History

Where it all began

Committed to integrity, we build with passion.

It was over ten years ago that Richard and Christine Wynia founded LandArt. What started as a small contracting business has since grown into a multiple-award-winning enterprise, servicing the Niagara, Greater Hamilton and Burlington areas.

Our team is composed of craftsmen — artists — who are all passionate about the quality of their craft and dedicated to working with you to build your own beautiful custom landscape or complete your home renovation. Biblical principles such as honesty and integrity challenge us to display these virtues in all our business practices.

Striving for excellence

Meet Richard and Christine Wynia.

As Richard himself would say, Christine is the financial brains of the operation. Having grown up on a farm, she always felt drawn to the challenge of running a business. With a passion for numbers and analytics, she went to school to study business accounting and then went on to receive her CPA, CMA designation. 
 
Richard, on the other hand, is the dreamer in the relationship. He began working in the industry during highschool where he quickly developed an affinity for landscaping. Over the years, Richard's passion for the craft continued to evolve; now, one of the things he enjoys most is working with you to see your ideas transform into a beautiful space that you'll use for years.
 
Over the past couple of years, we have worked to expand our services to include not only landscaping but also custom renovations. This expansion is in response to the increasing number of requests from our landscape clients who seek a trusted interior renovation design and build firm.
