We would like to thank the Gelderman Landscape team for our lovely backyard patio and seating area. The care and attention to detail was excellent and the team of Darren, Seth, Christian and Jay were an absolute pleasure to work with.

Everyone at Gelderman was a joy to work with! We wanted a brick stone border put around our backyard garden bed (45 x 6 feet). John was very responsive and worked around my schedule to come give us a quote. Corey, Seth, and Jason were awesome doing the work. They were so neat, quiet, and clean! The work looks beautiful and it’s as if they were never there, it fits seamlessly in with our garden bed. We’re so happy!

We can’t say thank you enough to Suzanne and Adam for their prompt assistance in rectifying the problem with our downspout damage. They were here and made the necessary repairs immediately! Also the team of Michael, Maria and Thomas in our weekly grass maintenance is amazing. They go above and beyond what needs to be done. What an amazing group of individuals!

Gelderman Landscaping Services, has been supporting our new L3 Harris (Wescam) location in Waterdown for the past 3 years. We have developed a strong working relationship in maintaining this property.We had previously partnered with the "Highway of Heroes" tree campaign, to create a living tree memorial on the property. Gelderman's team of Jason, Darren, Kurt, Seth and Cory just completed the finishing touches by installing concrete pads with benches that were donated by our employee's to enjoy for years to come. Great Job and your hard work is very much appreciated!

I'm updating a review and rewriting it for Gelderman for the third time for services delivered. In 2022 &2023, I wrote 5* reviews for this company. The team members at that time were:2022: James, Jared, Elpidio and Mark2023: James, Clark, Kurt & KeithThis year, in 2024, we were pleased to not only bring Gelderman back, but see a familiar face in James, for a third consecutive year. Having him back as team lead gave comfort as they knew exactly what we were looking for from our business side. Needless to say, the team of James, Hamza & Ireland 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 once again recommend Gelderman with a 5* review as their operations and on site staff make it easy to book and deliver results!Well Done!Taras StrusHamilton Parking Private

Our Gelderman team was Owen ( sales) and Colby, Mike and Ethan ( the landscape magicians on site). The landscape team provided a French drain install, full grading with additional dirt added and sod. Our backyard went from a horrible eyesore with awful drainage problems and massive gaps between old “grass” and bottom of fence (where skunks routinely got in) to the beginnings of a wonderful backyard paradise that we are looking forward to expanding upon! We are very, very happy with the end result! If anyone needs to get out and “touch some grass” we will recommend our back yard! The experience with Gelderman was really great from start to finish and fast! All the team members were wonderful to work with. They were easy to talk to on site and provided knowledgable advice that we trust. We will definitely be utilizing their expertise for our next projects in the coming years!

By the end of April our garden was out of control and getting us down. Gelderman to the rescue! Phil and Milena were quick to respond when we reached out for a quote and within a week we had Tristan and Kay attacking our messy, weedy, overgrown garden beds. What a difference they’ve already made! Our garden has never looked better, and I really love spending time outside in the garden now without it feeling like there’s a heavy to do list in front of me. The Gelderman team is a pleasure to deal with.

Thanks to Phil, Greg and Cole who did a great job!May 6, 2024 - Another successful Gelderman job. Planting 3 new Blue Spruce Trees, 5 new dogwoods and repairing some interlocking.
