Demand and price peak in spring. Booking outside it is the cheapest saving available on this job.
What this trade needs
We hold no licence to check for this category, so insurance and WSIB clearance are what a homeowner compares. That says what we hold, not what the province requires: nobody here has checked whether Ontario licenses this work. References and a written scope do the work a licence check would otherwise have done.
Ask before you hire
Is grading away from the foundation included, and what slope will you achieve?
Who is responsible for locating utilities before you dig?
Does the price include disposal of excavated soil?
What happens to the plants if they die in the first season?
You asked for the trade Landscaping, and the words "boat lift installation". Of the 12 businesses listed, none match every one of those.
The cost band and the licence requirements above still apply. They are what you need to judge a quote from anywhere else: whether the price is in the range, and whether the person quoting is allowed to do the work at all.
Listings here are seed data for demonstration and are labelled as such on each profile. Cost bands are what GTA homeowners are typically quoted, not offers. Always confirm a licence number against the issuing registry yourself before work starts.
