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.
A typical residential project runs CAD $5,000–$45,000. A new sod lawn is $1.50–$3.50/sq ft installed; paver patios $25–$45/sq ft; full backyard renovation $25,000–$80,000+. Use the calculator above for a project-specific estimate in your province.
BC and Alberta lead, with Vancouver and Calgary running 15–25% above the national average. Quebec and the Maritimes typically run 10–20% below.
All Canadian estimates are in Canadian dollars (CAD). If you switch the country selector to the US, prices automatically convert to USD.
