A backyard that's just a patch of dirt and old sod isn't going to fix itself, and picking a landscaper off a flyer left on your door is a gamble most homeowners regret. Toronto's garden design companies below have earned ratings between 4.6 and 5.0 on more than 900 Google reviews combined, with individual review counts from 31 to more than 350, so track record varies more than the stars alone let on.

Spruced Up Property Beautification Services, based in East Toronto, handles full garden design, planting, hardscaping, and turf installation, alongside a wide range of general home repair work. The company describes itself as taking on the kinds of projects that turn a neglected yard into a usable outdoor space, whether that's a kids' play area or a low-maintenance dog-friendly lawn.
What people praise
Our take: The strongest fit if your project is a full backyard redesign rather than routine maintenance. The rating and review depth here are both excellent.
Epstein Property Care, run by owner Jonathan out of downtown Toronto, offers landscape design and construction alongside lawn care and snow removal, positioning itself as a year-round property partner rather than a one-off landscaping job. The company takes on both small planting requests and larger backyard design work.
What people praise
Our take: A good pick if you want one company handling both the garden redesign and the ongoing maintenance afterward, not just a single project.
Cloverhill Gardening, Landscaping & Snow Removal has served the Greater Toronto Area since 1997, covering landscape builds, garden maintenance, seasonal planting, and snow removal for both residential and larger properties. It's one of the longer-running operations on this list.
What people praise
Worth knowing
Our take: A solid, long-established option for garden builds. The one significant complaint here is about a winter service add-on, not the core landscape design work most people are hiring for.
GTA Landscaping Toronto handles landscape design and construction alongside pool builds, deck construction, and paving, positioning itself for bigger backyard projects that combine multiple elements rather than garden beds alone. The company has built up a strong HomeStars profile alongside its Google reviews.
What people praise
Our take: The one to call if your project is bigger than garden beds alone, think pool, patio, and landscaping combined into a single build.
Greenbloom Landscaping, based on Geary Avenue, covers lawn care, tree services, and landscape design, with a particular focus on planting design work, flower beds, rock gardens, and softscape rather than hardscaping alone. Owner Ohad and designer Shir are both named repeatedly across reviews.
What people praise
Worth knowing
Our take: The best match if the priority is planting design and a real eye for layout, rather than a purely hardscape-focused build. Not the budget option, but reviewers consistently say it's worth it.
Decksforlife is a deck builder covering Toronto and the wider GTA from a North York base on Dufferin Street. The company builds backyard decks, second-floor and walkout decks, pool decks, multilevel decks for sloped yards and low-rise decks, and offers free 3D modelling so clients can see a design before work starts.
Estimates are free, and office hours run from early morning into the evening on weekdays.
What people praise
Our take: Decksforlife holds a perfect 5.0 across 31 Google reviews, and the reviews are unusually consistent on the two things that most often go wrong with build projects: schedule and cost. Multiple clients state the work came in on budget and on time, with one noting the crew arrived earlier than the agreed date. Reviewers name individual people at the company, and several mention getting competing quotes before choosing on a combination of price and workmanship. Tidiness during the build comes up more than once. Worth knowing when comparing this page: the specialism here is decks and structures rather than planting and garden design, so it suits a project centred on built outdoor space.

Pricing depends heavily on scope, a small flower bed redesign costs far less than a full backyard rebuild involving hardscaping, drainage, or a pool. Materials (natural stone versus poured concrete, for example) and site access also move the price significantly.
| Job | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Small garden bed design and planting | $500 - $2,000 |
| Front yard landscape redesign | $3,000 - $8,000 |
| Full backyard redesign (planting + hardscape) | $8,000 - $20,000+ |
| Backyard build with pool or major hardscape | $25,000 - $80,000+ |
Ranges compiled July 2026 from published project scopes on Action Home Services, GTA Landscaping, and Greenbloom Landscaping websites, and general Ontario landscaping industry pricing guides.
These companies cover the City of Toronto core along with North York, Richmond Hill, and the wider Greater Toronto Area, with most offering an on-site visit before quoting. If you’re searching for garden design near me, confirm the company actually services your specific municipality before booking a consultation, since GTA coverage varies by company.
Spring and early summer are the busiest booking periods, so companies with strong reviews often book out weeks in advance. Planning in late winter gives more flexibility on start dates.
Most on this list do, though some lean more toward planting and softscape design while others focus on larger builds like patios and pools. Check which matches your project before requesting a quote.
Spruced Up and Epstein Property Care are the safest calls for a full garden redesign given their ratings and review depth. If your project leans toward planting design specifically, Greenbloom is worth the extra cost reviewers mention. Get a written quote with a design plan before any work starts.
