CAN YOU IMAGINE A STUNNING OUTDOOR SETTING, RIGHT IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD?

Our Design & Build Process

Imagine creating the property of your dreams. With Gelderman, you can sit back and enjoy the process of getting your beautiful landscape designed and built. We have a well-established process, and it’s all about you:

1. Landscape Consultation

Do you have a vision for your property but don’t know where to begin? The landscape design specialists at Gelderman will work with you to turn your vision into a reality.

Once we know more about your landscape aspirations, we will arrange a consultation to determine your needs, objectives, and assess your property to discuss your landscape ideas.

2. Landscape Design

After the initial consultation, we will develop a few different concept designs and let you select the one that aligns with your vision. During this time, we will also discuss a rough budget to work within.

3. Landscape Quote

Once we have finalized a concept, we will select all the materials and develop a planting design together. The final design is developed in 3D CAD modelling to give you a detailed and highly-realistic idea of what the finished landscape will look like. At this point we will provide you with an estimate and, with your approval, we will schedule your project.

4. Landscape Build

At this stage of the process, your landscape design becomes a reality. We will take care of all the final details, relevant permits, and scheduling.

During the landscape build, you will be able to sit back and see your project unfold. As part of our Red Carpet Care, we will make sure to minimize any disruption as much as possible.

5. Regular Communication

Throughout the whole design and build process of your landscape project, we will be sure to maintain regular contact with you. Your project manager will communicate with you during the project about the milestones and will provide progress updates.

6. Final Inspection

Upon completion of your landscaping project, we will take a tour with you and identify the final items needing attention. Our process ensures we finish as scheduled, including the completion of the final items. As we wrap-up your project, we will review your final invoice and warranty details.

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.

Big thanks to Clarke, Christine, Michael, Maria, Sean, Ireland, Derek and Nikita for the amazing dedication to making our facilities look Incredible!

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!

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

Milenia was also very professional and kind in post project details. This was our first landscaping project but we will definitely use them again. Thanks so much. Elaine and Joe H

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)
