Separate design, construction and maintenance
Some companies focus on design-build projects, while others specialize in weekly maintenance. Make sure the provider’s strengths match the job you are planning.
Ask what the quote includes
For construction projects, compare excavation, base preparation, drainage, materials, disposal, planting, lighting and restoration work—not just the headline price.
Discuss drainage before finishes
Grading and drainage can affect both the landscape and the home. Ask how water movement will be assessed before patios, retaining walls or planting beds are finalized.
Confirm the service area and project minimums
Many landscape companies work across Burlington and Oakville but may have project-size or travel requirements. Confirm your address and project type before scheduling a consultation.
