We chose Avanti for our front and backyard, we also put up a wood panel fence and could not have been happier with the look and service! We did the work in late summer, recently we had a quick couple questions and Derrick was more than accommodating on a Friday afternoon and squeezed in a time slot from his busy schedule to come over. All this could have been done over the phone, felt like during the whole process we had a very personalized service! Thanks again Derrick for detouring to stop by and answer our questions in person :)

I’m very particular about the quality of work, and Tom was incredibly patient with my perfectionism throughout the process.The entire team delivered with precision and artistry. You can tell they genuinely care about their work and take pride in their craftsmanship. Every detail was carefully handled, and the finished product exceeded our expectations.We’re thrilled with how everything turned out and would highly recommend Avanti Landscaping to anyone looking for quality, professionalism, and beautiful results.

We hired Avanti based on a referral from a contractor we trust. We were not disappointed! Peter, the designer was a pleasure to work with and always responded quickly to emails. Chen and his crew were meticulous and always ready to answer questions. Lina, the bookkeeper, made it easy to make payments by credit card so we could collect points. We have had many compliments about the work, and many neighbours have asked us for the company information so they could contact them!

So happy we came across Avanti, we chose them over other landscapers as their work met our standards of modern up to date looks and also they seem to be a rare landscaping company that has a receptionist who answers the phone. Many companies I called never returned calls. Their loss. We wanted a grass-less low maintenance front yard, we have a typical Toronto shoebox front yard, we didn’t want fullness with plants but rather a linear planned garden with straight lines with perennial plants and Avanti delivered!! Peter, Henry & his team and Derrick were all amazing! Very easy to deal with. Derrick went above and beyond..I had called him and asked to switch a few plants in the front, and with no questions or hesitation he bought the plants and planted them himself. He had told me, he was going to surprise us by planting them without telling us so when we came home from work we’d see these new plants! Highly recommend Avanti!! We are happy, thank you 😊

FAQ

For most grading projects, we will first conduct a topographic survey, determine existing site elevations and drainage patterns, and strategically relocate soil on your property to improve water drainage and provide the needed foundation for landscaping or construction projects. With proper grading, you'll reduce erosion, eliminate pooling or flooding, and improve the overall usability of your property.

The City of Toronto requires a grading permit for most projects involving elevation changes of >30cm. All necessary documentation, including drainage calculations and site plans, are prepared and submitted by our licensed civil engineers to expedite municipal approvals.

We provide grading quotes based on site dimensions, soil composition, and the steepness of existing slopes. Although we ever very detail-oriented in our estimates, it's possible that unforeseen subsurface conditions (such as buried debris) could require additional work and specialized equipment for removal (e.g., bedrock).

We offer fully transparent pricing on all labor, equipment usage & disposal costs; the sole potential added expense would be municipal permitting fees if applicable (an itemized list will be supplied during the consultation process).

Our team will immediately cease work upon encountering unexpected issues such as underground utility lines or unstable fill material, and consult with you on available remediation options, along with adjusted timelines and costs before proceeding.

Most residential grading projects can be completed within 2-5 days onsite; delays can occur due to permitting approval wait times (typically 1-3 weeks) or inclement weather conditions affecting soil workability.

We offer a 5-year limited labor warranty on most projects covering issues related to settling or drainage concerns arising from our workmanship; detailed terms & conditions of our warranties can be found on our website's warranty page.

Our team uses laser-guided equipment to ensure precision to the millimeter; upon completion of work, we conduct a final inspection utilizing 3D mapping software to confirm compliance with Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 742.

We do offer priority scheduling on certain jobs designated as time-sensitive by clients; available options include weekend work & additional crews for paced completion, subject to surcharges.

We'll send you daily email updates with photos of progress made onsite; you’ll also have access to a dedicated project manager during ongoing business hours (8am - 6pm) via phone/email.

We ask that homeowners remove any portable items from designated work areas (e.g., lawn ornaments, patio furniture) within a 3-meter radius. Our crew will handle tree/root removal and arrange to have utility lines marked before excavation begins.

Our standard approach involves installing French drains and building swales where necessary; we also offer optional permeable paving systems to help manage heavy rainfall on applicable sites.

We have a full portfolio of past projects including case studies and before/after photos from similar properties in North York, Scarborough & Etobicoke.

Following completion, you’ll receive a graded site ready for further landscaping steps (i.e. sod/seed applications, plantings). Recognizing environmental factors, we also include erosion control matting on sloped areas and provide a 6-month follow-up inspection to check settling. Ongoing maintenance plans are available for clients with more challenging terrain.

We coordinate with Ontario One Call to have your property surveyed and marked for all public utilities; additionally, our team uses ground-penetrating radar to assess the site before we dig.

As a company, we hold $5 million in liability insurance as well as WSIB coverage for all employees. Our team members are fully licensed by the PEO (Professional Engineers Ontario) & Ontario Ministry of Environment. Further details can be provided upon request.

We require a 15% deposit to secure your project date, and we accept various payment methods including credit cards & e-transfers. We also partner with third-party institutions for financing terms.

We will leave your property free of any debris or refuse; our disposal process includes documented recycling of at least 90% of all materials – you will receive a waste disposal certificate detailing handled waste streams.
