Company Background
About Paysagiste Légaré
Paysagiste Légaré calls itself Montreal's landscaper for three generations, and the history on its site backs that up. Joseph-Aimé Légaré founded the company in 1982 around residential lawn care. After his death in 1990 his sons took over, and Mario Légaré led the expansion and obtained the RBQ licence in 1996. Jonathan joined the landscaping team in 2008 and has been a site foreman since 2020, and Sophie, who graduated in landscape design in 2019, works on summer maintenance and plantings.
The company lists its credentials plainly: RBQ licence 8005-8522-05, APPQ membership since 1998 and certified APCHQ membership since 2017. Its work is mostly hardscape and planting for houses. The services page names paver and slab installation, retaining walls, slabs over landings, balconies and steps, rolled sod and seeding, flower bed preparation, river and crushed stone, coping, and foundations for sheds or hot tubs. Irrigation and lighting go through partner Irriglobe, fencing through Clôture Péri-Maître, and plans through the landscape architect L'Espace Paysage. Maintenance and snow removal are separate services.
Customer reviews are shorter than for some competitors but consistent. One client called the team efficient, polite and on time, another praised the after-sales service, and a third said the crew completely renovated an entryway and later returned to make adjustments with care. One older one-star review complained about a refusal to deliver only gravel, which is a materials-supply question rather than a job-quality issue. Google shows 4.7 from 59 reviews, read 2026-11-06.
Paysagiste Légaré suits owners of older Montreal houses who want entrances, walkways and pavers built by an established family firm. It suits less well buyers wanting an in-house designer, because design, irrigation and lighting are subcontracted through partners. The site states no warranty or insurance details. Before booking, ask for a written quote, how the base is prepared and warranted, and confirm RBQ 8005-8522-05 on the Régie du bâtiment du Québec lookup.
