Steps to Hire a Landscaper

Define Your Scope: Identify your landscaping needs (e.g., lawn care, garden design, grading, retaining walls). Cross-reference with service overview.
Get 3 Quotes: Request quotes from at least three licensed contractors. Compare services and pricing.
Verify Insurance: Confirm contractors have minimum $2M general liability insurance, especially for grading near septic systems or well heads.
Check for Pesticide Licence: Verify compliance with the Ontario Pesticides Act if chemical applications are involved.
Ask for Plant/Specs: Request detailed plant and material specifications for transparency.
Book Early: Schedule spring work by February/March in Renfrew County to secure availability.
