Kenny Kim Landscaping is a well-established landscaping and woodwork company based in North York, Toronto, with roots going back to 1988. For over 35 years, the business has built its reputation through quality craftsmanship and word-of-mouth referrals. However, as more homeowners turn to online search to find landscaping services, the company needed to transition from an offline reputation to a visible digital presence without losing the trust and credibility they had built over decades. Chrootly designed and built a modern website that honoured the company's heritage while presenting a contemporary, professional image. The site showcased decades of completed projects, communicated the depth of experience behind the brand, and was structured for local SEO performance in the North York and broader Toronto market. Every page was optimised to rank for relevant landscaping and woodwork search terms. The local SEO strategy was built to ensure Kenny Kim Landscaping appeared in search results when North York homeowners looked for landscaping services. This included optimising the company's Google Business Profile, implementing structured data, and creating locally relevant content that established geographic authority. The goal was to bring the same level of trust the brand had built offline into the digital space.
Notable
Established brand since 1988
The Challenge
Kenny Kim Landscaping had over 35 years of experience and an excellent reputation built through referrals, but almost no online visibility. As customer behaviour shifted toward online search, the company was missing opportunities from homeowners who searched for landscaping services in North York and Toronto. They needed a digital presence that could capture this demand while reflecting the established credibility of a business that has been operating since 1988.
Our Approach
Chrootly built a modern, performance-optimised website using Next.js that presented Kenny Kim Landscaping's portfolio and decades of experience in a professional, accessible format. Local SEO was implemented across the site, with optimised metadata, structured data markup, and locally relevant content targeting North York and surrounding Toronto neighbourhoods. The Google Business Profile was optimised to support local map pack visibility. The design balanced modern aesthetics with respect for the brand's long history.
The Outcome
Kenny Kim Landscaping now has a digital presence that matches the quality and history of their offline brand. The company appears in local search results for landscaping and woodwork services in North York and Toronto, capturing customers who previously would have found competitors. The website serves as both a portfolio showcase and a lead generation tool, giving a 35-year-old business the online visibility it deserves. The site is built on a modern technical foundation that ensures fast performance and strong search engine visibility for years to come.
