Why True North

Built on service. Driven by quality.

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

We show up.

A fixed visit day for lawn work and an automatic 5 cm trigger for snow. You never have to chase a crew or wonder if you are 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.

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 a 48 hours window to tell us if a visit missed the mark. We come back and fix it.

What neighbours say

Word travels fast on a well-kept street.

First winter with a snow contract and I never once had to think about it. The driveway was done before I left for work, and the walkway was actually shovelled, not just plowed past.
MLMarc-André L.Aylmer · Snow & ice
Our lawn was mostly dandelions in May. By August the neighbours were asking who does it. Same crew, same day every week, and they close the gate behind them.
JPJennifer P.Kanata · Lawn care
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
We couldn't sit on the deck after 7 pm in June. After the treatments started we're out there every night. They text before each visit so nothing is a surprise.
SRSophie R.Gatineau · Mosquito control
Fall cleanup, gutters and Christmas lights from one crew. The lights went up in November, one strand went out in December and it was fixed within two days.
RMRyan & Melissa K.Barrhaven · Fall & lights
Replies fast, shows up when they say they will, and the work is neat. That's rarer than it should be. We're on the year-round program next season.
