AntoineAsphalt.caHow Much Does Landscaping Cost in Hamilton?
Quick answer
HomeStars puts a typical single landscaping project in Canada at about $1,800 to $6,900 and a complete overhaul at about $17,000, with complex projects on large yards above $20,000. Its Hamilton page shows an average reported job of $8,535, but those figures are labelled "costs as of January 2021" and may be out of date. Project size, materials and site work drive the price, so an on-site quote is the only way to know your number.

How much does a full backyard makeover cost?
- Complete overhaul: about $17,204, typical market range (HomeStars Canada, undated).
- Toronto: basic small-yard projects from "as little as $2,000," and large yards with features can go over $100,000, typical market range (HomeStars Toronto, date not stated).
The range is wide because "makeover" can mean new beds and sod, or a full rebuild with a patio, walls and lighting.
