Let’s be honest, we’ve all had those moments of sheer garden envy. You know, the ones where you’re scrolling through Instagram and stumble upon a backyard oasis that makes your own patch of grass look like a dandelion wasteland.  

But worry not, fellow green thumbs—or those aspiring to be! We’ve got the lowdown on Montreal’s top landscaping wizards who can transform your outdoor space from “meh” to “magnifique!”

How We Chose

1. Laniel Prodamex

Location: 15725 Pierrefonds Blvd., Pierrefonds

Contact: +1 514-626-3023

Operating hours:

Website

Laniel Prodamex has been around since 1959. So, when it comes to experience, they’ve got it in spades. 

Notably, they have over 100,000 projects completed and partnerships with more than 350 contractors every year. 

What really stood out to us, though, was their mobile showroom. You get to choose your materials right at home, in the actual space where they’ll be used! 

There’s no more guessing how that stone will look in your backyard. 

We love how they offer such a wide range of products, too. From sleek, modern options like the 3D Graphix wall to more rustic picks like the Brandon wall, they’ve got something for every taste. 

And if you’re all about keeping things pristine, they’ve got specialised maintenance products like eco-friendly cleaners. 

Now, while their services are top-notch, their pricing leans a little on the premium side.

2. BJR Landscaping

Location: 46 Milton Ave, Lachine

Contact: +1 514-961-2461

Operating hours:

• Monday to Friday – 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM

Website

Around since 2000, BJR Landscaping has truly established itself as a standout in the industry. They go beyond just making your outdoor spaces beautiful; they make sure everything is tailored to your specific needs and budget. 

We loved how they offer everything from rock gardens to custom patios. No matter what you’re dreaming of, they can bring your vision to life in a way that’s functional too.

Something we found really impressive is their comprehensive approach. BJR handles it all – from design and installation to asphalt paving and deck construction. 

We’ve also got to hand it to them for their attention to detail, especially when it comes to features like outdoor lighting, which adds both safety and ambience. 

Plus, their irrigation systems are perfect for anyone wanting a lush lawn without the hassle.

Now, a few clients did mention the $150 charge for quotations, which we feel is also a bit steep.

Surpasses expectations with professionalism from start to finish

“Absolutely thrilled with the exceptional service provided by BJR. From start to finish, their professionalism, attention to detail, and creativity surpassed our expectations. They transformed our outdoor space into a breathtaking oasis. The team’s dedication and expertise were evident in every aspect of the project, resulting in a final product that truly exceeded our vision. Communication was seamless throughout, ensuring our needs and preferences were met at every step. Without hesitation, we highly recommend BJR for anyone seeking top-notch landscaping.”

Attends to every detail with daily check-ins from Ryan

“Ryan and his team were amazing from start to finish. French drains, foundation repair, a new driveway and a beautiful path were done this past summer and we are really pleased with the results. Ryan was very attentive to every detail and checked in daily. His team were professional, meticulous and very polite. Can’t say enough good things about BJR. Highly recommend!”

3. Le Paysagiste

Contact: +1 514-795-0024

Operating hours:

• Monday to Friday – 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM

Website

Le Paysagiste has been transforming outdoor spaces for nearly three decades, starting their journey back in 1995. 

Whether it’s creating sleek modern patios or urban pools, they’ve been a reliable choice for both residential and commercial clients. 

What’s great is how they manage every aspect of the project so you don’t have to lift a finger.  This includes planning, designing, and even securing permits. 

We noticed their commitment to sustainability by using repurposed materials like paving stones and interlocking blocks. This step guarantees your project isn’t just beautiful but eco-friendly too. 

Their expertise spans everything from intricate garden designs to natural stone masonry and even foundation repairs for more intensive projects.

They’re also one of the few who keep things moving all year round, including during those icy winter months. However, there have been a few mentions of projects taking longer than expected. 

Responds quickly to resolve any questions in person

“We updated our backyard landscaping last year and had a great experience with Le Paysagiste! Etienne gave us the option to reuse our existing patio stones, which was important to us to reduce unnecessary waste, and gave helpful advice on additional stones to complement the existing look. Any time questions came up, Etienne was quick to arrive in person to sort out the details, and the employees were easy to deal with as well. I would definitely recommend them!”

Scott Redmond, Google Review

Relieves clients of stress with Étienne’s concern and professionalism

“Great concern for detail, impressive staff and equipment: this is a well-oiled machine that aims to make sure the work is high quality, done professionally, and entirely to your liking. Theirs are high standards, which is not something you see all that often. What we actually appreciated the most is how Étienne’s concern and professionalism relieved us of much of the mental load. Usually, when large machinery is tearing up your yard, you tend to feel a certain stress, but with Étienne and his great crew (Emmanuelle, Benoit, Mélodie, and the rest) I never felt anxious. We felt confident and in good hands during the entire experience. We are very happy, and we recommend them wholeheartedly.”

4. Services Prime

Location: 2815 Rue Sabourin, Saint-Laurent

Contact: +1 514-421-2020

Operating hours:

• Monday to Friday – 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM

Website

With over 40 years of experience under their belt, Services Prime truly knows how to deliver high-quality, stress-free landscaping. 

What we love about them is their ability to take the reins on everything. This includes managing every detail from the design phase all the way through to execution, permits included. 

It makes any project feel like a breeze, from intricate stonework or a full outdoor kitchen. 

Their versatility really shines, whether you’re looking for residential or commercial work. And it’s not just about the basics – they also handle paver restoration, green roofing, and even concrete overlays. 

Plus, their team stays sharp by constantly attending workshops to keep up with the latest trends and products.

However, we’ve heard some clients mention challenges with communication, such as waiting months for email replies. 

Utilises design software to help visualise the final product

“We did a major redo of our backyard and had an excellent experience with Service Prime. We were referred to them by one of our neighbours who had previously used them. During the planning/design stage Ioanna used a software that showed us what the final product would look like which was helpful to visualise her great design incorporating everything we asked for. The team that worked on the project was very professional and always cleaned up at the end of the day. Paul and Eric were always available to answer any concerns or last minute requests.   As you can see from my pictures, they did a beautiful job. We’re planning to use them again for the front of the house.”

Mary Thanos, Google Review

Provides excellent after-sale service

“I used Services Prime for our whole back yard project. From design to installation they installed the pool, lighting, unistone for deck and gallery, fencing, retaining wall, grass and unistone flower beds. They are a professional company with a polite and friendly staff. Their work was timely and the quality was great. I was very pleased with the end result. More importantly, great after sale service.”

5. Lave uni Montreal

Contact: +1 514-574-0169

Operating hours:

• Monday to Friday – 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM
• Saturday to Sunday – 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM

Website

Lave Uni Montreal brings a solid mix of exterior cleaning and landscaping expertise to the table. 

What really caught our attention was their paving stone work. Whether it’s a fresh installation or adjusting the slope, they make sure everything looks seamless. 

They also handle foundation drainage, eco-friendly paving, and EPDM work. So, if you’re looking for a wide range of services being offered, they’re worth considering. 

Plus, their exterior washing service keeps everything looking sharp once the job’s done.

We love how they incorporate advanced tech like high-pressure cleaning equipment while keeping it eco-friendly. Their commitment to sustainability shows up not just in their materials, but in their overall methods. 

The only downside? Their availability can be tight due to high demand. But honestly, that’s not surprising given their attention to detail and environmental focus.

Offers quick responsiveness with same-day quoting

“We worked with Mike and his team to refinish and sod our backyard and fill up our unsightly rock slope with drainage stones. Mike was extremely responsive and was able to stop by my house on the same day to provide a quote. The pricing was very reasonable, and his team arrived early on the day of to do the work. Mike and his team were super efficient, polite, and hardworking. They were able to finish everything in one day, and my backyard looked absolutely amazing when they were done. They also cleaned up completely after, so there was zero work to be done by us (which was greatly appreciated!). I would highly recommend Mike and his team if you’re looking to complete any landscaping work.”

Leaves clients 100% satisfied with the overall experience
