Family owned. Locally rooted.
The next generation.
Our children have grown up around the business, helping with equipment and day-to-day work. Seeing them mature, take interest and accept more responsibility is one of the most rewarding parts of building Countryside together.

About us / The Countryside story
A family business.
A shared work ethic.
Cousins Scott Bieber and John Iott, together with their wives Mindy Bieber and Patty Iott, have grown Countryside through hard work, family involvement and lasting customer relationships.
Based at 8400 West Sterns Road in Ottawa Lake, our business brings together landscaping, a full nursery, excavation, trucking, farm drainage and commercial snow removal. We work on projects ranging from small property improvements to large developments.
Each member of the family brings a different strength. Together, those strengths help us care for the details and keep the whole project in view.

Relationships that grow.

Good people behind the work.
Our employees are an essential part of Countryside. Their different talents and abilities contribute to the success of the business and the work we do for our customers every day.
“We all have a strong work ethic, taking after our parents and grandparents. Hard work was in their blood.”Scott Bieber
