About Us

BML Landscaping & Snow Removal is a local company run by brothers Brian and Evan Metcalfe, the third generation of the Metcalfe family. Started in 2014, the company is really a continuation of service first begun by their grandfather Raymond Metcalfe.

Establishing the family farm near outside of Almonte in the 1950s, Raymond juggled farming with working for a landscaping company in Ottawa for many years. Raymond and his wife Margaret, raised six sons and three daughters, all of whom remained in the area. All of Raymond’s sons inherited his love of landscaping and operating equipment. Many of them went on to work for Thomas Cavanagh Construction.

One of Raymond’s sons, Carl, balanced work for the Town of Carleton Place with operating a small landscaping company of his own. As soon as Carl’s sons Brian and Evan were old enough, they joined their Dad on weekends and holidays to learn and to help out with the family business. Carl and his wife Heather built their family home near the Metcalfe farm and today one of Carl’s brothers continues to operate the farm.

Almonte Born and Raised

Brian and Evan grew up playing team sports in Almonte, including soccer, softball and hockey. Both graduated from Almonte District High School. Each took a few years to build their skills and experience before officially starting their own landscaping and snow removal business.

Brian first worked for Davis Landscape and Design in Ottawa the summer after graduating from ADHS before spending time learning the trades and studying to become an electrician at Algonquin College. His heart was not in this new field. He moved out west to Red Deer, Alberta and worked for Parkland Nursery and Landscape Services. His time in Red Deer reaffirmed his commitment to landscaping work. In 2014 he returned to Almonte and started BML Landscaping & Snow Removal.
