How does YardGrade rank lawn care companies?

YardGrade tracks 486 lawn care companies working across Canada, with a median 4.77★ Google rating over 40,463 reviews. In the Toronto market, installed lawn care typically runs $35–$55 per visit according to Mr. Mow It All (Toronto). YardGrade ranks every company by verified review data and verification checks, never paid placement, so the shortlist below reflects real reputation.

Rankings can't be bought. YardGrade scores each company with a Bayesian-adjusted Google rating, which weighs review volume so a 5.0 on three reviews does not outrank a 4.8 on three hundred. We then add small verification boosts for an active website, a listed phone number and real project photos. Across our dataset, 70% of rated lawn care companies clear 4.8★, so ranking gaps are meaningful. Positions update as new review data lands. Read our full methodology.

Questions to ask your contractor

  • Is pricing based on measured turf area or total lot size? How lawn size changes price
  • Which products are in the fertilizer program, and how many visits?
  • Do you offer a prepay discount on the season package?
  • Is aeration priced standalone or bundled with fall service?

Frequently asked questions

How much does lawn care cost in Canada?

In the Toronto market, Mr. Mow It All (Toronto) puts weekly mowing — small lot (under ~2,000 sq ft) at $35–$55 per visit, and weekly mowing — mid-size lot (2,000–4,000 sq ft) at $45–$75 per visit (Absolute Home Services (Ontario 2025 guide)).

YardGrade's lawn care cost guide lists every line item with its source.

How do I choose a good lawn care company?

Compare at least three written, itemized quotes rather than defaulting to the cheapest. YardGrade ranks 486 lawn care companies at a median 4.77★ Google rating and a median of 28 reviews each, so start with the shortlist above, then confirm insurance and recent local references before you sign.

When is the best time to book lawn care?

The lawn care season runs Apr–Oct. Reputable companies book several weeks ahead in peak months, so request quotes early; shoulder-season bookings often win better pricing.

Do I need a permit, and is sales tax included in lawn care quotes?

Most posted prices exclude tax, and the rate depends on the province. Sales tax varies by province — Ontario adds 13% HST, Alberta and BC add 5% GST. Permit needs depend on scope and municipality: routine work rarely needs one, but driveway widening, boulevard work and retaining walls over 1 metre generally require municipal approval a reputable contractor handles. Open your city above for the local rate and rules.

Can companies pay to rank higher on YardGrade?

No. Rankings come from a Bayesian-adjusted Google rating plus verification boosts for a website, phone and photos, never payment. Across our dataset, 70% of rated lawn care companies clear 4.8★, so small ranking gaps are meaningful. Full details are on our methodology page.
