What to know before hiring a landscaper in Fredericton
Lawn care and planting need no licence in New Brunswick. Retaining walls above a certain height, decks, fences on property lines and anything that changes drainage toward a neighbour can need a municipal permit in Fredericton, and an underground locate is required by law before digging near services. Ask who calls for the locate.
Water restrictions and pesticide rules are municipal or provincial and change year to year; a local company will know the current stage. For irrigation, a backflow preventer is required by most water utilities and is tested annually.
Fredericton combines heritage homes near the river with newer subdivisions on the north side and the hill, and spring flooding along the Saint John River is a recurring reality for low-lying properties. Winters are long and cold, so heating equipment is the first-priority repair.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in Fredericton?
Often yes above a threshold height set by the municipality, and always if it holds back a slope near a building. Check with the Fredericton permit office; a landscaper who has built walls locally will know the number.
Can a landscaper change the grading around my house?
Yes, and it is one of the most useful things they can do for a wet basement, but grading that sends water toward a neighbour can be a bylaw problem. Ask for a plan that drains to the street or a drywell.
Are lawn pesticides allowed in New Brunswick?
Rules differ by province and municipality and change frequently; many Canadian cities restrict cosmetic pesticide use. A licensed applicator will know what is currently permitted in Fredericton.
When should I book seasonal landscaping in Fredericton?
Spring clean-ups and fall closings fill up weeks in advance; a company that also plows or removes snow may bundle the year. Book before the season, not during it.
