Our Story

PGTE’s first contract in 2001 was with the Parkdale Village Business Improvement Area. 18 years later, we offer climate change responsive plant maintenance, landscaping and streetscaping services to a wide range of commercial clients. Our specialty is serving Business Improvement Areas. Dundas West, Roncesvalles, Parkdale Village and College Promenade BIAs are just a few of our happy clients.
