Canadian Property Stars

What Canadian Property Stars does

Canadian Property Stars Ltd. is a privately-held, founder-controlled Canadian property maintenance company headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario, operating since 1996 under successive brand names (Ultimate Lawns, Spring Masters, Canadian Property Stars). The company delivers a portfolio of seasonal residential services — core aeration, power raking/de-thatching, lawn rejuvenation, chafer beetle control, driveway sealing (SealStar and SealStar Plus), and pure-water exterior window cleaning — plus commercial asphalt services (parking lot sealing, crack routing, line painting, hot asphalt repair) in Southern Ontario through a 2022 partnership with Canadian Asphalt Maintenance.

The company's service delivery is built around proprietary mechanical equipment rather than software: a human-propelled driveway sealing cart designed in 2005, mobile de-ionization water filtration systems, and carbon-fibre telescopic water-fed poles. These reduce unit delivery costs and enable a transparent fixed lot-size pricing model sold through self-serve e-commerce, phone ordering, and seasonal door-to-door direct sales, with a 100% Workmanship Guarantee. Operations cover Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia via corporate locations and franchise partners, with active franchise recruitment across approximately 30 additional Canadian markets.

The business model is service-based with two revenue streams: residential one-time per-season fees purchased online at transparent prices, and contract-based commercial asphalt services delivered through a dedicated sales team. The company claims to serve over 100,000 Canadian homeowners annually and self-describes as Canada's largest professional driveway sealing company, though no revenue figures are disclosed.
