How much does landscaping cost?

A quick look at GTA landscaping prices in 2026

Landscaping is one of those things where the price range is huge — and for good reason. A simple front-yard cleanup is a completely different project than a full backyard transformation with a natural stone patio, retaining walls, and a built-in fire pit. Most GTA homeowners spend between $5,000 and $50,000, with the sweet spot for a solid backyard makeover landing around $20,000 to $35,000.

Basic Refresh

$5,000 – $15,000 total

Typical lifespan: 5–10 years before refresh

Big visual impact for a modest budget

Fast turnaround — most projects done in 1–2 weeks

Great for getting a home ready for sale

Most Popular

Mid-Range Makeover

$15,000 – $35,000 total

Typical lifespan: 15–25 years

Enough budget for real hardscaping — proper patio, walkway, and a feature wall

Room for quality plantings that fill in within 1–2 seasons

Can address grading and drainage problems as part of the project

Premium Transformation

$35,000 – $75,000+ total

Typical lifespan: 20–30+ years

No compromises — natural stone, mature plantings, full outdoor living space

Custom features like outdoor kitchens, fire pits, pergolas, and water features

Professional irrigation, drainage, and lighting all included

What changes the price

The biggest factors that move your number

Property Size & Lot Shape

A deep, narrow Toronto lot is a different design challenge than a wide suburban lot in Markham. More square footage means more material, but awkward shapes can increase labour.

Hardscape vs. Softscape Ratio

Hardscaping (patios, walls, walkways) is typically $30–$80 per square foot installed. Softscaping (plants, soil, mulch) runs $8–$25 per square foot. A patio-heavy design costs more than a garden-heavy one.

Material Selection

Concrete pavers start around $12/sq ft while natural flagstone or porcelain can hit $40–$60/sq ft. Pressure-treated retaining walls cost half of what natural stone walls do.

Grade Changes & Retaining Walls

Sloped lots often need retaining walls. A basic 2-foot wall runs $40–$60 per linear foot, while a 4-foot engineered wall with drainage can hit $120–$200 per linear foot.

Drainage & Grading Work

If water flows toward your foundation, fixing grading is critical and adds $2,000–$6,000. French drains or catch basins add another $1,500–$4,000.

Mature Trees & Specimen Plants

A 2-inch caliper tree costs $300–$500 installed. A 4-inch caliper tree can run $1,200–$2,500 with delivery and planting. Mature trees give instant impact but at a premium.
