Les Artisans du Paysage Du Québec

What Les Artisans du Paysage Du Québec does

Les Artisans du Paysage Du Québec is a full-service landscape architecture, installation, renovation, maintenance, and thematic decoration firm headquartered at 7668 Boulevard Wilfrid-Hamel in Québec City, Canada. Founded in 1976 by Jack Lavoie and Annie Racine, the company has completed more than 20,000 projects across the greater Québec City and Lévis region and serves residential, commercial, and institutional clients. Its core offering spans five service lines — landscape architecture (including 3D visualization and virtual reality walkthroughs), turnkey landscape installation, structural and horticultural renovation, recurring landscape maintenance, and seasonal thematic decoration — delivered by a team of 100+ professional horticulturists and landscapers holding the Maître Paysager designation and APPQ membership.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer sales model with project-based pricing, free initial consultations (refundable fees for design/renovation projects), and a structured funnel from website or phone inquiry through on-site project manager visit, preliminary plan, and signed contract. Recurring revenue is generated through multi-year maintenance contracts (seasonal bed care, fertilization, pruning, leaf collection, winter protection), while one-time project revenue comes from design and installation work for residential and commercial/institutional customers. Marketing is primarily inbound via an active blog, email newsletter, Facebook presence, and a project inspiration gallery, supplemented by strong word-of-mouth referrals.

The company is privately held and employee-owned; in 2021, ownership passed to Julie Fournier (President & CEO) and Félix Bouchard (Administrative and Financial Director). It holds the mandatory Quebec RBQ contractor license (8246-0882-01) and has accumulated 30+ industry awards including the Prix Milan Havlin (2012, 2018) and the Grand Prix canadien d'Excellence (2019). No external institutional, private equity, or venture capital investors are disclosed in the source material, and revenue figures are not publicly reported.
