Every project starts with a visit: we look at sun exposure, slope, drainage and soil before proposing anything. You then receive a plan and an itemized estimate.
We choose plants suited to the Montreal-area hardiness zone and Quebec winters, to reduce losses after the first frost and the upkeep in later years.
What's included
- Landscape plan and plant selection
- Garden beds, perennials, shrubs and ground covers

Designed for Quebec's climate
Freeze-thaw cycles, de-icing salt and dry summers quickly separate the plants that last from those that don't. We favour hardy species, good soil amendment and enough mulch. Fall is also an excellent time to plant trees and shrubs: roots settle in before the next summer.
Frequently asked questions
Do you provide a plan before the work starts?
Yes. After the free visit you receive a clear plan and an itemized estimate before you decide anything.
When should trees and shrubs be planted?
From spring to early fall depending on the plants. Fall favours root establishment. We advise you during the visit.
Do you also maintain the yard after planting?
Yes, we offer seasonal maintenance and watering of new plantings to help them establish.
