level of service. They are friendly, courteous and knowledgable, and have consistently provided me with excellent lawn services. I would highly recommend them !

Dan Walters

A great local company with professional staff. They provided a quick response and follow up quote very shortly after. Updates were constantly provided, and the work was completed so zero issues. The payment options also made for a seamless transaction. I will definitely be using them again. Thanks Simon’s Lawn Care!

Sara Knight

We have been using Simon’s Lawn Care on and off over the years and enjoy the spring-fall seasons significantly more when the team is taking care of things. Tyler’s team is detail oriented, respectful of the property, punctual and requests feedback on the service. The team uses high quality lawn care equipment for the best results and takes pride in their work. I would highly recommend Tyler and his team.

David LaPointe

Great service. Needed help getting a property ready to list for sale. Called Simons Lawn Care, top-notch service, did an amazing job, had great communication, super happy. Even the neighbour of the property commented how great of a job they did. Highly recommend. You won't be disappointed. Definitely use Simon Lawn Care again without hesitation.

Amberly McAteer

So glad I found these guys! When my dad fell ill, they were able to cut my parents’ lawn on short notice. Amazing price and great quality too. Will be using them for the property upkeep and maintenance going forward - nice guys too!

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 Simon’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?
