THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA This coming spring, Paramount Landscaping is set to celebrate their 20th anniversary. Almost 20 years, the company now employs a team of approximately 100 people. Geographically, they venture throughout the Greater Toronto Area, and they work on a variety of residential, commercial, and industrial properties. On the landscape design and construction side of their business, they work with a lot of individual homeowners, helping them to achieve the yards of their dreams. On the property maintenance side, they mainly work with property managers, and they have built relationships with many of those clients that have lasted over 10 years. “Our clients keep coming back,” Jamie says. “Occasionally, they might disappear for a year because maybe somebody new comes along and they decide they want to go a little bit cheaper, but then a year goes by and they’re calling us up again.” Paramount’s other relationships tend to be just as loyal and longstanding. For example, Jamie says some in-house employees have been there “pretty much since conception.” A lot of those longstanding team members are on the sales floor, but even in the field Jamie says they work hard to keep people around. “We offer career-minded employees and associates opportunities to grow with us,” he explains. “We offer a great living wage for people that want a career, not just a job. We put a lot of time and effort into training our employees. And if they want to be successful and they show that dedication, then we’ll support them.”
