Provincial pricing varies significantly. Pick your province and the calculator applies the right multiplier automatically.
Three factors drive the spread. First, labour: a landscape labourer in Vancouver or Toronto bills $45–$70/hour; in rural Quebec or the Maritimes you’ll see $30–$45. Second, materials: pavers, lumber, and aggregates carry transport surcharges of 10–25% in markets far from manufacturing hubs (Newfoundland, northern provinces). Third, season length: shorter installation windows in northern Canada compress demand, pushing peak-season rates higher than the long-season climates further south.
Our Canadian pricing draws from Statistics Canada construction cost indices, Landscape Ontario contractor benchmarks, the Canadian Nursery Landscape Association, and homeowner-reported quotes across major metros. Provincial multipliers are reviewed every six months. See our full methodology page for details.
