Hi! I’m Phil, the owner and operator of Spade + Thistle.

Perhaps you’ve inherited a beautiful landscape - a complex garden or an intricate pond - only to find that maintaining that landscape is a specialized task. Or, perhaps your own beloved pond or garden has simply become too much to manage alone.

Whether your outdoor space has grown a bit unruly or you simply want to enjoy your sanctuary without the physical strain of its upkeep, I am here to help.

When you hire Spade + Thistle, you get my undivided attention. I work alone. I don’t dispatch crews or part-time labourers; you work directly with me. This ensures that every prune, every filter check, and every weed pulled is handled with the horticultural knowledge and meticulous detail that only an owner with a true passion for their trade can provide.

With Spade + Thistle, you’ll never have to wonder if the job was done right. My goal is to provide the peace of mind that comes from great communication and a consistently high standard of work.
I truly love what I do, and I believe that it shows. 

If this all sounds good to you, please fill out the contact form at the bottom of the page to get in touch with me.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

- Phil
