Hello!

A Few Words About Me (more about you)

A Toronto gardener and his company

I’m not going to bore you with vague or generic mission statements or slogans which a typical Toronto gardening services provider may pronounce because, if we’re honest, you probably don’t care. What’s important to know about me is that:

I know my plants and how to take care of them
I respect your time when it comes to meetings and visits
I don’t use pesticides, herbicides or gas-powered machines
I’m very easy to work with if our relationship is based on mutual respect

(Credentials are important though. I’m a graduate of Humber College’s Landscape Technician program, with honours, in 2006 and have been in business since 2005.)

Enough about me. What about you?

Toronto homeowners like you are having a tough time finding credible and efficient care for their valuable gardens. Time after time, I hear stories about landscaping workers who don’t know about plants, rush through their visit and spoil your gardens with the sounds and smells of their gas-powered mowers and blowers. You question them about the service you’re getting and receive shrugs and excuses in return.

And you paid good money for this? Why would you accept this?

I decided that you and your gardens deserve much better. It just makes sense for you to hire a mature, experienced and non-smoking gardener who you can trust to work on your property and around your family, is knowledgeable about perennials, annuals, shrubs and trees while providing consistent, reliable and creative gardening services.

In my client's words

"Paul, Thanks so much for all the great work that you did at our place. It looks really great, and we definitely appreciate that you flexed your schedule to fit us in so quickly. We will certainly refer you to our friends if they are looking for yard work/ gardening services in the future. Cheers" Scott Affleck

"Just as I was thinking to phone and say a big thank you to you, I receive your email. You did a great job and so quickly.... The backyard looks great. Thanx soooooo much...... see you next year. Have a good winter. Cheers" Marlene Chapelle (Toronto, October 2011)

"Paul, I just wanted to let you know how happy I was with my garden this year. After my former gardener retired I was apprehensive about taking on someone who I didn’t know. I needn’t have worried. The garden bloomed under your care, including perennials, annuals and shrubs. All my guests remarked how beautiful it looked right through spring, summer and fall. I look forward to working with you again in 2014 and another successful year. Regards" Brian Gallaugher (Toronto, January 2014)
