This Standard, (June 2024 Update) sets guidelines and makes recommendations for all significant aspects of the landscape industry. It is intended that the Canadian Landscape Standard will set guidelines for landscape construction projects across Canada. It is designed for anyone who specifies landscape work, including landscape architects, designers, municipal parks, planning departments, procurement departments, and allied organizations. It is intended for landscape contractors to support them in the bid process. Furthermore, it supports industry-related educational and training programs.
Updated Version (June 2024) of the CLS is now available!
The Canadian Landscape Standard (CLS) Steering Committee is proud to release a revised edition (June 2024) of the Canadian Landscape Standard, a value of $100, free to CNLA members. This edition contains a new and revised Section 5—Growing Medium and several other updates.
The science of soils is a continually evolving subject, and the CLS is a living document that will endeavour to reflect this evolution. The CLS Committee commissioned Vineland Laboratories to develop a revised Section 5, and a national consultation followed. This is the result of Vineland Laboratories' work, your feedback, and the discussions of the CLS Committee.
