Committed To A Clean Environment
At John Dick Landscaping, the safety of our team members, customers and suppliers is our number one priority. With the outbreak of COVID-19 we have taken precautionary steps to help reduce the risk of spreading this virus. With the assistance and guidance from medical and government professionals we are closely monitoring the situation and support everyone regarding this serious concern.
It is our intent to remain open for business and to safely perform the work that you have hired us to complete.
To keep our team members, customers and suppliers safe and to limit the spread of the COVID-19 we have adopted the following procedures:
- Restrict close contact visits with all whenever possible.
- Encourage our staff, customers and suppliers to practice social distance, proper hand washing and cough etiquette.
- Increased cleaning within our office, shop spaces and vehicles.
- Employee holidays have been delayed as possible. 14-day self-quarantine rules implemented for staff returning from holidays and those experiencing flu symptoms.
- Supporting our team members to access government financial aid during required quarantine and slow periods of work as result of COVID-19.
Our priority is to maintain the health and well being of all. Our precautions and procedures will naturally evolve as we are guided by The Government of Canada, the Public Health Agency of Canada, the provincial Government and other authorities during this crisis.
Our thoughts are with all those that have or will be impacted by this virus. We are committed to our clients and plan to safely complete the essential services of property maintenance or the landscaping project you have hired us to perform. We trust that the precautions that we have in place in addition to everyone’s individual safe effort will allow us to continue service during this difficult time.

Environmental Responsibility
"My brother Doug Dick joined us in 2015 bringing 13 years of experience working in an industry that focused on protecting our environment. As a leader within our team he reinforces our commitment to do the same every day.
A contractors responsibility to a clean environment goes beyond re using office paper and having a recycling bin ready at all times.
As a leader in our industry we recognise our obligation to use less and reduce emissions at the turn of every key.
At the completion of every project we leave a city street cleaner than when we arrived. No residue from a landscape contractors work should wash into city catch basins.
I am grateful that our success over 20+ years allows us to focus more on important issues like efficiency, recycling and environmental protection"

Green Fleet Vehicles
John and Doug work together to schedule service intervals on mid size to heavy trucks to minimize emissions and maximize efficiency. Weekly service intervals on our grass cutting equipment reduces down time and supports equipment running at an optimal level of performance.
The installation of a fleet wide GPS tracking system allows us to prevent unnecessary idle time and identify equipment that requires a tune up based on fuel use.
Naturally It makes sense to add eco vehicles to our fleet for estimates and small deliveries to job sites. We are using the savings in fuel costs to increase wages and purchase newer more efficient tools and equipment for our crews.
Recycling
We pride ourselves on separating all materials for recycling and re use on every job site including
- Saving all reusable Lawn and brick edging including the spikes to secure them.
- Composting excess Soil, sod, grass clippings, mud and sand left over or removed from jobsites.
- Tree branches and non pressure treated lumber is shredded into mulch.
- Large sections of trees are cut and stacked for back yard fire pits and wood stoves.
- Waste brick, patio blocks and concrete is crushed for creating new driveways and parking pads.
- Steel rebar from old concrete is cut to size first for re use or recycled for new raw steel.
- Old walkway blocks and interlocking stone products are cleaned and reused.
- Material packaging including cardboard and wood pallets are re purposed at our shop.
Waste Disposal
At the end of every job, material that cannot be recycled is taken to a disposal site that is approved by The City of Winnipeg and the Province of Manitoba.
