Yard & Garden Services
Gardening Services in Markham, ON
Planting, pruning, bed preparation, mulching, and seasonal colour — one-time gardening jobs handled by an experienced crew that knows what grows in Markham.
One-Time Gardening Jobs, Done Right
Sometimes you need a crew to come in and get a specific job done — a new planting bed, a tired garden refreshed, overgrown shrubs brought back into shape, or a full seasonal colour rotation. MRPRO's gardening service handles one-time projects of all sizes, from a single afternoon of work to multi-day planting installations.
We bring the knowledge, the tools, and the plants. Our team assesses your site before recommending anything — sun exposure, soil conditions, drainage, and your existing plants all factor into what we suggest. We plant for how your garden will look in three years, not just on day one.
Gardening jobs can be booked as a standalone service or combined with our recurring Garden Maintenance plan to keep everything looking its best after we leave.

What's Included
From a single planting job to a full garden transformation — we handle it all.
Planting & Transplanting
Annuals, perennials, shrubs, ornamental grasses — we source, plant, and position for the best growing conditions and visual impact. Existing plants can be divided or relocated as needed.
Pruning & Shaping
Proper pruning at the right time of year encourages healthy growth, improves flowering, and keeps shrubs and ornamentals looking intentional. We never over-prune.
Bed Cleanup & Preparation
Clearing out dead material, loosening compacted soil, and adding compost or amendments before planting gives new plants the best possible start.
Mulching & Topdressing
A fresh layer of mulch retains moisture, suppresses weeds, regulates soil temperature, and gives beds a clean, finished look that lasts all season.
Seasonal Colour Rotations
Keep your garden looking its best year-round with planned seasonal plantings — spring bulbs, summer annuals, and fall colour all timed to transition seamlessly.
Garden Design Consultation
Not sure what to plant or where? We'll walk your property, assess sun exposure, soil, and existing plants, and recommend a plan that suits your style and budget.
How It Works
A straightforward process from first visit to finished garden.
01
Site Walkthrough
We visit your property, assess your existing garden, soil conditions, sun exposure, and drainage, and listen to what you're hoping to achieve.
02
Plant & Design Recommendation
Based on the assessment, we recommend plants, layouts, and materials suited to your conditions and goals. We'll explain the reasoning so you can make informed decisions.
03
Sourcing & Preparation
We source quality plants from trusted local nurseries, prepare the beds, amend the soil as needed, and arrive ready to plant on the scheduled day.
04
Planting & Finishing
Plants go in at the right depth and spacing, beds are mulched, and the area is left clean and tidy. We walk you through basic aftercare before we leave.

We plant for how your garden will look in three years, not just on day one. Spacing, growth habits, and seasonal interest are all considered.
Common Questions
Everything you need to know about our gardening service.
Do you supply the plants or do I need to buy them?
We handle everything — sourcing, delivery, and planting. We'll recommend specific plants based on your site and budget, and include the cost of plants and materials in your quote. If you already have plants you'd like us to use, that works too.
What is the best time of year to plant?
Spring and fall are ideal for most perennials and shrubs in the Markham area — cooler temperatures and reliable rainfall help new plants establish. Annuals go in after the last frost, typically mid-May. We'll advise on timing based on what you want to plant.
Can you work with my existing garden?
Absolutely. Most gardening jobs involve working around existing plants — dividing overgrown perennials, filling gaps, removing what isn't working, and refreshing beds. We assess what's there before recommending anything new.
Do you offer ongoing garden maintenance after planting?
Yes. Our Garden Maintenance plan covers regular weeding, pruning, deadheading, and seasonal adjustments on a recurring basis. Many customers combine a one-time planting job with an ongoing maintenance plan to keep everything looking its best.
How much does a gardening job typically cost?
It varies widely depending on the scope — a single bed refresh might be a few hundred dollars, while a full property planting project could be several thousand. We provide a detailed quote after the site walkthrough so you know exactly what to expect.
What areas do you service?
We serve Markham, Unionville, Stouffville, Richmond Hill, Scarborough, Pickering, Ajax, and surrounding GTA communities.
