Seasonal Work and Work-Life Balance

Landscaping jobs are generally weather-dependent. This means we typically start working outside early in the spring and stay busy until mid- to late-fall. The better the weather, the busier we are. However, we are committed to doing our part to maintain a happy and healthy team, which means striking a balance between time away from, and spent at, work. We are closed on Sundays and statutory holidays (except Victoria Day), and generally keep Saturday work to a minimum, and offer flexible scheduling where required.
