About Us

Nature's Reflections Landscaping (NRL) has been in operation since February 2006. NRL was founded by owner Ben Floyd after working several years in the industry and studying horticulture at Niagara College of Applied Arts and Technology. Ben's knowledge of plants, the growing "green" need of customers, and the desire to offer something different and unique is why Nature's Reflections Landscaping was founded.

Ben and the staff of NRL have established a company which can make your landscaping vision a reality. Nature's Reflections Landscaping has developed a reputation for precision quality and customer involvement in the South Shore. NRL continues to build upon our successes. As you can see from the Galleries of recently completed work, as well as the list of Services offered by us, NRL will bring your daydreams to life.

Our Team

Ben Floyd

Ben was born and raised on the South Shore of Nova Scotia. Ben's love and interest for nature and the horticulture industry developed at a very young age. He has worked with the industry at several levels throughout his career, including three years as a greenhouse worker during high school. Ben has been actively involved with his community throughout his life. Whether it was volunteering with the local fire department, or volunteering with the 4-H program as a leader, Ben has held his share of positions on committees helping for the betterment of his community.

Ben graduated from Park View Education Centre in 2002, and followed his career dreams to Niagara College of Applied Arts and Technology, in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. For two years this is where he called home, studying Horticulture. Upon graduation from Niagara College in 2004, Ben's love for the East Coast brought him back home with a greenhouse grower position at Pine View Farms.

In the spring of 2006 Ben set out to establish a landscape and property maintenance company of his own on the South Shore. Ben founded Nature's Reflections Landscaping, the name was something that reflected his outlook on nature, but was also something different. Ben's goal was to provide a level of service different to South Shore, but also with an educational background to guarantee his clients with only the highest quality of service.

Ben enjoys spending time outside, at the beach with his golden retriever Maggie, camping, and times with friends and family
