Treo Property Management & Landscaping Services

Garden planting

We are Alex and Tyler, the family behind Treo. Our Halifax-area property service grew from a simple idea: customers should be able to call one reliable local team for the outdoor work that keeps a home or business looking cared for. We mow, weed, prune, mulch, clean up, plant, seed and complete small stone projects with clear communication from start to finish. Need a one-time reset or recurring help? We’ll look at the property, talk through the priorities and build a sensible scope. No mystery, no bloated package—just useful work, done well. 👍

Make the first conversation count

  1. 01

    Photograph and measure the site

    Take wide and close-up photos, note the main dimensions and slopes, and show gates, parking, steps, drains, and anything the crew must protect.

  2. 02

    Decide what stays and what goes

    Mark plants and structures to keep or remove. Note drainage, irrigation, lighting, permits, material preferences, and who should clear the waste.

  3. 03

    Ask for the same breakdown

    Have every company separate site preparation, materials and quantities, installation, cleanup, aftercare, and the expected completion window.
