Commercial landscaping in Montreal: what property managers need to know

Commercial landscaping in Montreal operates on a completely different scale than residential work. A missed mow at a home is an inconvenience. A neglected commercial property affects tenant satisfaction, customer first impressions, and in some cases, municipal compliance. Here's what a proper commercial contract should look like.

What commercial landscaping contracts typically include

• Weekly or bi-weekly lawn mowing and edging
• Seasonal planting — annuals in spring and fall
• Hedge and shrub trimming on a defined schedule
• Spring and fall cleanup
• Irrigation system startup and shutdown
• Snow removal and de-icing (often bundled in a year-round contract)
• Monthly site visits and property condition reports

Year-round vs. seasonal contracts

For most commercial properties in Montreal, a year-round contract makes the most sense. The same crew handles your grounds in summer and your snow removal in winter, knows your property layout, and provides consistent service without the coordination headache of managing two separate vendors.

What to look for in a commercial provider

• Commercial liability insurance — minimum $2M coverage
• CNESST coverage for workers on your property
• Written service schedule with clear response time commitments
• Dedicated account contact, not just a call centre
• Experience with your property type (retail, industrial, multi-residential, etc.)
