Urban Landscaping Ltd. was developed in 1989 by Neil Pond after he graduated from Dalhousie Faculty of Agriculture with a diploma in Landscape Horticulture. The company's first focus was on landscape design & construction projects, but it quickly grew to include property maintenance, lawn care, soil production, and a retail landscaping centre. As the company grew, so did the management staff which now includes Neil's wife Lorna in sales and administration and Carole Anne Ahier in operations.
