Licences pour Aménagement paysager au Québec

Landscaping is not a regulated trade in Quebec. No specific provincial licence is required for general landscaping work. However, a certificate for the sale and use of pesticides is required for applying pesticides, herbicides, and chemical treatments. Hardscaping work that constitutes construction may require an RBQ contractor licence depending on the scope. Some municipalities have specific bylaws for landscaping contractors. Voluntary certifications through Québec Vert and other industry associations are available.

For chemical treatments, ask for their pesticide application certificate. Ask about their experience and check references.

(1) No written contract or design plan for projects over $1,000 (2) Does not call Ontario One Call before digging - this is a legal requirement (3) No liability insurance - landscaping involves heavy equipment and potential property damage (4) Skips proper base preparation for hardscaping (compacted gravel base is essential)

(1) Do you carry liability insurance and WSIB coverage? (2) Will you call Ontario One Call to locate underground utilities before digging? (3) What base preparation will you do for hardscaping (interlock, retaining walls)? (4) Do you provide a warranty on your work, and for how long? (5) Can I see examples of similar completed projects?

Bien que cela ne soit pas exigé par la loi, il est fortement recommandé que les aménagement paysagers détiennent une assurance responsabilité. Demandez une preuve de couverture avant d'embaucher.

Au Québec, la plupart des entrepreneurs qui exécutent des travaux de construction doivent détenir une licence de la RBQ (Régie du bâtiment du Québec). Vous pouvez vérifier la licence de tout entrepreneur dans le Registre des détenteurs de licence en ligne de la RBQ à rbq.gouv.qc.ca. Demandez toujours le numéro de licence et vérifiez-le avant d'embaucher.

Les prix types pour les aménagement paysagers au Québec se situent entre $50-$100/hour (crew rate). Property size, project complexity, material choices (natural stone vs. concrete pavers, sod vs. seed), grading and drainage requirements, accessibility of the site, whether excavation is needed, plant species and sizes, and seasonal timing. Hardscaping projects (interlock, retaining walls) are significantly more expensive than softscaping (planting, sodding). Design fees are additional for complex projects. Ces chiffres sont des estimations de planification, et non des soumissions ou des garanties; demandez une soumission écrite détaillée avant d’embaucher.
