Lawn Care & Maintenance in Toronto

Lawn care and maintenance covers the recurring work that keeps a yard healthy through the season: mowing, edging, trimming, fertilizing, weed control, aeration, dethatching, and fall cleanup. Some companies also handle overseeding, grub and insect treatment, and spring or fall leaf removal as add-ons to a standard mowing contract. We're tracking 60 businesses offering these services across Toronto, ranging from one-truck operations covering a single neighborhood to larger crews that service properties city-wide.

What to look for before you hire

Ask whether quotes are per-visit or seasonal, since seasonal packages usually work out cheaper if you need weekly service from May through October. Check what's included in a standard visit (mowing height, edging along driveways and beds, blowing off clippings) versus what costs extra (fertilizer applications, weed spraying, aeration). Confirm they carry liability insurance, since mowers and trimmers can throw debris into windows or parked cars. If your lawn has specific problems like grubs, crabgrass, or bare patches from salt damage, ask how they diagnose and treat those before agreeing to a blanket "lawn care" package.

How we score providers

Our rankings weigh review consistency, how long a company has operated in Toronto, responsiveness to quote requests, and whether they show up reliably on a set schedule rather than an inconsistent one. The full breakdown of that process is on our methodology page. For a ranked shortlist of the strongest performers in this category, see our best landscapers in Toronto guide.
