Why True North

Built on service. Driven by quality.

It's on the truck and it's on every quote. Here's what it actually means for you.

We show up.

A set schedule for lawn work and an automatic 5 cm trigger for snow. You never have to chase a crew or wonder if you're on the list.

Clear quotes, no surprises.

A written price before any work starts, valid for 30 days. What we quote is what you pay, unless the job changes and you approve the change first.

One crew, every season.

Lawn, bugs, leaves, snow and lights from the same people who already know your property.

Insured and accountable.

Liability insurance with a certificate on request, and 48 hours to tell us if a visit missed the mark. We come back and fix it.

What clients can expect

The kind of feedback we work for.

Sample
First winter with a snow contract and I never once had to think about it. It snowed, they came, and the driveway and walkway were done properly every time.
MLMarc-André L.Aylmer · Snow & ice
Sample
Our lawn was mostly dandelions in May. By August the neighbours were asking who does it. Same crew every visit, and they close the gate behind them.
JPJennifer P.Kanata · Lawn care
Sample
They redid our front bed with a stone edge, new plantings and lighting. The quote was clear, the price didn't move, and the cleanup afterwards was spotless.
DTDavid T.Orléans · Landscaping
Sample
We couldn't sit on the deck after 7 pm in June. After the treatments started we're out there every night. Easy to book and easy to reach.
SRSophie R.Gatineau · Mosquito control
Sample
Fall cleanup and gutters from one crew, quoted up front and done in two visits. Exactly the kind of simple we wanted.
RMRyan & Melissa K.Barrhaven · Fall cleanup
Sample
Replies fast, shows up when they say they will, and the work is neat. That's rarer than it should be.
