About Nature's Own Landscape & Design

Nature’s Own is a landscape design and construction company which primarily serves the Niagara Region from its Pelham location. The company was founded by Steven Van Lochem NPD in 2001. In 2012 Brother's Steven & Ryan decided to become partners and go incorporated under the name Nature’s Own Landscape & Nursery Ltd. Our primary goal is to maintain our reputable commitment to quality, as well as our family run business atmosphere that many of our customers have grown to love.


The landscape design portion of the business is overseen by Steven.  Darren Schmahl NPD is an experienced designer that we work along with as a landscape design consultant, and we work with him on various larger projects.  Steven & Darren are both graduates of the Niagara Parks School of Horticulture. Prior to studying at NPC, Steven also attended and graduated Ridgetown College.

Steve & Ryan oversee and work alongside our 3 skilled landscape supervisors. Each crew consists of 2-3 people and come together as a team to tackle many of our larger projects. By maintaining our small crews we don’t lose sight of our quality that we strive to achieve. Along with our Supervisors we are always trying to maintain a positive work environment that encourages safety, high quality, continuous learning, efficiency & professionalism while keeping our customers satisfaction of utmost importance.


In 2011 due to the demand of our patron customers we began a landscape maintenance division, which is overseen by Ryan. You will see the same professionalism in our maintenance crew as our customers have seen in our construction division. Our staff will ensure that your property is beautifully maintained so that you can get the most out of your well-deserved leisure time.

  • Nature’s Own looked after the construction of my Landscape in the fall of 2014. Here is some details about my experiences with them: Cathy my neighbor recommended Ryan from Nature’s Own to me. Honestly, their quotes were very similar to the ones we got before from a few other companies but there was something that made me feel you guys were more reliable and honest. Your quote was extremely clear; I could clearly tell how much it would be if I took out some parts so I didn't think there would be any “hidden charges”. We’d never had any landscaping done before we were sometime confused because I didn't understand the process. Cathy had said, “You are professional and she’s been happy with all the jobs you did for her”. So I decided to let you guys make some decisions. I figured your ideas would be better than ours. I didn't watch you guys a lot when you were working outside but I checked everything after you guys left. At first I thought it was slow until I talked to you. You answered my question with a very detailed plan and schedule and you kept your word. I didn't push you but you noticed my concern and told me what was going to be done first and last. It was really great because you understood what I wanted and what I expected. I remember I asked you about the driveway as I needed it to be done so we could park our cars keeping in mind we needed an extra parking spot. After seeing the skids of stone at the front yard and the finished driveway, we were extremely satisfied and the finished product was even better than we could imagine. I actually didn't even like the exterior stone color of our house until the landscaping was done. You made it look much nicer with the type of stone and colors that you selected. From then on, I decided to accept all your opinions as I began to realize Cathy did not mislead me in any way. Whenever I changed my mind on the plan, I just told you what I wanted and you could give me advice right away and you confirmed everything with me before you began every part. I believe your advice was very neutral as I've had some bad experiences with some vendors and contractors who tried to sell me something that I didn't want at all. You guys told me what was worth being done and what was not then let me make the decision. As I remember, I accepted all your advice because they were thought through and professional. You were always very courteous to us. Sometimes you wanted to talk to me but you didn't want to wake me up so you kept your head up looking at the garage to catch me before I left home. I must appreciate your patience. I had a contractor and electrician working in the basement so I could tell the differences. I had to tell the contractor and electrician every single part and give a detailed plan. I just told you what I wanted then you created plans for me. If only they could do their job as if they were doing it for their own homes as you did. You and all your guys had worked really hard and carefully. Honestly I think I got more than what I paid and I treat you all like my friends, friends that know me and understand me. You have created the best landscape that we could ever imagine. Also one last thing I must mention which is the most important thing to me is to make my wife happy. I have been trying for 8 years but you guys did it. Knowing and understand someone is not what money or time can buy. Thank-you for all your work, Sidney
