About Us
Saskatoon Landscape & Garden Centre is a local, family-owned and operated business. Our goal is to provide exceptional service and high-quality products to both contractors and homeowners looking to build a brand-new landscape or improve an existing yard. We carry everything from bulk soils, mulches, and aggregates to brick and block, as well as trees, shrubs, perennials, and everything in between.
Our Story
Saskatoon Landscape & Garden Centre is owned by small-town Saskatchewan folk who have always shared a dream of building a business and working for themselves. We both grew up in small farming communities just west of Saskatoon, and it all started in 2005, when Lloyd started doing lawn care maintenance around his full-time job as a heavy-duty mechanic. That quickly escalated to underground irrigation installations and softscapes, and before long, he was transforming entire yards.
By 2007, landscape design and installation became full-time careers for both of us, all while we were raising our busy family of six. In 2011, the business took a new direction, and we opened our landscape supply division on 11th Street West — Saskatoon Landscape Store. A few years later, we moved across from the north Costco, where many of you first started shopping with us. With the increased visibility of that new location, a little help from the pandemic, and the incredible support of our customers and staff, we have grown a little more every single year!
Our biggest milestone yet came in February 2024, when we purchased Lakeshore Garden Centre on 7 Glazier Road and relocated our entire operations. With this massive expansion, we proudly rebranded to Saskatoon Landscape & Garden Centre. We were incredibly fortunate to be mentored by Lakeshore’s previous owners, Vic and Lee Krahn, who guided us through our very first growing season at the tree farm.
We didn’t stop there. In the winter of 2024, we built our own 22,000-square-foot commercial greenhouse. This state-of-the-art space allows us to do all our own growing, from stunning hanging baskets and planters to fresh veggies and bedding plants.
With the addition of the garden centre, our team has grown immensely. At our seasonal peak, we now employ around 60 incredible staff members. From our plant production crew and retail greenhouse staff to our dedicated yard crew and delivery drivers, it is heartwarming to know that so many of our team members return to us season after season.
While we were building the business, we were also building our family. We have four children: Brooklyn, Madison, Jacob, and Casey. Over the years, our family has been incredibly blessed to grow even bigger. We’ve welcomed significant others Jesse (Brooklyn) and Karson (Madison) into the fold, and most excitingly, we became grandparents to our first grandchild, Greyson! Brooklyn currently plays a hands-on role as one of our store managers, and Madi, Jacob, and Casey have all helped out in different capacities over the years and are exploring what adulthood has to offer.
If you visited us at our Thatcher location, you probably had the chance to meet Charlie, our chocolate lab, who held the official title of Morale Booster and CEO. Charlie passed away in April of 2026, but he still holds a valuable piece in the stepping stones of where we are today.
With our wonderful family, our phenomenal staff, and the continued support of customers like you, we are living our dream and growing every single day. Thank you for supporting our family-grown, locally owned business and the dream of two young adults who started just trying to figure life out.
