Maki's Mowing and More is a full-service lawn mowing, property maintenance, and landscaping business serving Westboro, Ottawa, and Kanata. We are committed to our mission of providing our clientele with comfort, peace of mind, and free time. Our core values are Excellence, Efficiency, and Integrity.
Maki crews have been in my neighbourhood a lot in the past few weeks doing leaf cleanup at various homes. Same in recent years. They use insanely loud gas powered leaf blowers. It could be nice to consider possibly getting some quieter blowers to reduce the repeated bother to all of the neighbours. Not the end of the world, but wow are those blowers loud and obnoxious. :)
Nathan Maki's staff has been mowing and trimming my large lawn with lots of flower beds for3 years. The work has been excellent, always on time and reliably thorough, neat and tidy. Easy to deal with, I recommend them highly. Scott Mac
We had our back lawn relaid in September 2024. We are extremely happy with the work carried out by Terry and the Maki Team. We can definitely recommend Maki's for any type of garden work. Brian Ottawa
I contracted with Maki's Mowing to resod a portion of my backyard this year. They did a fantastic job over two days, and Jon even came back to replace a couple of strips where the grass was suffering from heat stress. Nathan is quick to respond to any questions or concerns. I strongly recommend using Maki Mowing for your lawn care.
We have used Maki’s for gathering and disposing of fallen leaves from the many trees on our property and also replacing old 4” by 4” ceder that frames the brickwork in the front of our house. We highly recommend Maki’s. The work performed has been excellent and the company is very reliable.
Wow what a phenomenal company. They landscaped my lawn into a work of art! The crew showed up on time, were very professional and Terry, the team lead, was extremely knowledgeable. They not only landscaped but helped set me up to care well for the lawn. Prior to landscaping, Nathan responded to my (many!) questions via email to make sure I was happy with the design. Highly recommend!
I was referred to Nathan by my sister and he has been amazing! Reasonably priced, great work, sticks to a schedule and him and his team are super pleasant and courteous. He installed a hard border around my entire backyard and replaced all the grass with new sod. He levelled it perfectly eliminating the low spots and grading everything to match my new patio and the stone border. I couldn’t have asked for a better job. I highly recommend him!
Maki has done two top notch jobs for us - one big, one small. They redid my entire backyard in a single day, totally transforming it from a dog dug up wasteland into curving gardens and pristine sod. They also recently brought a load of their raised garden soil for my second raised bed. All my gardens, including the raised bed, were highly productive. Great stuff. They are professional, courteous, and get down to business and don't stop until the job is done well. Highly recommended.
Great job!
Amazing crew who did an incredible job
Great job and service!
Nathan, yes you did a great job on our laneway interlock repair
Team did a fabulous job of my totally overgrown backyard! In particular, stellar job on flower beds by Madeleine! Great workers!
Simply put the services and the communication to clients provided by Maki Mowing and More are the best in the city bar none. Cesar and his team consistently deliver professional lawn/yard care week after week, while the owner Nathan Maki maintains a smooth running operation at very competitive rates. I would highly recommend Maki Mowing and More to anyone.
The two fellows who did May gardening at my place were very good. It seemed a bit new for them, but they were keen, and learned fast and were careful and cleaned up. I knew their names but now I have forgotten them. They were excellent. I gave this feedback to Cecil as well
Fabulous and reliable service.
Excellent service, very professional to deal with hard working, polite crews!
The Maki crew of four was amazing - courteous, efficient and did a wonderful job on our spring clean up - our front and back lawn were transformed. Highly recommended this company.
I loved dealing with these people - the crew arrived, did their magic on our yard. They were all so friendly, kind. One of them had a conversation with my mom, whose grandfather went to same school as her! Just great people, hugely recommend.
I have contracted their services twice and attempted to a third time. No More!! Communication in Ottawa is poor. The owner does not live in Ottawa and has been unreachable on occasion. They dont offer services listed on their website hopefully they will fix this oversite. I got the sense that they did not want my business, maybe my yard wasnt pretty enough. If you are looking for a service that will do some of the work you dont want to have to do yourself and you have a small average property Makis is not what you are looking for.
Makis Mowing did a super Spring clean up of our property. Excellent. We are really pleased. The crew members were friendly, professional and attentive to our instructions. We will certainly be using Makis again!
Year 2 of working with Maki and their work i s great! Just when I think it is time for a visit, they appear with lawn mowers, trimmers and blowers and go to work. The lawn looks better every time!
First time using Makis. So far, great experience. Cesar the team leader was very attentive to my direction in relation to gates and keys. They were here one minute and gone again. Fast but good job.
Great service from ownership to employees. Friendly and attentive.
This is my first year with Makis & I am so glad I chose this company. They are mowing my lawn, always on time & do a great job! My lawn is responding well!!
April 2024 We just had our spring cleanup completed. We are very pleased with the work that César and Berkin did! They are so careful, conscientious, and personable! I remember César from last year. They are super representatives of your company. We look forward to having them back in the Fall.
We ve been using Makis past seven years for lawn mowing, weeding and eaves cleaning. Professional, courteous and great work ethic. We also had them last year to do some Hardscape work and are pleased with the outcome. Norm and Lorna
We have used the services of Makis Mowing and More for a long time - well over 10 years. They have cut our lawn, cared for it, every May long weekend planted our flower garden and looked after it, planted trees and bushes, even replaced grass with river stone by the house where the sun never arrived. We are moving and will really miss the excellent services that has been provided for years. They are very dependable. We highly recommend them.
I highly recommend the Maki team as they are always very professional, efficient and do excellent work. I ve been a customer for many years and am always very happy with their work. Recommend without any hesitations.
This is my first year using Makis services and I must say I was thoroughly impressed. Clear communications, punctual, and best of all they did everything they promised and more! Would absolutely recommend their services.
Maki Mowing is great! They are very professional and their team does an excellent job. They service on time and the job is done to a high standard! Nathan is a business man with integrity which is hard to find these days. Excellent customer service. Highly recommend!
It was a pleasure to have Maki s Mowing and More resurrect my back yard garden . They also did a wonderful initial Spring clean-up. The staff are kind, helpful, talented and efficient. a total 5 stars across the board.
Makis Mowing and More did an excellent job on our property. They are to be commended on their good work. Thank you to Nathan and the team!
Thank you, Nathan & team! Our gardens look fantastic and I would highly recommend you!
Very professional and prompt service, enrollment is easy and smooth, and they started to take care of my lawn right away including lawn cutting, care and garden mulching. thank you.
We have been using Makis for a few years now for some lawn attention and hedge trimming. No one can compare. All of their staff have been so courteous, professional and seem to excel at clean up (unlike others) not to mention the job itself! Very much appreciative of a job well done-hard to come by these days
Rip off, garbage service. Did not do what was on contract.
i cannot say enough good things about MakiMowing team. Last year they did excellent work redoing a front walkway in slab pavers, which involved unexpectedly digging up not one but two old buried walkways! Efficient, very high quality work. Work Site spotless. Kind and rapid communication and service! This year, 15foot high cedar hedge trimmed again efficiently, with all debris removed and friendly courteous team. Very good value for money. Try them! You will not be sorry.
Nathan did an amazing job levelling the brick walkway that leads up to our front door and built a new stone flower box for us. We really appreciated all the time and effort he put into going over all the different options with us. We were impressed by how detailed the work description in the quote was. Looking forward to working with again.
Maki s always do a great job. Professional and courteous staff.
Makis service is terrific. Nathan is so pleasant to deal with, and when he dug out a bunch of aging junipers for us a couple of days ago he left the whole area spotless and ready for next Spring. I could not be more pleased.
Appreciate the responsive service and attention to detail with the Fall clean up. Thank you for making our gardens look great all summer.
Competitive pricing combined with quality lawn and yard care services. They re always on top of the schedule and work gets done when it s expected. Their fall and spring cleanups are thorough. It s obvious that they take pride in their work. Highly recommend.
Great service and always striving to do more.
Excellent service and well priced . Very polite workers and we re very timely thank you
Count me as a happy customer. I contract for several services and always find the staff to be professional and diligent. Nathan, the owner, is responsive and knowledgeable whenever I have a question.
Makis is terrific! They are attentive, efficient and care about their clients. I d highly recommend!
Would highly recommend Maki for all your yard and landscaping needs. We have used Maki at 3 separate houses over the years. Our lawn is beautiful and their fall and spring clean ups are such a life saver for our busy family. Affordable and amazing service. Take something off your plate and enjoy your yard, hire Maki!
For a second consecutive season I availed myself of MAKIs spring garden cleanup along with a spring fert last season. Should my husband ever tire of mowing the lawn you can bet Id be engaging MAKIs Mowing and More to get that handled.
I have had excellent service from Makis Mowing thus far. Not only do they do as great a job as advertised but they respond quickly to inquiries. Highly recommend.
Makis provides outstanding customer service and they are always professional and reliable.
Deliver as promised with good quality!
Excellent, reliable, spring-cleaning and semi-annual gutter cleaning. Responsive customer service.
I chose Makis some years ago when they dropped in my mailbox a simple black and white 8.5x 11 menu with clear pricing for their services. That straightforward approach impressed me. They do a great job on my yard every spring for a reasonable price, and they are, in my experience, decent, honest, hard-working people.
This is our second year with Maki Mowing and More. We use quite a few of their services and find them to have been professional and efficient in their work.
I have been a client of Maki s for many years since I first received their simple handout advertisement.I have also had services they provided,attended to in a most immaculate manner,and weather permitting,on schedule at all times. I also know Maki s to be fair employers with dedicated employees performing their services at highest standards,cleaning up all debris before leaving my property.
Having been in the customer service industry for 33 years, I tend to have high expectations. Makis hits my targets ++++++. We consider ourselves lucky that we found them. They are professional, respectful, thoughtful and reliable. They may not be the cheapest but I have always believed that you get what you pay for!!! Their staff are wonderful and take the time to do a perfect job. You can tell that they really care. Thank you Nathan!
I have been a customer for +5 years and only have high praise for Nathan and his team. Makis has done several small landscaping jobs, and regular annual property maintenance. Prices are competitive. Staff are reliable, and efficient. Though they are very busy during peak season, Nathan always replies to questions in timely fashion. An excellent local small business worth every penny.
Maki mowing was recently recommended to me for lawn care services and I am so thankful they were. Nathan and his team have been nothing short of fantastic. There was no sales pressure. Service options were presented for us to decide which services we needed. They are doing great work, on time, staff go the extra mile to ensure everything is cleaned up and tidy, very polite and professional, open to questions, even taking the garden bags to the curb because I cant do it. Nathan himself has been super responsive to our emails and calls as well! Prices are a bit higher than your average guy with mower but the professionalism, focus on the customer and quality of work is worth every penny.
Makis has been helping me with my lawn and garden for years. Top notch work. I can finally relax and actually enjoy my garden. They even helped me out on short notice when I was trying to get my mothers house ready to be sold.
We ve been using Maki s for years now and they ve been excellent. They do our lawns, and maintain our flower gardens keeping the property looking great. We would recommend them highly.
Although this is my first contract with Maki s Mowing I was very impressed with Nathan s prompt and personal response to my enquiry. Within hours he assessed my property and sent a proposal for service. Although, fortunately I don t need I was also very pleased to see his offer of volunteer help to clean up storm damage after the thunderstorm on May 21. I believe his company is a valuable asset in our community. Jennifer Chapman
Last year we used Maki s services for the first time and were so satisfied. This year they have already proven to be exceptional again. Spring clean up was fantastic, the plant and garden specialist as well. Then the Storm!! They didn t wait to hear from us, they reached out to all their clients to offer their help on Victoria Day holiday. As promised a team showed up after I m sure hours of helping other people out and made our backyard look as if nothing had happened!! We feel very lucky and very impressed by Makis dedication and great service!!
We have been using Makis services for a couple of years to trim our backyard hedges and shrubs. We have been very happy with their service and would recommend them without hesitation. In our experience, they have been courteous, reliable and professional and their rates fair and reasonable.
Living in Victoria and maintaining an Estate property in Ottawa, Maki s was recommended to us by a friend in Arnprior. This is our second year with Maki s and have nothing but praise for quality of service. Not having the opportunity to travel to Ottawa due to Covid, we get positive reports and photos from our Ottawa contact. We will recommend Maki s to the next owners.
We saw Makis crew doing some beautiful landscaping in our Stittsville neighbourhood, early last fall, and approached Nathan, on that site, to look at an area of our yard where the lawn needed to be replaced. We were delighted with the re-sodding job they did. Nathan and his crew are good people, hard working, and professional. Anytime we need help with property maintenance, or improvement, well be calling Makis.
Very happy with all their landscaping services as always on time, great work by all staff and pleasant to deal with. Peggy & Don McHugh Ottawa
Maki Mowing & More is a company I have been using for years. Maki is a very professional company. They are reliable, they go above and beyond to ensure their clients are pleased with their work. They have been adding services to their line up so I can get all my yard work complete with one company. A great team! I highly recommend Maki.
So glad I found Makis! They are professional, hard working, efficient and always happy to say hello. Gardening was never my interest so Makis team keeps my place looking great. And all the extras they offer really help me out. Thanks a mil!
Maki has been looking after our lawn and have always done a first class job. Nathan and Jon, and team, are so reliable that we are getting them to do our winter snow removal. Their communication is another appreciated aspect of keeping you in the know.
Professional, reliable, and courteous; a real pleasure to work with the Maki family.
I have been Nathans customer for many years and have always had excellent service with lawn care and landscaping. This year he replaced my front step and walkway and did a beautiful job. Last winter, I enjoyed exceptional snow removal service from Jon. I appreciate the excellent work, the work ethic and the professional conduct of this local company.
What a wonderful company! They show up on time as promised. The staff are so kind and excellent at what they do. My yard and garden have never looked this amazing. I m so grateful for their help! After the Storm in May, The owner offered his team to help his clients remove trees from their yards, for free. A fantastic company and excellent service!
Nathan and Jon are amazing. I have used Makis for several years now and I am very happy. They are very reliable and helpful. Highly recommend this company.
Very professional courteous service, amazing change to our front yard. Thanks so much!
Great service. Prompt, reliable, good customer interactions with all the employees as well as the owner. You can tell they take pride in their work. We will continue to use their services
Reliable and efficient. Very happy with Makis service and would recommend.
Great company to deal with!! Fast, courteous, and easy to talk to.
I am one of many customers of this company and I will gladly recommend it to anyone seeking decent and good lawn maintenance.
This my front lawn was destroyed by raccoons eating grubs . Yesterday a very professional Maki team arrived and 6 hours later a new lawn was installed . They are personable and efficient simply they know what they are doing. I would without reservation recommend the Maki team .
Nathan and his team did a spectacular job on our backyard. We had them come in to do a full resod on our large backyard as it was full of weeds. The physical labour to get this work done was tiring to think about and yet they finished the project in just 2 days! Very impressive to watch them work so hard to get it all done on time. They also brought in river rocks to transform our swing set in the back. Very easy to discuss with through email and very collaborative with the irrigation company we were working with to organize installation. Would undoubtedly recommend and will definitely call for future landscaping work!
Good Day. I have been dealing with Makis Mowing and More for my second year. I have found them to be efficient, on time, and courteous. The young people employed by Makis waste no time getting the job done and actually alerted me to a serious problem, a sink hole, on my property that I was unaware of. Because of this I was able to hire a contractor to address the situation and avoid potential injury to my family and/or others on my property. I am more than satisfied with the service provided.
The Maki team is reliable, hard-working and courteous. Highly recommend them for snow removal and lawn maintenance.
Makis has a great team! I hired Makis for the first time this year. They cleared my eaves trough this spring, did garden cleanup, aerated, seeded, and now mow and trim. Under their care my yard looks better than it ever did in past years. I am very pleased with this company and will continue with them in the years ahead.
We met Nathan Maki as he was hand-delivering flyers on our street, and we were impressed with the fact that he was obviously a hands-on person in his business. There were times during our consultation when he could have recommended extra services to us, but he was completely honest about what we needed, and willing to answer any and all of our questions. We have met his staff as they were working on our lawn, and they are very friendly and knowledgeable. I have already recommended this company to our friends, and will continue to do so. Were completely satisfied with their service.
We have used Makis for several years for services including lawn mowing, leaf removal, snow removal and more. Makis are very reliable to honour their contract and be there when you need them. I give them an excellent rating for their work and thank them for the voluntary clean up of mine and my neighbours tree branches after the May storm.
We had to redo our front lawn and also our planter box. Nathan was quick, prompt and efficient in getting back to us in answering our questions and providing us with a quote. His team is ALWAYS prompt and courteous every time they came by. My family and I are so happy with the entire family of Makis Mowing and More and highly recommend their services and expertise. Thank-you so much again Nathan and the entire family at Makis!
Our family has used Makis for a number of projects over the years and I would not choose any other company. They are an extremely professional group of people that pride themselves in doing meticulous work and having always shown the sincerest interest in their clientele. You will never go wrong dealing with this company, Regards, Moe Flynn
A quality job was done --- installing new topsoil and sod to replace a sick lawn. The work was done when promised by a courteous, efficient work crew. Thank you!
Maki s started caring for my 94 year old mother s lawn and gardens this year. Their team is friendly, courteous and does immaculate work. In three short months, her property looks the best it has in years.
