Frequently Asked Questions

Can I pave near a mature tree?▾

With care. Cutting major roots or covering the whole root zone can kill the tree over time. An experienced landscaper proposes solutions that preserve it.

Is authorisation needed to remove a tree?▾

The city regulates removal, with criteria based on species, diameter and condition. Check before the crew arrives.

My yard stays soggy under the trees. What can be done?▾

Improve surface drainage, reduce soil compaction and choose plants that tolerate shade and moisture. Classic lawn is not always the right call.

When should I request quotes?▾

Winter or early spring, before the season fills up.

How do I verify a contractor is licensed?▾

For structural work, ask for the RBQ licence number and search the Régie du bâtiment du Québec public registry.

Landscaper in Gatineau: what to know

Many lots in the Gatineau region have mature trees, which is both an asset and a constraint for a landscaping project.

Working around trees

Excavating near a mature tree damages its roots and can doom it, sometimes two or three years later. An experienced landscaper plans trenches and hard surfaces around the root zone. Removal, meanwhile, is governed by municipal rules.

Drainage

Under tree cover, soil stays wet longer. Hard surfaces and slopes must be designed to shed water, otherwise pavers heave and lawn turns to moss.

Storms

The region has seen severe wind events. Damaged or weakened trees deserve assessment before you landscape around them.

Licence

For a retaining wall or exterior stairs, ask for the RBQ licence, liability insurance and a CNESST clearance.
