Landscape Design for Small Spaces

Think Big with Small Space Landscaping Solutions

Do you want to improve your curb appeal, but feel your space is too small? Are you finding it difficult to enjoy your outdoor space and worry that you can’t improve it due to limited space? Don’t let a small yard hold you back from creating a beautiful and functional outdoor living space. At Gelderman Landscape Services, we specialize in landscape design for small spaces, and can turn limited areas into stunning retreats. Discover our innovative and practical solutions tailored to suit your small yard.

Expertly Crafted Small Space Landscaping Plans

We understand that landscaping a small space requires a unique approach. Our team will work closely with you to create a design that maximizes your outdoor area, without sacrificing functionality or aesthetics. There are plenty of eye-catching ways to enhance even the smallest outdoor spaces.

Multi-Level Outdoor Space

Reach New Heights in Your Small Yard

Does your small yard feel cramped and limiting when it comes to landscaping options? You might feel discouraged, thinking that your dream outdoor space is unattainable due to a lack of space. Gelderman Landscape Service will bring your dream to life.

By implementing a multi-level design, we can help you maximize your available outdoor area and create a visually attractive and functional space that defies size constraints.

Plunge Pools

Make a Big Splash in Your Small Space

Do you want a pool for your small backyard, but feel constrained by the lack of space? You might find yourself longing for the refreshing and relaxing qualities a pool can offer, yet frustrated by the perceived impracticality in your compact yard.

With a plunge pool, we can provide you with the luxury of a pool in a size that’s perfectly suited for your small outdoor space. These smaller, shallower pools allow you to cool off, relax, and even exercise without needing the space that traditional pools demand. Now, even with a small yard, you can enjoy the soothing benefits of having your own pool.

Gardens

A Serene Touch in Limited Areas

Do you feel like your small yard is incompatible with lush, vibrant gardens? Limited space might make you feel restricted, thinking you must sacrifice greenery and colour in your landscape.

By employing space-saving techniques such as vertical planting and container gardening, we can create beautiful, compact gardens that breathe life into small spaces, without consuming the entire area.

Lighting Solutions

Create a Welcoming Ambiance

Does your small outdoor space feel dark and uninviting? This can discourage you from fully enjoying your yard, rendering it underutilized and unappealing. Gelderman Landscape Services is here to brighten up your space.

By incorporating custom lighting solutions, we can help you highlight the best features of your landscape, create depth, and establish a warm, welcoming atmosphere that transforms your small outdoor space into an enticing sanctuary.

Hanging Furniture

Comfort From Above

Do you find furnishing your small outdoor area a challenge, as traditional furniture can take up precious space? If you’re feeling frustrated and unable to comfortably relax and entertain in your own backyard, the team at Gelderman Landscape Services has the solution.

Introducing hanging furniture like hammocks, hanging chairs, and suspended tables. These creative options will provide you with unique and space-saving solutions, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor space to the fullest.

Gelderman Landscape Services are our Landscape providers and Winter and Summer maintenance providers. We are a 93 unit townhouse complex in south Burlington and we are currently over hauling all of our landscaping, to deliver a sustainable, drought tolerant and pollinater environment .This season, Gelderman did additional landscaping at our complex including planting of additional plants, trees and installing new pathways, steps and creating soil retention barriers with anchor stone.All of the work was done quickly, professionally and in a tidy manner. The crew lead by John B. was Darren, Scott, Kent and Dan. You could not ask for a better team, or company.5 star service all around!Judy Boudreau, member of the Board of Directors

I'm updating a review and rewriting it for Gelderman for the second time for services delivered. In 2022, I wrote a 5* review for this company as it was our first business interaction with them. At that time, the team of James, Jared, Elpidio and Mark showcased the full professionalism and services that warrant a perfect rating.This year, in 2023, we were pleased to not only bring Gelderman back, but see a familiar face in James, that had now become a team lead (congratulations)! The continuation of team members gave comfort as they knew exactly what we were looking for from our business side. Needless to say, the team of James, Clark, Kurt and Keith continued to carry the Gelderman banner strong, as they wasted no time getting to work and performing their roles with detail and diligence. They once again, worked around our business needs and showcased that our business needs are also reflected in their efforts and care!We look forward to expanding our services with Gelderman as their operations and on site staff make it easy to book and deliver results!Well Done!Taras StrusHamilton Parking Private

This company knows how to deliver customer service! Communication with our contacts, Suzanne and Mark, is easy and responses are prompt (so awesome!). After just one visit, Maria, Sean & Ireland have made our complex look 100 times better already! Kudos Gelderman! You know how to choose your employees and they are clearly happy to work for you!

Great service rec'd at our commercial property - thanks to Suzanne for coordinating a clean up project we requested.- but 5 stars for the crew, Alex, Jamal, Kurt and Christian! The team went over and above our expectations - the property looks much better since they completed the project. Thanks to all from Watts Water/Burlington.

We are extremely happy with the results of the landscaping to both our front and backyard. John was extremely professional and responded quickly to any questions we had. His crew of Scott and Kent were just as professional and worked very efficiently. At the end of each day they cleaned up the site so no messes were left behind. They were all very courteous to work with and made great suggestions along the way so the end result was better than expected. Nothing but compliments from all the neighbours. We would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Gelderman provided excellent service with stripping, installing topsoil and laying down sod in our backyard. Chris and Milena answered all our questions and provided a quote back in October 2022. We booked the job for mid-May 2023. Phil took care of all the details and even worked directly with another company that installed our deck. Darren, Jon and Rene executed the plans flawlessly with all work done within a couple of days. We are extremely pleased with the end results and will be using Gelderman for any future projects!

We had a great experience working with Gelderman on the landscaping of our front and back yard area. Everyone involved in the process was friendly, professional and responsive to questions/concerns. The landscape design process, yard prep, irrigation, lighting and planting work was well planned and executed. Special thanks to Chris, Phil, Tristan and Greg.

Gelderman Landscape services took our dreams and made it a reality in two short months. Our complete redo of the backyard was done on time and in time for our family to enjoy for the summer! Their attention to every detail, the professionalism of the daily crew (Jon S, Darren, Rene, Kay, & Tristan) who became part of our family, and the over site and planning by Chris and Phil was essential for timely and professional deployment and completion. Thanks for all the hard work and for the red carpet treatment all the way through!

Gelderman Landscape Services turned our boring, old, rundown backyard into our personal oasis. From the initial meeting and estimate with Chris to final completion everyone we interacted with was professional and accommodating - including all my questions and my multiple last minute scope changes and additions! Phil, Darren, Brad and Cody (and their many subcontractors) worked non-stop in the summer heat to complete the project, and made it all feel seamless. We always felt informed about what was happening and what was next. Thanks, guys, for an amazing experience and an incredible final product!

We engaged the team at Gelderman most recently to complete a backyard renovation. From the initial design to the completed work, they have been great. The crew working on our backyard, Shawn, Jason and Misael, as well as PM Dave, did a phenomenal job bringing the design to life. The team was always available to answer questions throughout the process and ensured a clean and safe worksite, which was appreciated by us as well as our neighbours. We would not hesitate to recommend the team!

As a Gelderman employee in their maintenance division, I am so pleased to have joined such a supportive and encouraging company this summer. Gelderman has a culture of innovation and openness, which makes it easier to be creative and try new things. Between competitive pay, accommodating management and a great work/life balance, my experience so far with Gelderman has been completely positive. Mike Rennie at the Waterloo location has been a truly amazing boss, consistently taking the time to teach myself as well as other employees. Working with him and the rest of his crew has been nothing but rewarding. I highly recommend their services to customers needing lawn care or future employees looking for an incredible work environment with great people!

We hired Gelderman to change our front lawn. The entire project from the design stage to the excavation, the relocation of our Japanese maple, the paving stone sidewalk and front walk were done with expertise and professionalism. The team of Chis, Phil, Darren, John and Rene was simply perfect. A great, hard working team followed up at the end with plantings and trimming by Tristan and Kay. They left the front yard looking picture perfect like it belonged on a magazine cover. Great team. I highly recommend them.

Very appreciative of the work done at our condominium complex by Will and his crew and Mike who has overseen the maintenance. Even though it is a large area they don't rush through it and we are appreciative of the appearance when they are finished. They have been very receptive to any concerns that we have raised. Polite and professional.

Amazing service. We had them come out to plant a flowering dogwood for us. They went above and beyond- even helping to fix some landscaping stone and mulch trees they didn’t plant. Super nice and knowledgeable staff. Would 100% recommend and use their services again.

UPDATE: MAY 31, 2023We have had Gelderman for our business landscaping for our Burlington location, and our upcoming Mississauga location. This company goes above and beyond to make your property look beautiful, and the best on the block!This year we had to have some sod replaced due to city plows damaging some of our landscape, and the team we had, Shane, Scott, Kent, and Ethan were absolutely fabulous! Mark & Suzanne have been fantastic to work with and are truly the most nurturing, supportive, caring, and patient role models for these crews that are sent out in all elements and give 150% always.We can't thank you enough for providing us with such professionalism, care for our landscape, and making the outside of our business look stunning!Thank you from Matt, Michelle, Adine, Kathleen, Mar, & Keith from UltraStor on Palladium Way in Burlington.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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.

Jay (Jason F) & his crew (Arturo, Kent, Darren & others) who worked on our backyard were exceptional. They were very attentive to our wants and preferences. Communications between us and all levels of Gelderman Landscape Services was straightforward & easy (from Harry G.'s design to Jay's work crews, 3rd party subcontractors, through to Dave and Tristan). Everyone showed great work ethic and attention to detail. They were on time and our neighbours complimented how they cleaned up all work areas at the end of each day. The updates to our backyard include new fences on 2 sides, new back deck & side deck, new patio, new tree plantings, leveled the grade and put in a retaining wall at the back of the property, 2 new garden beds and precast concrete block border along existing side garden, Excellent work. Thank you very much for our new backyard Gelderman Landscape Services!!!

They did great work. We get so many compliments when people walk by. A little behind schedule but that was due to the weather, couldn’t be helped. They were flexible with our needs and went over and above to make our walkway, gardens and porch look amazing. Maybe not the cheapest, but very professional. Would highly recommend them.

I live in the 141 woodside buildings and the landscapers came and did an amazing job, there was a young man named hudson who was a great help, he weeded in-between my patio stones which was awesome because I was tired of looking at the weeds and it only took him seconds! So I had to come out and thank him for putting effort into the small details :)

From the start, we began with winter operations and we were pleased with the professional approach to managing the site. The Gelderman Team listened carefully as we detailed the site expectations for the pending winter and their Team made every effort to insure safe and timely snow clearing was completed and documented with digital images, timelines and descriptions of all work performed and recommendations on snow removal.

Gelderman does it again! After our massive backyard renovations last year we had a couple of plants that did not love their locations due to sun and heat exposure. Gelderman came right in, assessed and without hesitation our project manager Dave said, "We got you". The work was completed today and we're thrilled to be able to watch our gardens grow again this year. Tristan, Kay and Calan came in and knocked it out. They were courteous, educational, efficient and most impressively clean for such a dirty job. Always protecting the hardscape, after they left you'd swear no one was in the yard let alone planting 30+ new trees, shrubs and perennials. If you're thinking of giving Gelderman a call, DO IT! You will not regret it!

Jeff Thomas

22:43 11 May 23

Gelderman sent an AMAZING crew to do a spring cleanup on our property. Sarah, Molly, Christine, and Ireland exceeded our expectations for the amount of work there was to do. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Gelderman Landscaping Services to anyone!

I just wanted to quickly write a review and thank you. I am not currently a Gelderman customer, but I will be when I require your services. The purpose of my review is to THANK YOU for sharing the road with cyclists. Last night, I was passed by not 1, not 2, but 3 of your trucks. Each of them moved over, gave plenty of room and shared the road. The last truck even waited until they made it to the top of the hill before passing so that they could see if there was any oncoming cars. This is uncommon for landscaping companies. I have experienced many close calls - specifically with landscaping companies in the area. Thank you Gelderman - Super impressed. - I even caught all 3 passes on my front and read cycling cameras.

I called last week and spoke to Melenia, I believe her name was.My husband and I are looking to redo the backyard. The woman on the phone was very knowledgeable and was able to give me quite a few options and a few good points to consider. There were some aspects we hadn't considered that she pointed out to us. Very thankful for her knowledge. Definitely will be considering Gelderman when we are ready to start the renovations.Thanks

We used Gelderman to design a new backyard and had an excellent experience from consultation and design through to installation and follow up. Chris Mace provided sage advice in determining how to best realize our vision and helped select appropriate materials and plants. Installation was by Justin and his crew, who were tremendous to work with, especially Amanda, being patient and flexible as last minute changes were considered. Some unforeseeable post-installation problems were quickly and graciously resolved by Chris, Harry and Phil and team and we're looking forward to enjoying our first full spring and summer in our new oasis. We unequivocally recommend Gelderman Landscape Services as your best choice for gardening/landscaping projects.

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.

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.

George Kempff

20:08 02 Feb 23

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 are very happy with our Gelderman experience in adding a new front walkway, resurfacing our porch and new steps to the backyard.
