Horticulture & Garden Care in Montreal
Healthy plants, vibrant beds and blooms that last all season long.
A beautiful garden is never an accident. It takes a trained eye, the right cut at the right moment and a real understanding of which plants actually thrive in our climate. At L'Île Verte, our horticulture service looks after the health of your plants, the pruning of your shrubs and perennials, and the seasonal color of your beds across Montreal, Laval and the North Shore.
Whether you have a residential yard, a condo property or a commercial site anywhere in Greater Montreal, we tailor the care to your specific plants and their exposure. The goal stays the same: a living, healthy and colorful landscape from spring through the first fall frosts, without you having to think about it.

Garden care built for the Montreal climate
Horticulture is much more than random watering and trimming. Every plant has its own needs, and our short growing season leaves little room for timing mistakes. We prune spring-flowering shrubs after they bloom, cut back perennials at the right moment, and favor hardy plants that survive winters in Montreal, Laval and the North Shore. That attention to detail is what separates a garden that merely survives from one that truly flourishes.
We always start by looking closely: your soil type, sun exposure, drainage and the condition of the plants already in place. From there, we propose a realistic care plan, from disease scouting and annual rotations to fertilization and mulching. Rather than ripping everything out, we first try to revive what can be saved. It's usually more affordable and easier on the landscape you already have.
Because we offer 4-season service, your garden is cared for year-round: preparation and planting in spring, upkeep and bloom through summer, cleanup and protection of fragile plants in fall. The same crew already knows your property from one season to the next, which means consistency and results that keep improving year after year. Request your free quote to talk through your project.
Frequently asked questions
- What affects the cost of a horticulture service?
- Price depends mainly on the size of your beds, the number and type of plants, the current condition of the garden and how often you'd like us to visit. A one-time cleanup costs less than regular season-long care, but ongoing care delivers far better results. You'll get a free, detailed quote before we begin, with no surprises.
- When is the best time to prune my shrubs and perennials?
- It depends on the species. Spring-flowering shrubs are pruned right after they bloom, while many perennials and summer-flowering shrubs are cut back in late winter or early spring. Pruning at the wrong time can cost you a whole year's flowers, which is why we schedule every cut around the calendar that's right for your specific plants.
- Do you serve both homes and commercial properties?
- Yes. We care for residential gardens as well as the beds of condos, buildings and commercial sites across Montreal, Laval and the North Shore. For commercial work, we adjust scheduling and access to minimize disruption, and we can set up a seasonal contract to keep your landscape looking sharp all year.
- Can you save plants that look sick or struggling?
- Often, yes. We start with scouting: soil, drainage, fungal disease, insect pests or simply a lack of care. Many plants bounce back with corrective pruning, targeted fertilization and better growing conditions. We'll tell you honestly what's worth saving and what's better replaced.
