4.9 (489 reviews)score 89/100
With 489 reviews, The Sprinkler Company has the largest track record on this list, covering full installs, seasonal start-ups and winterizations, drip systems, lighting, and French drains.

4. Artech Landscaping Ltd
5 (96 reviews)score 91/100
Artech's 96 reviews are entirely 5-star, with Oleg and Andrei's crews known for finishing heated driveways, interlock patios, and retaining walls on time and on budget. They also follow up on maintenance for irrigation systems they've installed, which matters for customers who want one team accountable for the whole yard.
- Perfect rating across nearly 100 reviews

Groundhog has posted five straight years of near-perfect reviews from a family-run operation where Kyle, office staff, and techs like Austin and Angelo stay in close touch with customers. They're known for taking on jobs other contractors turn down, from playground snow clearing to urgent irrigation fixes.
- Handles niche or difficult jobs others decline
- Owner actively involved in quality control
- Proactive arrival and completion notifications
- Many customers with 3+ years of service history
Watch out: A few reviewers mention pricing runs on the higher side.

- Dedicated account managers for follow-up
Services: irrigation lighting, lawn care maintenance, landscape design installation, snow removal
8. The General Contracting Services Inc.
5 (32 reviews)score 86/100
This is a smaller sample at 32 reviews but a strong one, with Brandon and Frankie named repeatedly for careful planning and delivering exactly what was promised on interlock, retaining walls, and sprinkler installs. Landscape Ontario membership and Unilock authorization add some credibility beyond the review count.
- Landscape Ontario member and Authorized Unilock contractor
- Named crew leaders praised across multiple project types
- Handles design through seasonal maintenance in-house
- Carries 5-million liability insurance plus WSIB coverage
Watch out: Review volume is lower than the top names on this list, so the track record is thinner.
Services: irrigation lighting, landscape design installation, snow removal, hardscaping interlocking
9. David's Landscape construction
5 (19 reviews)score 80/100
David's Landscape construction has a perfect rating but only 19 reviews, so treat it as a promising smaller-volume pick rather than a proven-at-scale one. What stands out is David himself staying available for material advice years after a patio, driveway, or pergola project wraps up.
- On-time completion with transparent pricing
- Thoughtful problem-solving when site obstacles come up
- Quality materials and craftsmanship noted by reviewers
- Post-project advice and aftercare
Watch out: Based on a small review count (19), so the pattern is promising but not as tested as the top-ranked names.
Services: irrigation lighting, landscape design installation, hardscaping interlocking
10. Elm Landscaping
4.6 (19 reviews)score 78/100
Elm has been operating for over 30 years and reviewers point to Kim's quick scheduling replies and crews that show up equipped and on budget through heavy winters. The 19-review sample and slightly lower 4.6 rating put it a notch below the top of this list, but the multi-season track record is real.
- Decades of operating history
- Responsive scheduling contact
- Crews arrive equipped and on time
- Practical design input within budget
Watch out: One older complaint raises questions about tree removal practices, and the review count is on the smaller side.
Services: eco friendly organic, irrigation lighting, licensed insured, lawn care maintenance
11. Fallingbrook Landscaping Inc.
4.8 (21 reviews)score 78/100
Fallingbrook's 19 five-star reviews describe a crew (John, George, Antony) that asks what homeowners want and delivers on hardscaping, planting, and quick fixes within estimate. One negative experience involving cancelled appointments stands out against an otherwise consistent pattern.
- Crew collaborates directly with homeowners on design
- Stays within estimates and communicates during the job
- Efficient cleanup after project completion
- Named team members build repeat familiarity
Watch out: At least one reviewer reported cancelled appointments and unfinished work.
Services: eco friendly organic, licensed insured, lawn care maintenance, landscape design installation
12. The C.R.E.W. Landscaping & Property Management (Scarborough)
4.8 (60 reviews)score 78/100
The C.R.E.W. gets consistent praise for fast responses and snow removal that beats the city plows, with owner Francis staying hands-on with communication. That reliability doesn't extend evenly to bigger jobs: one large backyard project ran months past its promised date with sod and turf work that needed redoing.
- Fast response and same-day scheduling for many jobs
- Snow removal arrives ahead of city plows
- Tree pruning and removal work gets neighbor approval
- Long-term customers report 3+ years without issues
Watch out: A major landscape project went over $7,500 with a two-month delay and turf installed improperly, with no remediation offered.
Services: eco friendly organic, tree services, licensed insured, lawn care maintenance
13. Eden Landscaping and Snow Removal
1.9 (21 reviews)score 41/100
Eden operates as a booking app connecting customers to independent contractors rather than running its own crew, and the 1.9 rating from 21 reviews reflects that gap. It's included here because it does list irrigation and outdoor work, but the pattern of no-shows and billing errors puts it well behind everything else on this list.
- Simple app interface for booking
- Pay-per-job pricing with no long-term contract
Watch out: Multiple reviewers report no-shows, incorrect billing for unserviced properties, and unresponsive customer support.
Services: irrigation lighting, snow removal, lawn care maintenance, landscape design installation
