Earthworks Garden Center Inc

What Earthworks Garden Center Inc does

Earthworks Garden Center Inc (operating as Earthworks Landscape Supply) is a privately held landscape supply yard and full-service installation company headquartered at 9710 Longwoods Road in Chatham, Ontario. Founded in 2007 by Eric, Brent, and Derek, the company operates the largest landscape supply yard in the Chatham-Kent region and serves homeowners, landscape contractors, and commercial property owners across Southwestern Ontario. The business runs a single integrated offering combining retail/wholesale materials with professional installation under one roof, eliminating coordination friction between separate supply and contractor providers.

The product catalog spans bulk materials (mulch, topsoil, decorative stone, aggregate), pavers and wall systems from multiple manufacturers (Browns Concrete, RINOX, Santerra, Oaks/Brampton Brick, Triple H, Natural Stone Traders), natural stone, precast concrete steps, a plant nursery, landscape accessories, lighting, fencing, and specialty outdoor products (hot tubs, saunas, swim spas via Northern Hot Tubs). Installation services include hardscaping (patios, walkways, retaining walls, fire pits, driveways), softscaping (garden beds, sod, planting, water features), fiberglass pool installation, and ongoing landscape maintenance. Landscape design is provided through a strategic partnership with Elements Design Group, with Earthworks covering the design fee when customers proceed with installation. Delivery and equipment-based placement of bulk and palletized materials are offered across the region via dump truck and forklift.

The revenue model blends one-time retail/wholesale material sales (unit or bulk pricing, pickup or delivery) with project-based professional installation services requiring a 25% deposit. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market relies on direct sales through the physical yard, free on-site estimates, a Wix-hosted website with detailed product and service catalogs, Instagram and Facebook organic content, and a strong base of word-of-mouth referrals. No paid advertising, no AI or proprietary technology layer, and no funding rounds are evident; the company appears self-funded and operationally profitable, with the local brand and integrated supply-plus-installation model serving as the primary commercial assets.

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Unilock: Major manufacturer of concrete pavers and wall systems; Earthworks offers competing/manufacturer products from Unilock's ecosystem (e.g., Oaks/Brampton Brick). Relevant as an upstream supplier/ecosystem participant shaping the product mix Earthworks can sell.
• Techo-Bloc: North American hardscape manufacturer of pavers, slabs, and retaining wall systems. Comparable via the supplier ecosystem Earthworks participates in and as a benchmark for branded hardscape positioning that Earthworks' customers may also specify.

Broad incumbents

• Rona: Canadian home improvement retailer stocking landscaping materials, garden supplies, and tools. Comparable on the supply side but lacks an integrated installation offering similar to Earthworks' in-house crews.
• SiteOne Landscape Supply: Largest North American wholesale distributor of landscape supplies including hardscapes, irrigation, and lighting. Overlaps with Earthworks on the wholesale/contractor supply side but at vastly greater scale and without integrated installation crews.
• Home Depot Canada: National big-box home improvement retailer carrying landscape materials, pavers, plants, and rental equipment. Overlaps on the materials retail side; does not provide regional full-service landscape installation comparable to Earthworks.

Direct peers

• Beaver Valley Stone: Ontario landscape supply company specializing in natural stone, flagstone, and related hardscape materials. Comparable product mix (stone, pavers, accessories) and overlapping customer base of homeowners and contractors in Ontario.
• Pioneer Landscape Centres: Ontario-based landscape supply and installation operator with multiple yards across Southern Ontario. Directly comparable to Earthworks on the combined retail-supply-plus-installation model serving residential and contractor customers.
• Landscape Depot: Greater Toronto Area landscape supply yard offering bulk materials, pavers, and stone with delivery. Closely comparable as a regional landscape materials retailer serving DIY homeowners and contractors.

Regional players

• Green Thumb Garden Centre: Independent Ontario garden center chain selling plants, bulk materials, and landscape supplies. Comparable retail/nursery offering serving a similar Southwestern Ontario homeowner base.
• Sheridan Nurseries: Established Ontario garden center and nursery with multiple retail locations. Comparable on the plant, nursery, and landscape accessory retail side, though it does not provide in-house installation crews at Earthworks' scale.
