More than a Vendor: Strathmore can Help you Meet your Strategic Goals

For many commercial property owners and managers, landscaping is treated as a line item, a checkbox on a maintenance list, often outsourced to vendors focused only on short-term tasks.

But what if your landscaping partner could help you hit bigger goals? Attract and retain tenants. Meet evolving sustainability requirements. Strengthen community connections. Enhance long-term asset value.

At Strathmore, we go beyond vendor relationships. We become a strategic partner aligned with your goals, responsive to your evolving needs, and capable of delivering meaningful, measurable value.

Through proactive planning, transparent communication, and future-focused solutions, we help our clients grow sustainably and confidently.

Because when you work with a Dynamic Partner, success is shared and so is the strategy to achieve it. This is why our focus on partnership is a major pillar of the Strathmore Standard.

Strengthening Communities: Sustainability and Inclusion in Action

Strathmore is committed to being more than a service provider. We’re an active contributor to the health, equity, and sustainability of the communities we serve.

Here’s what sets this pillar of the Strathmore Standard apart:

Building Sustainable, Resilient Landscapes

We specialize in biodiversity-focused projects like pollinator gardens and edible landscaping that enhance urban ecosystems and support declining species such as bees and butterflies. These spaces don’t just look beautiful, they function as part of a healthier, more sustainable urban fabric.

A Greener Future

Strathmore is actively working toward being emissions-free by 2050, modernizing our fleet and practices along the way. From electric equipment to efficient routing and eco-friendly materials, we continually refine our operations to minimize environmental impact.

Diversity & Inclusive Hiring

As a woman-led, family-owned business, we’re committed to creating an inclusive, supportive workplace. Women make up 25% of our workforce, far surpassing the industry average of just 8%. We also provide training, mentorship, and advancement opportunities for underrepresented groups in skilled trades.

Community Investment & Local Partnerships

We work with municipalities, schools, nonprofits, and industry associations to support green infrastructure projects, train the next generation of landscape professionals, and contribute to thriving, connected communities. Our role extends beyond the job site and into the neighbourhoods where we operate.

Why It Matters

Today’s property managers are under increasing pressure to do more with less: to improve tenant satisfaction, meet ESG targets, ensure compliance, and maintain beautiful, functional spaces that attract business and foster community.

Having a partner who can help you think and plan long-term isn’t just helpful, it’s essential.

Strathmore brings the scale, experience, and insight to support our clients as they navigate complex goals, whether it's LEED certification, public engagement, or reducing operational emissions.

A Strategic Approach That Delivers

We don’t just respond to work orders, we anticipate your needs, align with your goals, and provide solutions that deliver lasting value. As a strategic partner, we understand that your grounds are your first and last impression, so we want to help you make it count, while ensuring your investment pays dividends.

Scalable solutions for national portfolios With operations across Canada’s major commercial centres, we deliver consistent service at scale with localized expertise tailored to each site’s needs.
Long-term planning and asset care From multi-year landscaping improvements to preventative maintenance plans, we help our clients maximize the value and lifespan of their properties.
Streamlined communication With dedicated account managers and responsive site supervisors, we make it easy to stay informed, solve issues quickly, and plan proactively.
Alignment with ESG goals Our practices — from electric fleets to inclusive hiring — support the broader sustainability, equity, and community engagement targets of our clients. In fact, our sustainability efforts can have a direct impact on your facility’s carbon footprint.
