Licences pour Entretien de pelouse et de terrain au Québec

Lawn and yard maintenance is not a regulated trade in Quebec and no RBQ contractor licence is required for mowing, trimming, or seasonal cleanup. Applying pesticides, herbicides, or chemical treatments requires a certificate issued under the Pesticides Act, administered by the Ministère de l'Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs (MELCCFP), and Quebec restricts many cosmetic lawn pesticides under the Pesticides Management Code. Some municipalities require a business permit. Voluntary credentials through Québec Vert are available.

Ask for proof of liability insurance, and for a pesticide application certificate if any chemical weed control is proposed. Check references for regularly maintained properties.

(1) Is this a seasonal contract or per-visit, and what exactly is included each visit? (2) Do you carry WSIB coverage and liability insurance?

Bien que cela ne soit pas exigé par la loi, il est fortement recommandé que les entretien de pelouse et de terrains 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 entretien de pelouse et de terrains au Québec se situent entre $40-$80/hour (crew rate). Property size, frequency of service (weekly, bi-weekly, one-time), lawn condition, slope and accessibility, volume of debris or leaves, and whether materials such as mulch, seed, or fertilizer are included. Seasonal contracts are usually cheaper per visit than one-time calls. Pesticide and herbicide application carries additional licensing cost. These are indicative ranges only; confirm current pricing with local providers, as rates vary by region and market conditions.
