The women that work in construction are daughters, mothers, wives, sisters, grandmothers. It’s a demanding rewarding job working in the construction industry. I always worried about work life balance being a mother in this industry...how would I ever do it, the long hours, the physical demand of the job? Somehow I have found a way. I want other women considering a career in the trades to know that it is possible, to do it all! My mom did it and now I’m doing it!

Our business grew from a dream and a passion of gardening. My grandfather was really great at what he did, a talent for pruning, flower planting and maintaining gardens and giving homes a beautiful outdoor presence. At a young age I spent the summers with my Opa working along side him learning the ropes. At the time I never knew the value that would come out of those summers. I am so grateful and thankful for those summers and years I spent working along side him. As our business shifts during this pandemic I look back on where Western Landscape came from, all the paths taken, the paths broken, and obstacles along the way. I know that we will be here to serve our valued clients and community when this is done...because the dream still remains as strong as it was over 45 years ago! #history #roots #gardening #landscaping #3rdgeneration

When it comes to business join an organization that brings like minded people in your industry together. @landscapeontario has done just that for me. These are my peers in the industry, who I look up to, who I connect with, who I learn with and learn from! I think its so important in any industry to surround yourself with people who are after the same things and the same results! Learn. Grow. Inspire. Create. #landscapelife #trades #hardscape #landscaper

Happy Monday Landscape Fam! A little poolside post after a weekend of crazy up and down weather! #poolside #planter #summer #landscaper
