About Us
Our Story
Peter Hughes started from humble beginnings in 1973. With just an old Chevy, a borrowed trailer, and his father’s lawnmower, Peter maintained yards throughout the summer for family, friends, and neighbors. Peter is proud to say that he continues to execute the same family-oriented approach to his business today.
As the landscaping industry progressed, so did Peter Hughes Landscape, which enabled the company to expand from professional residential landscape maintenance to both residential and commercial landscape construction and snow removal. Peter Hughes’ expertise and passion for unique landscape construction has earned the company an award-winning status and a vast client portfolio.
Our Process
We all share the same passion and energy for the work that’s being done. Our team is unified under the same vision to reach our potential. Through that, we understand that every job is an opportunity for us to live out our values. Every job allows us to grow, be engaged, work as a team, and provide exceptional service. When our purpose for completing a job is clear, there’s no problem that we can’t solve
From initial consultation to final inspection, we keep our client’s best interests top of mind. At the start of every project, our project foreman conducts a hazard assessment, followed by a thorough safety, management and protocol meeting with all on-site staff. At this point, all proper PPE will be assured and only then will work commence. The foreman works closely with our site crew to log all information required to keep the project moving and on track. Upon completion of the project, a comprehensive inspection is conducted by the foreman and only then is work deemed completed to our standards.
Our clients are fully disclosed of all progress and procedures throughout the lifecycle of the project. A full client walk through is conducted at the project’s end and only when our clients are fully satisfied, does our crew move on from the job site.
To ensure quality control, every one of our employees are extensively trained in lawn maintenance, and snow and ice management at the start of every season. On-going training is held throughout the year with a strong emphasis on health, safety and quality control. Similarly, we ensure our partners and sub-tradesman are held to the same standards of excellence and we stand accountable to their quality control.
In the past 20 years, we have proudly supported a number of landscaping students who went on to graduate from the Olds College Landscape Gardener Apprenticeship Program.
