Our Team
Geller’s was born from a true love of working outdoors and designing beautiful spaces. We are a family run business stretching across generations from the infamous Aunt Jacqui, to company owner Matt, and brothers Jesse, Jackson, Brandon & Sean. Geller’s was created to provide an alternative to the napkin sketches and spray painted plans of the past. With proper planning and attention to detail Geller’s is able to design, build, landscape and maintain stunning outdoor spaces. As the company has grown, so has our experience to include various industry awards, certifications, and flagship projects.
As a family run business we provide a high level of communication paired with professional design and build services. We are partners with home owners, builders and other contractors to ensure a smooth process from our initial meeting to the end of the project. The majority of our work is completed by our very own certified and educated staff allowing us to maintain the highest level of quality control on site.
While many companies walk away from a project upon completion, we have a large maintenance division dedicated to ensuring your landscape improves with time. From weekly lawn service visits to pruning and flower bed upkeep, we are dedicated to creating a lasting landscape and outdoor space within your property. We love building relationships that stand the test of time - we are here year after year to count on for all your outdoor services.




I began my journey into landscape design in 2012, when I enrolled in the Environmental Design program at the University of Manitoba.
From the very beginning, I was drawn to the way outdoor spaces could shape how we live, feel, and connect with the world around us.
​
What I love most about this work is the collaboration, the magic that happens when ideas are shared between coworkers and clients to create something meaningful and entirely unique.
​
Outside of design, I’m also the lead singer in a rock band!
Music has always been another way I express creativity and connect with others.
Caila Sveinson
Senior Design Project Manager

I graduated from the University of Manitoba’s Environmental Design program in 2022 and am currently pursuing my Master’s in Landscape Architecture, also at the U of M. It’s been an incredible journey so far, and I’m excited to continue growing in this field.
​
Originally from Thompson, Manitoba, I’m a proud northern transplant to Winnipeg. Growing up with the vast boreal forest as our backyard playground sparked my early love for natural spaces and ultimately inspired my path into landscape design.
​
When I’m not immersed in my studies or design work, you’ll usually find me in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes, on the golf course chasing a better swing, or riding the emotional rollercoaster of being a lifelong (and very patient) Toronto Maple Leafs fan.
Brady Ricketts
Design Project Manager

I got my start in the industry at just 14 years old, working alongside my uncle in Vancouver. From those early days, I was hooked on the satisfaction of building something tangible and lasting.
​
What I love most about my job is watching a project take shape. From the first shovel in the ground to the final detail. Seeing that transformation each day is incredibly motivating, especially knowing that we’re creating spaces people will love and enjoy for years to come.
​
One of my proudest accomplishments was leading a 32,000 sq/ft paving stone installation for a legislative building in Regina, a project that challenged my skills and showcased what great teamwork can achieve.
Braeden Guenther
Project Manager

I joined Geller’s in 2019, bringing with me a love for working with my hands that started early, learning how to tile from my father. Those skills and values stuck with me, shaping the way I approach every project today.
​
While I enjoy all aspects of landscape construction, my true passion lies in hardscaping and masonry. I take pride in the details, ensuring every project is built to last and will bring joy for years to come.
​
Outside of work, you’ll often find me outdoors, guitar or drumsticks in hand, enjoying music and fresh air in equal measure.
Stratton Pastetnik
Landscape Foreman

I started out in lawn maintenance back in high school, then gradually expanded my skills into decks, fences, and landscaping.
Over time, I took on concrete restoration and installation, all valuable experience that eventually led me to specialize in pool installation.
​
I love every part of this work, but if I had to pick a favourite, it’s seeing the finished product and knowing our clients are happy and grateful. Watching a pool go from a big hole in the ground to a beautiful, fully functioning fiberglass oasis with all the important steps in between, it never gets old.
​
My proudest achievement, though, is becoming a father and watching my two kids grow up every day.
Sean Wilde
Pool Project Foreman

I’ve always loved working with my hands, and that passion drove me to earn my Red Seal certification from Red River College.
​
There’s something deeply satisfying about building structures that stand the test of time knowing that our clients will enjoy them for years to come makes every challenge worth it.
​
When I’m not working, you can usually find me out fishing, playing hockey, or winding down with a good movie night after a long day.
Tanner Bridge
Carpentry Foreman

I started working with Geller’s in 2022, but it hardly feels like work because I truly love what I do!
​
From cutting grass to curating lawns and everything in between, I’m dedicated to making sure your outdoor space looks its best.
​
When I’m not working, nothing brings me more joy than spending quality time with my kids, they’re my biggest inspiration.
Eric Wahl
Maintenance Supervisor

Geller’s has always been my dream company to work for, and I’m beyond thrilled that it’s now my reality. What truly makes it special are the amazing people I get to work with every day.
​
With a background in marketing and recruitment, I’ve had the chance to dive into a variety of industries which range from hospitality and automotive to agriculture and startups.
Bringing brands to life and connecting the right people to the right opportunities is where I thrive.
​
When I’m not working, you’ll often find me curled up with a good fantasy novel or on the hunt for Winnipeg’s best cocktails. I also love fishing, spending time with my two cats, Captain and Sunday, and playing slo-pitch whenever I can.
Lynn Tran
Chief Marketing & People Officer

With over 20 years of experience in the construction and landscaping industry, I bring not just knowledge but a deep passion to every project I take on.
​
For me, landscaping isn’t just a job it’s a craft. I love transforming spaces and take great pride in delivering finished projects that clients truly love and enjoy for years to come.
​
Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience across all aspects of landscaping, which means I’m comfortable tackling projects of any size or complexity.
​
When I’m not working, you’ll often find me relaxing at a dog park, exploring new places through travel, or hitting the ice for a good hockey game.
Matt Toews
Business Development Manager

I spent my whole career in the travel industry until Matt approached me in May 2016 about joining the Geller’s team and I haven’t looked back since.
​
What I love most about this job? The people, hands down!
I’m the youngest of six kids, and growing up in our house, cheering for the Toronto Maple Leafs was non-negotiable thanks to my dad, the biggest Leafs fan you’ll ever meet. We’re still loyal supporters to this day… Go Leafs Go!
​
When I’m not working, I cherish weekends at the cabin with my daughter and my partner, Darren.
Jacqui Bell
Office Manager

Gellers was my first introduction to the landscaping world back in 2017 and it sparked something big. That early experience inspired me to pursue a degree in Environmental Design at the University of Manitoba, and I’ve been hooked ever since.
​
What I love most about this work is the creativity. Designing spaces that are not only beautiful but also deeply personal and knowing that clients will enjoy them for years to come is incredibly rewarding. There’s nothing better than seeing their excitement as a vision comes to life.
​
Outside of work, I spend as much time as I can at the lake, especially in the sunroom with a good book in hand. I also share life with my standard poodle, Eddie...The world’s best reading buddy.
Alyssa Auch
Lead Design Project Manager

I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Design at the University of Manitoba in 2024, with dreams of one day pursuing a Master’s in Water Management. I’m passionate about the way design can interact with natural systems — especially water — to create more sustainable, meaningful spaces.
​
Growing up, I moved every three years, and I’ve had the chance to travel often as I’ve gotten older. Those experiences have given me a deep appreciation for different cultures and design styles, something I try to weave into my work whenever I can. I’m always eager to keep exploring and gaining new perspectives, both professionally and personally.
​
In my downtime, you can usually find me reading, wandering Winnipeg on foot, or butchering beautiful music on my cello (enthusiasm: 10/10, skill level... a work in progress).
Kyra Kwiatkowski
Design Project Manager

I joined Geller’s in 2015, back when the landscape construction division was just five people strong. Since then, I’ve grown my skills and worked my way up to become a landscape foreman, with the privilege of contributing to countless projects across Manitoba.
​
What I love most about my job is being outdoors during the summer, transforming spaces into their best possible version and knowing they’ll be enjoyed for years to come. There’s something incredibly satisfying about seeing the impact of our work long after the tools are packed away.
​
When I’m off the clock, you’ll usually find me at the park with my little Pomeranian, Thor, lacing up for rec league hockey, or cheering on at just about any sports event Winnipeg has to offer.
Roland Houliston
Landscape Foreman

I’ve been part of the Geller’s team for the past five years, and making your property shine is what I do best!
​
My favourite part of the job is building patios, creating spaces where memories will be made for years to come, all while working in my favourite place to be: outdoors.
​
While Manitoba’s warm summer days are my dream work environment, once the cooler months roll in, you’ll almost always find me out on the ice, fishing every chance I get.
​
Mathew Gagne
Landscape Foreman

When I was 15, my brother Matt introduced me to the industry honestly, I didn’t really have a choice after that!
​
What I love most about this job are the people I get to work with and the chance to see unique projects come to life from start to finish. Every day brings something new and exciting.
My proudest achievement? Marrying my best friend and the love of my life. Oh, and I’m also a 3-time fantasy football champion and 2-time fantasy hockey champion so I like to think I bring a winning spirit to everything I do!
Jesse Bell
Project Manager & Estimator | Carpentry

I started my career in 2012, cutting residential lawns before moving into the golf course industry, where I spent over six years honing my skills.
​
What drives me is making a real difference on every property I work on and seeing all our hard work and cultural practices come together to achieve one shared goal: total customer satisfaction.
​
I’m proud to hold a Red Seal in Landscape Horticulture and have also graduated from Fire Fighting College.
Off the clock, my beautiful wife and two little boys keep me happily busy every day.
Jackson Mitchell
Maintenance Division Manager

​
I'm a Red Seal Landscape Horticulturist with over a decade of experience in urban farming and landscape maitenance. Every garden I come across excites me, and I'm always eager to learn more about plants and everything plant-related.
If you asked my mom, she'd tell you my love for flora has been clear since I was very young... maybe my flora-filled wardrobe was a hint of what was to come!
No matter if I’m caring for a formal garden or a prairie meadow, my goal is always the same: to help each space be its absolute best.
I’m passionate about creating unique, welcoming landscapes that pull people outside and inspire curiosity about the world around them.
Britany Marsolais
Horticulture Manager

I’m the person behind the camera bringing Geller’s stunning projects to life through photos, videos, and storytelling. With a background in photography, marketing and occupational health and safety, joining Geller’s felt like the perfect way to blend my creative side with my industry roots.
​
From capturing jaw-dropping landscapes to sharing the stories of homeowners turning backyard visions to life, I love showing off the magic our team creates. Plus, I get to spend my days basking in some seriously gorgeous scenery. Not a bad gig!
​
Outside of work, I’m all about lifting heavy things at the gym, recharging at the lake, and keeping up with my four amazing (and very busy) kids.
Krista Hawryluk
Marketing & Media Manager

I’ve been in this industry since I was 15, starting at Geller’s by literally knocking on doors and saying, “Hi, I’m Matt, and I’d love to cut your grass.”
​
What keeps me going are the friendships I’ve built over the years with clients, staff, and vendors all working together to make outdoor living beautiful. Honestly, I rarely sleep because I can’t wait to wake up and get back to work!
​
In my humble opinion, the team we’ve built at Geller’s is the best damn landscape group in the industry. And the greatest joy of my life is watching my son Beano grow up alongside my amazing wife, Madison.

What drew me to landscape design is the way it beautifully blends aesthetics, functional planning, and creative problem solving all things I’ve always loved.
My passion for plants and being outdoors led me to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Landscape Design & Urbanism, and it’s been the perfect fit ever since.
​
There’s something incredibly fulfilling about designing spaces that not only look beautiful but also feel good to be in places that bring people joy, comfort, and connection.
​
When I’m not designing, I love spending time with my family, challenging myself with new piano pieces, and working on new yoga poses, always reaching for a little more balance and growth, both on and off the mat.
Alyssa Lambkin-Anderson
Design Project Manager

I began my career in the industry back in 2011, starting with residential lawn maintenance. Over the years, my role has evolved, but one thing has remained the same, that my favourite part of the job is the people.
Whether it’s meeting a new client, welcoming a new team member, working with a sub-trade, or connecting with a supplier, I love hearing their stories and building those relationships.
​
Outside of work, I share life with two energetic yellow labs who are always up for an adventure. I spend much of my free time hunting, fishing, and exploring everything the outdoors has to offer always looking for the next great story to tell.
Brandon Sutherland
Construction Division Manager

I joined Geller’s in 2017, starting out in the maintenance division for four years before making the leap to landscape construction.
Seeing the incredible spaces we created inspired me to pursue my Red Seal in Landscape Horticulture, a milestone I proudly achieved in 2023.
​
What I love most about my work is the variety. Every day brings something new to learn and a fresh opportunity to bring unique landscape products into our customers’ yards, creating spaces they can enjoy for years to come.
​
Outside of work, I like to stay active, whether that’s hitting the gym at the local YMCA, playing football, or taking my dog, Leonard, out for a walk.
David McGarey
Landscape Foreman

I got my start in landscaping at 17, and from day one, I knew I’d found something I love.
​
What keeps me coming back is the chance to work alongside great people and build some pretty amazing spaces. Honestly, what’s not to love?
​
Fun fact: I’m a huge fan of blues and rock music, it’s the perfect soundtrack for any project!
Michael Patton
Landscape Foreman

I chose carpentry because it’s in my blood, my dad was a carpenter, so I’ve been around the trade my whole life.
What I enjoy most about my job is the incredible crew I get to work with every day and the chance to craft with high-end products that really stand out.
​
When I’m off the clock, you’ll usually find me at the park with my dog Molly, she totally rules!
Jagger Martins
Carpentry Foreman

More about Mat, coming soon!
Mat Mol
Lawn Care Manager

I started my career back in 1998, picking and shipping parts at a truck dealership. From there, I moved into shop cleaning and eventually got hands-on working on trucks.
​
What I enjoy most about my work is the challenge of solving problems on the wide variety of equipment in the Geller’s fleet. No two days are ever the same, and that keeps me motivated.
My proudest achievement so far is earning my Red Seal Journeyman Truck Technician certification, a milestone I’m really proud of.

I’m a creative at heart with a background in Communications and a true passion for storytelling, which makes marketing the perfect fit for me.
​
What I love most about Geller’s is… well, everything! Being part of a growing team, working toward a bigger mission, and collaborating with such an amazing group of people makes every day feel meaningful and exciting.
​
When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me outdoors, exploring new foods, sipping on matcha, and hanging out watching a movie with my cat, Snowflake.
Mackenzie Oliver
Marketing & Events Coordinator

Over the past 10 years, I have honed my skills and expanded my experience in administration, with a client-focused purpose. I have worn many hats from owning my own business, to working with non-profit organizations, to helping administer professional sports teams. All of which have given me a deep appreciation and understanding of business.
​
Geller's has been a dream come true for me professionally. The culture, people and leadership are all guided by the same principles that make me who I am: passionate, caring, quality driven, and fun. For me, working for Geller's is the culmination of my success and I am thrilled to be on this journey!
When I'm not working you'll often find me chilling out with my cats Benjamin, Arthur, and Ninja, with my partner watching our "british Shows" or heading to the lake to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Nature is my happy place!
