We are an Ottawa-based premium landscape construction company. We have always specialized in projects that people get close up and personal with. Golfers hit wedges from lush fairways into perfectly-constructed inviting greens. Children run and play on splash pads, without a care in the world, dodging jets of water shooting up, down and every which way. Soccer players slide tackle their opponents on a smooth blanket of thick grass. Families enjoy their perfectly-manicured backyard on lazy Sunday afternoons.

My name is Carter Cullen and I started Strathmar Trenching in 1996. I was the Assistant Greens Keeper at a local golf course and I was put in charge of finding an irrigation and drainage company to help us with the new 18 holes we were constructing. All the companies I found were expensive and I just wasn’t convinced I was going to get the quality I was looking for. So, I decided to buy the equipment I needed and do it myself. And with that, Strathmar Trenching was born.

Today we operate under the same principles:  do great work, and do it for a good price. I’ve kept the business focused on projects that require a green thumb sort of speak. We work on projects that will be ran on, splashed on, or even just stared at. We thrive when attention to detail is paramount. Whether we are building a sand bunker, constructing a school playground or seeding a football field, we finish the job so that it’s just right for people to enjoy.
