Kindness! One of the gelderman team helped us while ploughing our community. He was polite and helpful. We at Lost Forest appreciate what he did to make the cleanup from this last storm easier. Thank you for your help. It was greatly appreciated

I couldn't be more pleased with what Gelderman Landscape Services have done to our lawn. The design is impeccable, the service is next to none. To the initial quote, communication, design, hard work and price you cannot go wrong going with this company. Make the call! You will not be disappointed. Lawn of your dreams.

We engaged Gelderman to update our front and back yards after extensive renovations to our home. Chris designed a beautiful landscape that Phil and his team built for us. Everyone was great to work with and always left the property clean at the end of the day. Gelderman brought in others that refurbished our pool, did masonry, carpentry, irrigation, fencing and lighting Everyone was so easy to deal with and helped us achieve our dream yard. We are extremely happy with the end result.

This past summer we had both our front and back yards redesigned and landscaped. From the design to the build, the Gelderman crew was professional, punctual, flexible and polite. Chris was great during the design process by listening to our needs and adapting to changes we made. Justin and his crew were amazing. They showed up daily, worked hard and always left the site tidy. Greg also did a great job with the masonry. We love the final product and have been enjoying our yards thanks to the Gelderman team.

We hired Gelderman Landscape to transform our front yard, including a flagstone porch with new railings, an interlock tiered pathway, and a retaining wall. Gelderman also installed a new asphalt driveway with flagstone borders and beautifully shaped garden beds with armour stone decorative features and lights. Chris guided us in finalizing design decisions and materials, and once the project started, Phil was our main contact. Phil kept us well informed throughout construction and the crew on track, and really was a pleasure to interact with. All of the team members were fantastic, especially Greg and Michael who were involved throughout construction and really made the design come to life. Also, Shane and Tristan made sure that the armour stone placement and garden shape turned out perfectly. We highly recommend Gelderman Landscape. They are professional, responsive, and attentive to details. Aesthetically, our front yard surpassed our expectations and we are so happy with the result!

We hired Gelderman Landscape to design our backyard including the hardscape, garden, pool and cabana. Chris was our main contact and worked with us to design our backyard. The project started as soon as our permit was issued and the crew worked diligently to complete the project in a timely manner. Dave, Shawn, Jason, Misaell, Tristan, Louis and Milena were all fantastic. I would highly recommend Gelderman Landscape. They are very responsive and professional and always willing to help. Our backyard surpassed our expectations and we couldn't be happier!

We had an excellent experience with Gelderman. We had an outdoor living space attached to our home, patio, landscaping, shed construction, fence, walkways and driveway completed. Chris was professional and attentive to our needs, concerns and overall vision. He was helpful with colour and material selections. The quote he presented to us was clear, organized with no hidden costs. Dave was our projected manager and he responded to any issues or concerns on the job in a timely manner. All concerns were resolved with no issues and followed through on any requests we made. He was friendly and very patient with us during this project. Shawn, Jason, Misaell and Tristan were exceptional and are very talented, friendly, hardworking and punctual. We highly recommend Gelderman. Ted and Anna Whaling.

We had a great experience with Gelderman and love our new stairs leading from the driveway to the front porch. We've already received many compliments from the neighbourhood on the design and quality of the work, and we would recommend Gelderman without hesitation. Justin and Tyler were great to have onsite – they kept the place tidy and were very respectful of our neighbours and those who passed by on the sidewalk. Thank you to Dave for helping with the stone selection and making sure everything ran smoothly.

Esther and her team of Catherine, Chris, Griffin, Shawn and Joe did an amazing job of doing a winter cleanup of our townhouse complex. The team did a very professional job of leaf clean up in the complex. Esther ensured that all the yards were clear of leaves. The leaf pick up at the curb was immediate to ensure that the leaves would not make their way back into the yards of the complex. The team went the extra mile today.A Job well done.

Harry Gelderman is a man of his word. He and his company have proven that they truly do stand behind the quality of their work forever.Over the past years, we have hired Gelderman Landscape Services to lay various bordered stone pathways across the front and down the side of our house, down the sides of our driveway and recently we asked this company to lay sloped but flush pathways around and between our 4 huge garden bins in the backyard. I can now do my gardening in those huge bins while standing up and walking around each bin on that sloped stone pathway, without my feet getting wet since the slope allows run-off of rain/water onto the lawn. This has been great! Very impressive. It is so wonderful to no longer be walking on wet swampy ground while I do my gardening. It is also great that the sloped pathways are flush and hence there are no trip hazards! Fabulous job!Recently, I noticed that, on the original pathways around this house that were done quite a while ago, some of the grout between the stones on the pathways around the house was coming up and had become unattached. Therefore, as the chunks of grout got dislodged and detached itself from its intended location between the stones, the trip hazards created by the holes left between the pathways stones was becoming a concern. I emailed Harry Gelderman and asked him if he could send someone to remove the moss that had grown in some of the gravel-cement between the stones and I asked him if his guys could fill (re-grout) in the places where grout had lifted and become unattached in clumps. Promptly, Harry did send his workers to fix, clean out, refill and repair the sections between the stones that had become a concern.Harry confirmed for me that his company does still stand behind their work forever as he had said they would, and he confirmed that he still would honour his word and that there would NOT be a charge for this repair work. Great! Wow. Harry's stellar company really does stand behind their work! That was very impressive and appreciated!Tristan and Louis, his workers, came to do the repair work. Everything that needed attention was done well and those workers were great in answering and addressing any questions and/or concerns that I had along the way. Tristan and Louis were amazing! Talk about "Service-Oriented'. Wow! They were very professional, willing to address my questions and requests, and diligent in making sure that all was done extremely well. I think their standards were even higher than mine, and that was exemplary and appreciated! I no longer have trip hazards nor any missing grout between any of the stones on all of our pathways and stairs. Thank you, Harry, for keeping your word and rectifying this strange occurrence of the grout lifting over time, which was strange for sure, and hence thanks again for not charging me for this repair work. Also, thank you for hiring and sending such professional, skilled, detail-oriented workers to do this job. Our place is much nicer (and safer) again. You are a man of your word, and I appreciate it. Thanks! Yet again, your company has done a superb job! Outstanding job! I am not surprised since every job your company has done here has been superb, but I am VERY appreciative of the skill, expertise and care that has been evident in the process and product of the work that your workers have demonstrated. You and your company continue to be truly outstanding. THANKS!!!I am the pickiest person I know, and I HIGHLY recommend Gelderman Landscape Services. Their work here has been stellar, and they continue to stand behind their work and their word long after the project is done!!!! Thank you, Harry, Tristan and Louis! OUTSTANDING JOB!GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

It's been a little over 5yrs since the team at Gelderman concluded construction on our dream backyard. We still love it every bit as much as the day it was completed. Jason Felker was an amazing Site Supervisor and kept the project running smoothly and efficiently throughout. Furthermore, when the project was completed, Chris Mace and Gelderman stood by their warranty on any items that needed attention.Truly a 5-Star contractor and experience. Highly recommended.

Incredibly happy, very professional and easy to work with.Zero complaints, honestly. Not only does the end result look awesome, but the entire process was great from the sales experience through to the work being completed.During the job we had several neighbours comment on how nice the guys were, moving equipment when they needed to, saying hi, etc. Afterwards also a lot of “wow, they did an amazing job!”.For sales we had Chris, for project manager Phil and then the guys doing all the tough stuff: Darren, John, Tristan, Brad and Ben. All super nice dudes!It’s obviously a big investment (especially because we needed a new driveway too) so a little nervous at first but we could not be happier. Would definitely recommend to anyone who asks.(As much as this probably sounds like a paid advertisement, we can assure you it is not – this was an easy 5-star review)

A special thank you to Chris Mace, Phil Watson, Greg Carpenter and Tristan Baxter. I’m very happy with the outcome of the landscaping. Greg was a star on this project; as the foreman, he was responsible for all the stonework. I found him to very professional, honest, incredibly hard working, intuitive, and if that’s not enough, he has a real sense for design.

Thank you to Suzanne and the Management team at Geldermans for your quick response and reliability! A big thank you to Nelson, Salomon and Julian. These three professionals did an amazing job at one of our properties! They were given short notice and in a pinch in this hot, humid weather and throughout a heavy down pour of rain came out and completed a job that was much bigger than probably anticipated. The property looks great and the time frame it was completed in was excellent.We would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for professional services and quality work. A company we can depend on!

Our yards look fantastic !!!I am extremely impressed with the job that Mark and his team at Gelderman Landscaping did on our property !! They were very responsive with getting back to us with a quote, and were finished promptly when they said they would be. The work was done during some of the hottest weather this summer and their crew plowed through without hesitation. We have many mature trees on the property and much care was taken with not hurting the roots while edging the garden beds.Thanks for the amazing job Kay and Luka :-)Bret & Kerry
