Our
Story
We’re Jorden and Jessica—founders of Sacred Ground Contracting and partners in life as well as business.
Jessica is Indigenous and grew up in a small northern town, where a love for the land, community, and service was part of everyday life. She spent years working in healthcare as a midwife, and later in Indigenous family support and outreach roles, always focused on helping people and building strong connections.
​
Jorden grew up in Muskoka and spent much of his career working fly-in, fly-out as a heavy equipment operator in remote northern communities. His hands-on experience eventually led him into the hydroseeding and land services industry.
​
We met in Ontario during a time of change for both of us. When Jorden co-founded a hydroseeding business, Jessica worked alongside him, supporting operations and learning the industry from the ground up.
​
After facing personal loss and major life changes, we decided to take a leap of faith: we left our jobs, sold what we owned, and started fresh in Nova Scotia. Today, this is home. We’re building our future and family here, and a business rooted in care, accountability, and respect for the land.
​
We love supporting healthy landscapes and contributing to projects that make a lasting difference. As a small, owner-operated company, we take pride in being hands-on, reliable, and deeply connected to the communities we serve, whether they’re local and rural clients, municipalities, First Nations communities, or industry partners.
