We are Kimmick Landscaping.

Kimmick Landscaping started in 1988 when Michael Martins graduated from university.  But in reality, the story of Kimmick begins even earlier, when Michael was a young boy. While his school friends were scraping together dollars to fund their summer holidays, a twelve-year-old Michael decided a more entrepreneurial approach was needed. He began by knocking on doors and offering to shovel snow from his neighbours' driveways in the winter. When spring came around, he'd knock again and offer to mow their lawns. His first colleague was his sister, Kim, and together they settled on the name Kimmick Landscaping - a portmanteau of "Kim" and "Mike" – which has remained ever since.

Then Michael set his sights higher. Taking pride in his work, he taught himself new skills – learning how to weed and spray lawns and developing a keen interest in horticulture. He knocked on more doors, he took on a wider variety of tasks and he would travel further afield, committed to expanding his knowledge and his reputation.

“The core values of Kimmick Landscaping have never changed - the dedication to providing professional service to the highest quality and the ability to take pride in our work”

— Michael Martins

His business and experience grew over the years and, while attending University of Western Ontario, he continued to operate his business part-time to help fund his education and to pursue his passion. Upon graduation, he incorporated and expanded the business he had nurtured since childhood and chose to make landscaping his career.

As time has progressed, Kimmick Landscaping has evolved into a highly professional, knowledgeable and dedicated team that specializes not only in maintenance but in the design and installation of high-end landscapes for both residential and commercial customers.

What began as way for a twelve-year-old boy to make some extra pocket money has spent over 30 years transforming into a successful local business with a wealth of experience, but the key values of Kimmick Landscaping have never changed – a dedication to providing professional service of the highest quality and the ability to take pride in our work.
