What Our Clients Are Saying
Experience the Shade Group difference—where quality workmanship meets exceptional service.
After doing some research online, I was brought to Alan and Shade Group with a project to extent our backyard and clean up a ton of brush, deadfall and unhealthy trees. Alan was an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish! Project was priced right, started and finished on time and without delays.
I would highly recommend Alan and the team at Shade Group! You will not be disappointed!

Communication at the Forefront
We set ourselves apart from the competition by making communication our primary, most important matter. We strive to maintain an open line of communication throughout the project, and ensure the client feels included on every stage of the project. We never want our clients to feel that they’ve been abandoned! As a small, family run company, we have the luxury of controlling our own workload. That means you are dealing directly with the professional who will be doing the field work; writing the report, or preparing the drawing. No unnecessary layers of management means that we are able to maintain a realistic workload that allows us to offer the top notch service we pride ourselves on.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of professional services do you provide?
Our professional services include civil engineering, drainage engineering and environmental consulting. Our services can be tailored to meet your project needs. Whether you need assistance with species-at-risk screening, drainage engineering, or a site plan control project, we have you covered with practical, experience-based solutions. Monica Shade, our lead engineer, has over 15 years of experience in the civil engineering space. Heather Lunn, our lead biologist, is a second generation biologist with over 20 years of professional experience.
Will I be dealing directly with the person working on my project?
Yes, one of the things that makes us different is that you will be speaking directly to the person who will handle your project, be it in the field, writing reports, or making plans. No runarounds or middle managers.
Do you serve only the Ottawa area?
No. Although we’re based in Almonte, just west of Ottawa, we service all of Eastern Ontario. If you’re in Ontario, within a 2 hour drive of Almonte give us a call!
What do you do to keep clients updated during the project?
We value open and transparent communication at all levels. You will never be left guessing where your project is, and we will always keep you updated, no radio silence or guessing games.
What’s the best way to get started?
The simplest place to start is to complete our contact form with a brief introduction to your project. Location of the project, services required, and any other pertinent information. We’ll be in touch within a couple of days, and determine exactly your project needs so we can provide a quote.
What makes Shade Group different from larger consulting firms?
As a small, family-owned business, we handle our workload as attentively as possible so that no client is deprived of the attention they deserve. We provide quality service, individual attention, and direct communication without any unnecessary delays or multiple management layers.
