A Touch of Dutch Landscaping & Garden Services provides landscape design, installation, and maintenance services in Stratford, Ontario and surrounding area. Founder Johan Bossers grew up in Holland, where horticulture isn’t just a way to make a living, but a way of life. In 1981, after receiving extensive training, Johan moved to Canada, where he met his wife, Ann.

In the spring of 1985, Johan began offering landscaping services as a solopreneur, and A Touch of Dutch was born. Since then, the business has grown substantially, with more than 15 full-time staff in the high season which allowing Johan and his team to serve a greater number of customers in a larger region.

Today, A Touch of Dutch offers a multitude of complementary lawn and garden services that allow crews to provide customers with both tailor-made solutions to landscaping woes and one-of-a-kind outdoor living spaces that are both beautiful and functional.

Crew members enjoy physical but satisfying work as part of a team in the beautiful outdoors. Every season has its challenges – and they are typically weather-related, in this industry – but staff members are given the gear and equipment to overcome these challenges and ensure project results that will exceed our customers’ expectations.

Current services include:

• Residential and commercial lawn and garden maintenance
• Commercial lawn and garden maintenance
• Softscaping – our landscaping staff incorporates plants, trees, and shrubs into a garden design, and adds sod and seed where appropriate
• Hardscaping – our installation team uses natural stone and precast products to create sidewalks, pathways, retaining walls, and water features
• Landscape design – our professional design team creates a concept that reimagines your outdoor space, making it more usable and more enjoyable
