Our story

Growing together since 2017

Rooted in a love of the work

Tandem began with a shared passion for landscaping and an appreciation for the knowledge, skill, and care behind a healthy landscape. Founded by Chelsea and Maks in 2017, the company grew from a hands-on approach and pride in doing the work well.
Working together has always been central to Tandem—between our owners, within our crews, and alongside our clients. Strong relationships help us understand what each property needs and make lasting improvements.
That same commitment continues to shape how we care for landscapes and support the people doing the work.

We love what we do! Landscaping has become a lifestyle and we couldn’t see it any other way.

Built around the properties we serve.

As Tandem grew, we saw how much property managers and strata councils benefit from a landscape team that understands both the grounds and the responsibilities involved in managing them.

Reliable maintenance is part of that support. Clear service reports, practical recommendations, and timely communication help clients follow the work and plan for what comes next.

Today, we focus on strata and commercial properties. Our maintenance programs, reporting, and crew training are built around the needs of shared landscapes and long-term client relationships.

Our goal is to build a company where clients can see the care behind the work and employees can build a career they are proud of.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been extremely impressed with the landscaping services provided for our three apartment buildings. The transformation of the grounds has been remarkable, creating attractive, welcoming outdoor spaces that residents truly appreciate. Their team carefully selects native plants and species well suited to the local climate and soil conditions, ensuring healthy, sustainable landscapes that thrive year after year. They are reliable, professional, and clearly take pride in the quality of their work. Communication has always been excellent, and every project has been completed with great attention to detail. We are very happy with the results and highly recommend their services.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Year 7 with Tandem for us. They are easy to work with, knowledgeable and proactive. Over the years they helped fix our hardscapes too. Now they care for our irrigation system as well. Very convenient to have one company to deal with.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot day enough great things about Maksym, Chelsea and the whole crew at Tandem Landscaping. The lawn in our backyard was turned into a mud pit by crows and raccoons and was a complete unsightly mess! Maksym was able to design and implement a thoughtful hardscape that took into consideration future potential landscaping needs as well as a style that we loved! We did not want any flowering plants in the flower bed which made life a little difficult for Chelsea but she really came through with design and plant choice that met our needs for  both limited upkeep while adding colour and vibrance! The timeline for the job had a wrench thrown in the middle of it because of covid-19 but Maksym was great about staying in touch and giving us updates. Everything from the initial consultation, budget and completion was more than we expected. We would 110% recommend Tandem Landscaping!
