Gelderman completed a landscaping project for me in 2017 that included grading, french drain system and re-sodding the lawn, an armour stone retaining wall, building a deck with a retractable shade around a hot tub as well as some heavy duty gates. They did a great job and they do stand by their work by addressing any issues that come up well after the job is finished. Highly recommended.

Gelderman Landscaping designed and installed a project for my penthouse condo this Spring.Condo buildings have strict rules for trades that work in the building.This year another layer of expectations was added due to Covid.This company provided stellar work from initial planning and designing to the final installation phase,at the same time being aware and respectful of the rules of my building.The crew of Shane,Phil,Scott and Tyler ,who did the heavy lifting and planting ,were punctual,efficient,knowledgeable ,respectful and friendly.It was a pleasure to work with this company who realized my dream for a beautiful terrace!

Had Gelderman build a outdoor kitchen for us. Everything went smooth until we started to have an issue with the countertop. The countertop was made from stone. The countertop started to flake and get uneven to the point where you couldn’t put a glass down because it would just fall over. We had them seal it so it wouldn’t stain, but even after we had it sealed it would still stain. I ended up calling Nathan he came and looked at it and determined a new stone was needed. We were given 3 samples of stone to choose from. After choosing the stone he sent Louie and 2 other workers to remove the old countertop and replace it with the new one. Louie and the boys were very professional and very polite to my my and I. After the job was completed they cleaned everything up to the point where you didn’t even know any work had been done. Once again thanks to Nathen, Louie and the boys for a job well done.

Our business has been open for 5 years, and we have had different Landscape companies throughout those years. Gelderman Landscape Services is by far THE BEST! They have turned our landscape into something extraordinary in our first 3 visits. It is great to know the exact day your landscaping will be completed, compared to others, once again, by far THE BEST! Also, having the same team here weekly, has been AWESOME! Our first day it was such a pleasure meeting Bruce, Sarah, and Adam. They are professional, have amazing landscape knowledge, explain answers to all questions we have had, and quite down to earth, a very friendly team. It was also a pleasure meeting and doing business with Kevin, Account Manager, Waterdown, Mark, Branch Manager, Waterdown, and Suzanne, Client Care Manager! I would recommend Gelderman Landscape Services to everyone! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! Thank you all for providing us with fantastic service!We are grateful.

Gelderman Landscape Services has been maintaining the gardens at our Condominium for just over a year now. I am fortunate to have a unit on ground floor facing a big beautiful garden. Our gardens look better than ever. Their crews are friendly and doing a great job. They are working hard when here. They know what they are doing. Other people have commented on how nice it all looks. I will give them a thumbs up.

We've had two separate crews in over the last couple of days the first crew did some repair on our interlocking brick and some small landscaping work the second crew today was a masonry company they had come in and did some repair on our flagstone in our backyard. It was seriously one of the best experiences we've had with workers coming in and working on our property the crew people were friendly and just the nicest guys to have around both days, and the work was absolutely outstanding we would recommend them 150%, we definitely will have them back again.

We hired Gelderman for our backyard project that included installation of a stone patio, window well, pool, shed and new lawn\plants. They were able to refer us to a pool builder they work with for the pool installation and despite the delays and challenges everyone was dealing with due to the pandemic, our project was completed in 5 months! The crew was super professional and respectful. Special mention to Chris, Dave, Jay and the rest of the team. We couldn't be happier with our decision.

We are very happy with the job Gelderman Landscape Services has done for us. Amanda and Darren worked hard lifting and moving heavy material to complete our new patio in a timely fashion. They were friendly and professional with great attention to detail. Thanks so much!

Bruce and Sarah have kept the gardens at Hearthstone on Burloak immaculate. During covid this has been particularly important as our seniors have been trapped, needing the joy of these gardens. Their friendliness and responsive to residents needs has been wonderful

James and his crew look after the complex where I live in Burlington. I have had them do some work at my unit and everyone is very professional and friendly. They do an amazing job maintaining the yards as well as the common grounds. The common theme in these reviews is that they consistently go "above and beyond" and I couldn't agree more.

Mike promptly came by and saw/ heard our concerns. He communicated to the crew of Chris, Nat and Luke who immediately addressed the concerns we had. Great job! Great crew! Thank you for making our place look fabulous again!

I have nothing to say but good things about an employee of yours at Gelderman Landscape Services. Luis is responsible for my backyard lawn at Katemore Place. Luis is courteous, cheerful and hard working who takes pride in doing a excellent job.

I am a firm believer in passing on congratulations and praise when deserved. Therefore, I am sending you my comments today. I have lived in Beechwood Villas for 7 years and have been a Board Member for our Condo responsible for Landscaping and Snow Removal for the past 5 or so years. We have used Gelderman for both our landscaping and snow removal needs.I have had the opportunity to work closely with Mike Blinkhorn as both a supervisor and as a General Manager over the years. Mike knows the high standards we have at Beechwood Villas and has been a real asset in helping us achieve them. Not a week goes by that I don’t receive a comment from a condo owner, board member or a passerby on how nice and well kept our property looks.I will be honest that these results didn’t happen overnight. There have been issues, however, in conjunction with Mike, the team leader and I, we have always been able to resolve them. A strong team leader with excellent communication and leadership skills makes all the difference. This is where Alex comes in. He has worked on the Beechwood Villas property in the past both as a team member as well as a leader. He has a strong desire to please his customer, processes a keen sense of prioritizing and has excellent communication skills with his team as well as myself. If there is ever an issue, it is dealt with immediately. He knows how to please the customer, motivate his team, achieve the desired results while having some fun doing it.A team leader is however, only as good as the people he/she surrounds themselves with. Alex is so fortunate to have such a fantastic crew including Justice, Tristan and Eddie working side by side with him. Not only are they hard working men, but they are also very conscientious, polite and a passionate for doing a great job. They take pride in their work and it shows. In this line of business, you are dealing with all sorts of weather-rain delays, and both hot and cold temperatures. These guys never complain and always are giving their best.To get Alex and his crew was somewhat like trying to draft a much-desired NHL player. I spoke to Mike about having Alex and his crew return for the 2021 season in the early spring. The issue was that Alex was transferred to another project and if I wanted them, I would have to give up my coveted regular Friday landscaping spot to a new Monday service. Mike drives a hard bargain; however, this is how badly I wanted Alex and his “Dream Team” to service our property. It was well worth the sacrifice!Overall, I have been very pleased with the services that Gelderman has provided. Last winter was a difficult one with all the ice and early snowfalls in November and December. The service and communication we received was the best yet. I commend Andrew Westrik and his daily Weather Condition updates keeping us up to date on weather forecasts and Gelderman’ s daily action plans. I would highly recommend Gelderman for their lawn and snow removal services.Yours truly,Bruce WoodBoard MemberLandscaping and Snow RemovalBeechwood Villas, Waterloo

Our backyard project included landscape regrading, enhanced drainage, new patio installation at the basement walkout, new landing installation at the base of the upper deck stairs, new connecting walkway along one side of the house, installation of new fencing, gates, planting beds and sodding. After initial consultations and scheduling with Chris about the work to be done, Dave and his professional crew (Amanda, Shawn, Darren, Nathan) not only started the project earlier than expected, but also completed the job earlier than expected. You could easily tell the team worked well together, they took pride in their work, and were very friendly and courteous. In addition, team members were quite open and adaptive to accommodating changes as the project unfolded. There was minimal disruption for us and our neighbours, and the crew cleaned up at the end of each day. We are very happy with the end product, including the quality and selection of stone materials to complement our existing stonework. Visitors have been highly complementary and impressed with the appearance of our yard. We highly recommend Gelderman Landscape Services for the quality and value of their services.

We recently chose Gelderman as the landscape company of record to care for our gardens at our condominium in south west Oakville. We could not be more satisfied by the work being done by both Bruce and Sarah. Bruce is the lead gardener who is highly knowledgable and a skilled professional and mentor.. We certainly made the right decision in choosing Gelderman Landscaping Services which Bruce and Sarah so aptly represent.Meg Folan Director of the Board.

The Gelderman Landscape Services is not only efficient and does extremely great work but they are also resourceful and effective in everything they do! Our landscape is always top notch and we can always rely on them to take care of any issues quickly and effectively regardless of season. I was surprised to see a Branch Manager come right out to our location to discuss a few things and I was blown away by that customer service so thank you again Mike! We really appreciate what you guys do and thank you very much for your valuable efforts in keeping our location looking professional and up beat!

Gelderman have taken over the weekly maintenance of 1998 Ironstone property this year and there is such a big difference from past years. Bruce and Sarah are fantastic, very approachable and receptive to answering our questions when it comes to gardening. Thanks for all your hard work!

Our year-round landscaping and property maintenance services are being superbly handled by Gelderman Landscape Services, with particular thanks to "Big Bruce" and his efficient crew. Also, a special thank-you to his conscientious new recruit, Sarah. No doubt it's a Gelderman trait, but Bruce pays careful and courteous attention to both the wishes and the whims of management and residents here (Hearthstone by the Lake in Burlington). My own obsession for precise edging around flower beds, walkways and along the street sidewalks is always more than adequately met throughout the season. Come check us out before the snow flies!

The landscaping at Hearthstone by the lake is gorgeous. I had a friend with me visiting recently and she commented several times on the overall beauty. Both Bruce and Sarah are doing a fantastic job. :)) It looks awesome!!!

Everyone was professional and able to answer every question in a timely manner. From the initial planning stages with Chris to Shawn and his entire landscape team; we felt comfortable, informed and confident in the work being done.We have, and will continue to recommend Gelderman Landscape Services to friends, family and neighbors who see our yard and want work done on theirs!Rob & Nat

Gelderman installed a bubbling rock for us. They did a very professional job and we love it. The patio stones around the rock settled and after 5 years they returned to raise and re-level the stone. You can count on these guys to do a professional job and stand behind it.

On behalf of our board, unit owners and residents, I thank you and your team for the great job you are doing with this winter's snow removal, reporting and your Winter Operations Updates. The teams have been timely, thorough and do a great job cleaning, salting, being careful to maintain vehicle distance and respecting our snow staging areas.We have appreciated your Winter Updates with its expected weather forecasts, behaviours, your teams' anticipated responses including when they plan being out; and educational components plus use of brine. We value your team's reports, including pictures, of each visit.Before the event occurs, we have even re-published some of your updates to our residents using our condo software's Announcement capability. There's lots of good information as well as educational components. It puts at rest some of our resident's fears of whether they will be able to get their vehicle out or whether the sidewalks are passable for a walk.Please keep up the great work and keep your site visit reports and updates coming!

Very pleased with this landscaping company . I have lived in my complex for 15 years and Gelderman Landscaping has been the best one by far.. Previous companies would slack off after a couple months into the contract but I find with this one,, they have stayed professional and always do a great job. I also like the fact they respond back if there is an issue. If your looking for an honest, reliable landscaper this company does not disappoint.

Our condo complex hired Gelderman to design a plan for our clubhouse grounds. He was one of three candidates interviewed. His was the lowest priceHe produced a plan taking into account the committee’s ideas. He has met with us twice so far and has made requested changes when asked.He is always available by email and text. Our relationship is cordial and professional.We are very pleased with Gelderman’s work to date and expect the project to be finished in the near future. We would recommend Gelderman to others seeking this type of work

My family and I are over the moon satisfied with the transformation of our backyard by Gelderman Landscape services, together with Pool Doctors. From design to planning, through construction and completion, Gelderman made our dream a reality, were able to meet schedule in the difficult COVID time, were upfront about costs, and made sure that we were fully satisfied. We would enthusiastically recommend Gelderman's to anyone.
