FAQ for this service
What plants survive Montreal winters best for garden beds?
Hardy perennials like echinacea, black-eyed Susan, sedum, and ornamental grasses perform well in zones 4b-5b. We also recommend native shrubs such as serviceberry and ninebark that require minimal winter protection and return stronger each spring.
How long does the garden design process take from start to planting?
A typical residential garden design takes 2-3 weeks for the planning phase, followed by 1-3 days of installation depending on the scope. We schedule planting during optimal windows -- late May through June or September -- to give roots time to establish before temperature extremes.
Can you design a garden that looks good in all four Quebec seasons?
Yes. We use a four-season design approach that combines evergreen structure plants for winter interest, early spring bulbs, summer-blooming perennials, and fall foliage from ornamental grasses and shrubs like burning bush or sumac. Even under snow, well-placed conifers and hardscape elements keep the garden visually appealing.
