About Western Landscaping Kingston

As a young entrepreneur from Westland in the Western part of the Netherlands, Jan van den Engel began his career as an enthusiastic horticulturist in the green houses. Immigrating to Canada in the 1950's, Jan begun a part time career in the landscaping business which later led on to what is now known as Western Landscaping Kingston (founded by Jan and Trudy van den Engel in 1975). With more than just a handful of customers, Jan and Trudy saw the need to expand their operations; so they relocated to Elginburg, Ontario a prime location promising something greater. By 1990, the partnership led to a limited company, van den Engel and son ltd operating as Western Landscaping Kingston.

We, at Western Landscaping Kingston, are proud to be a family oriented business with a history of growth and success.
