3. AHS Pool & Landscaping Toronto
5 (31 reviews)score 85/100
This AHS location earns its score through striking pool builds and full backyard redesigns that reviewers say changed how their families actually use the yard. Projects stay on schedule and on budget, with a team that reviewers describe as attentive from design through completion.

- On-time and on-budget delivery

4. Vertical Landscape Architects
4.8 (26 reviews)score 79/100
Jason's team builds its reputation on a collaborative design process, holding the line through construction with organized, clean job sites. Reviewers single out the quality of the finished stonework, plantings, and water features, and the crew has taken on complex builds even through winter.
- Collaborative design process that listens closely
- Organized, clean job sites
- Handles complex projects through winter
- Long-term plant and landscape advice after install
Watch out: A few reviewers mentioned slow follow-up on requests, and the team isn't the most flexible on competitive bidding.
Services: eco friendly organic, lawn care maintenance, irrigation lighting, tree services
5. Greenova Exteriors
5 (8 reviews)score 78/100
All eight reviews of Greenova Exteriors are five stars, with Mateas and his crew praised for knocking out trenches, stairs, and concrete steps in a single day. Snow removal clients specifically call out careful clearing with photo confirmation through heavy winters. The review count is still small, so this is a strong early record rather than a long one.
- Punctual on-site arrival
- Same-day completion on multi-task jobs
Services: snow removal, landscape design installation
6. David McEldon Landscape & Design
5 (16 reviews)score 77/100
David McEldon's 16 reviews are unanimously five stars, with clients pointing to his responsiveness and design vision on patios, pergolas, fencing, and planting. Crews arrive on time and manage cleanup well, though the review base is still on the smaller side for a top-tier confidence rating.
- Owner-led design and execution
- Full-service hardscaping and planting
- On-time delivery with crew discipline
- Solves site challenges without budget creep, reviewers say
Services: lawn care maintenance, licensed insured, hardscaping interlocking, landscape design installation
7. Gazeebro
4.8 (48 reviews)score 77/100
Gazeebro's crew gets real praise for speed and polish when projects run on schedule, and Rob is hands-on with a 5-year workmanship warranty behind the work. But the record also includes one serious case of a project that dragged from June to September and beyond, with incomplete work and a deposit that wasn't returned, so results here have been uneven.
- Punctual, efficient installation when scheduled
- Responsive communication early in the process
- Knowledgeable, courteous crew on site
- 5-year workmanship warranty
Watch out: One reviewer described a year-long delay, unfinished work, and a forfeited deposit, so get firm dates and payment terms in writing.
Services: landscape design installation
8. Mr.Sod - The Sod Installation Specialist
4.8 (21 reviews)score 77/100
Mr.Sod's reviewers describe consistent professionalism across sod laying, interlocking, and larger backyard jobs, with crew leads Arman and Tony named repeatedly for handling communication personally. Large crews get multi-day backyard overhauls done in four days or less, with cleanup part of the routine.
- Crew leads Arman and Tony handle communication directly
- Large crews finish multi-day jobs quickly
- Competitive, good-value pricing
- Cleans up after every job
Services: lawn care maintenance, hardscaping interlocking, landscape design installation
9. The Kingsway Group
3.9 (7 reviews)score 73/100
The Kingsway Group brings over 20 years in operation and reviewers consistently mention professional, detail-oriented crews on both residential and commercial jobs, from foundation work to full backyard transformations. The star average sits lower than others here and the review count is small, so weigh it alongside the more heavily reviewed names on this list.
- 20+ years in operation
- Paver pricing starting from $12.99 per square foot installed
Watch out: The 3.9-star average trails the rest of this list, though with only seven reviews it's a thin sample either way.
Services: lawn care maintenance, landscape design installation
10. Tranquility Garden Design
4.5 (15 reviews)score 69/100
Rebecca's team is known for deep knowledge of native plants and pollinator-friendly design, turning neglected yards into thriving gardens, including specialty styles like Asian-inspired planting. Many clients stay on for seasonal maintenance, building relationships that run for years.
- Native plant and pollinator garden expertise
- Thoughtful design process and plant selection
- Long-term seasonal maintenance relationships
- Experience with specialty garden styles
Watch out: One earlier review flagged rudeness and poor communication, an outlier against an otherwise strong record.
Services: lawn care maintenance, tree services, landscape design installation
11. East End Garden Centre
3.9 (212 reviews)score 69/100
East End Garden Centre has the deepest review base on this list by far, and long-time customers keep coming back for the plant knowledge, fair prices, and native species selection from Master Gardener staff after 30-plus years in business. That volume also surfaces real friction: several reviewers describe rude interactions with the owner and a few got plants with pest problems.
- Knowledgeable Master Gardener staff
- Competitive pricing on most items
- Strong native and specialty plant selection
- 30-plus years operating locally
Watch out: Multiple reviewers reported terse interactions with the owner and occasional plant quality issues, so inspect stock before buying.
Services: lawn care maintenance, tree services, landscape design installation
12. Beyond Landscaping
4.6 (9 reviews)score 67/100
Beyond Landscaping's reviews are all five stars, with Sandy and Heather singled out for listening closely and adapting designs mid-project while keeping jobs on time and on budget. One client had coping damage fixed at no charge a decade after the original install, then hired the same team again for a deck based on that loyalty alone. The review count is small, so this reads as a strong but limited sample.
- Owner personally manages projects
- Free repairs offered on past work years later
Services: lawn care maintenance, licensed insured, landscape design installation
13. AHS | Toronto Landscaping Company
5 (2 reviews)score 56/100
Both reviews of Steve's crew at AHS Toronto Landscaping Company praise on-time delivery and staying within budget, even while working through difficult weather. With only two reviews on record, treat this as an early signal rather than a proven track record.
- Budget-conscious hardscaping work
- Completes jobs on schedule
Watch out: Only two reviews are on record so far, so there isn't much history to judge consistency against.
Services: lawn care maintenance, snow removal, hardscaping interlocking, landscape design installation
14. Earth Inc. Designed Landscapes
4.5 (4 reviews)score 54/100
Recent reviews of Earth Inc. praise a responsive, professional crew that listens closely to design intent. An older review tells a different story, describing retaining walls that leaned again within a few years and an adjoining patio that sank, with the reviewer unable to reach the team for follow-up repairs.
- Responsive and professional team
- Listens closely to client vision
Watch out: An older review described retaining wall failure and difficulty reaching the team for repairs, worth asking about warranty terms upfront.
Services: lawn care maintenance, landscape design installation
15. DSMS Plants
score 30/100
DSMS Plants lists design consultation alongside sourcing and installation for indoor plant projects, but there are no customer reviews yet to confirm how that work holds up in practice.
- Indoor plant sourcing and installation
- Design consultation offered alongside installation
- Ongoing maintenance and care services
Watch out: No customer reviews are on record yet, so there's no track record to verify quality or reliability.
