What Windsor Landscaping Community Means to Us at Plantscape
“Community” is a word that gets thrown around a lot in business. But at Plantscape, it’s not just part of our marketing — it’s part of our DNA. We’ve been shaping Windsor’s landscapes since 1976. But what matters is how those landscapes have shaped us — through the people we meet, the properties we transform, and the places we’ve watched grow alongside our team. Here’s what Windsor landscaping community truly means to us — and how it continues to guide everything we do.
Our Windsor Roots Run Deep
We’re not a franchise. We’re not a pop-up.
Plantscape was founded here, in Windsor-Essex, by family, for families. For nearly five decades, we’ve been creating outdoor spaces for homes, businesses, schools, and institutions across the region.
Many of our crew members are second-generation. Many of our clients are too.
🌳 We didn’t just start here — we grew here.
Landscapes That Grow With You
We’ve had the joy of:
- Landscaping newlyweds’ first homes
- Returning years later for backyard makeovers
- Planting trees that now shade grandchildren
- Enhancing businesses as they expand
- Maintaining condo communities that trust us year after year
Seeing it grow is the power of being part of a place.
Community Starts With Listening
Every great project begins with a question:
“What do you want this space to feel like?”
We listen. We adapt. We respect budgets, values, and goals.
Whether in South Windsor, Lakeshore, Chatham, or Sarnia — your community is unique. And we’re here to build landscapes that reflect that authentically.
It’s More Than Lawns and Patios
A great landscape doesn’t just look good — it becomes:
- A gathering place
- A quiet sanctuary
- A safe route for kids
- A calming break between buildings
- A pollinator haven
- A legacy
We’ve created spaces where marriages happen, kids play, and neighbours connect. That’s what matters.
Giving Back Through Green
We don’t just work in Windsor — we give back to it.
🌿 Donating plants and labour to local beautification projects
🌱 Helping community gardens and schools with planting
🌸 Supporting fundraisers through tree giveaways
🧤 Volunteering for clean-up events
🪴 Donating materials for classrooms and nature spaces
🧡 We believe landscaping can do more than improve a property — it can lift a neighbourhood.
Supporting Local Youth and Trades
We’re proud to:
- Offer co-op and apprenticeship placements
- Mentor high school and college students
- Promote trades through Landscape Ontario partnerships
- Provide off-season training and employment
Because our community’s future depends on who we invest in today.
The Tree Farm: A Gift to the Next Generation
Plantscape’s tree farm is more than a supply source — it’s a symbol.
We’re growing:
- Trees that will shade Windsor for decades
- A local supply chain
- A greener future for clients and our community
- Education opportunities around native species and sustainability
The roots we plant today are for tomorrow’s kids to climb.
Collaborating With Local Suppliers and Services
We believe in:
- Sourcing plants and materials locally
- Partnering with Windsor-based trades
- Supporting fellow small businesses
- Paying fair rates to good people
We don’t outsource. We build with and for the people right here.
Hiring Local, Training Local, Leading Local
Our team lives here. Works here. Trains here. Grows here.
We’re proud to:
- Offer year-round employment
- Create leadership pathways
- Develop a sense of ownership and pride
- Promote from within
👷 Our team isn’t just staff — they’re our neighbours.
Celebrating Client Relationships That Last
Some of our favourite stories:
- Clients who ask for the same crew every spring
- Families who refer us to their friends without hesitation
- Businesses who’ve used us through 10+ years of growth
- Young couples who become return clients as their families grow
Those relationships? That’s community.
