Landscaping Construction Leads in Thunder Bay (2026): 54 Projects in the Award Window
To find landscaping construction leads in Thunder Bay, work from building permits and time the call to the build stage. On October 9, 2026, 54 permitted projects in the City of Thunder Bay were still at the point where landscaping is awarded. The builder or developer awards landscaping near completion, often because occupancy or the site plan requires it; on custom homes the owner decides, sometimes with a landscape architect. Builtie reads the permits, estimates each project's stage and attaches the builder or general contractor with a verified decision maker.
The same four steps, whether the buyer is a builder, a designer, an owner or a company you want to acquire.

59% of them are new buildings and 41% are renovations, additions or alterations: a mix of ground-up builds, where the builder decides, and renovations, where the owner or designer often does. Only 0% were permitted in the last 90 days, and that is expected: landscaping is bought late, so a project permitted a year ago is only now reaching the stage where the landscaping contract is decided. Thunder Bay ranks 19 of 25 markets Builtie covers for landscaping, behind Overland Park (69 projects).
A project counts when its permit was issued in the last four years, the build is still inside the stage when landscaping is awarded, and the job is big enough to be worth quoting: at least $6k of landscaping work. Trade sub-permits are grouped into their parent project, so this is a count of projects, not permits.
