“Gary van Eijk is a great talent when it comes to landscape design. He is professional, detail oriented and extremely creative. We have worked together on a multitude of projects and each shared client has enjoyed the seamless interaction between the disciplines of home and landscape design. We highly recommend Gary van Eijk and his team at Uncommon Ground Design Group.”

“We recently used Twenty Creek to redo our backyard. We had the fence replaced, a deck removed, old concrete patio removed and a larger paver patio installed as well as the whole yard regrarded with retaining wall planters and new sod. From the very first meeting with Luke, we felt like a valued customer. He was amazing at giving suggestions and ensuring he understood what it was we wanted as a final outcome. They started late April and as soon as everything was ripped apart the rain started and seemed to never end! The conditions these guys worked through were truly horrible. No matter how deep they sunk into the mud, they were always the most pleasant, professional contractors we've dealt with. Through these conditions, they made us a patio that is truly a work of art! A retaining wall planter that was so much more than we hoped for. A fence that makes us smile and a graded yard that is now perfect for our Granddaughter to play on. We knew what we were hoping to have at the end and we can truly say that this team blew any and all expectations out of the water. Luke was constantly in contact to ensure we were happy with the progression and to see if we had any concerns. The team were unbelievable embassadors for the company. Every single one was friendly, professional and so talented! This is the first contractor/company we can honestly give our 100% support to. We can't wait to work with Luke and the team again! Thanks so much to all of you! Stephanie & David”

“We had our entire backyard taken from nothing to a dream oasis. Richard and his positive, respectful crew, worked with us until every detail we envisioned was a reality. They began by setting the grades for the entire project including the work to be done by our pool contractor. After that, they created natural retaining for our very sloped yard, constructed a concrete sports pad, laid flag stone, built a natural stone BBQ, fireplace, water fall, and pool house. Their attention to every detail is exactly what my wife and I were looking for. The crew finished by creating beautiful beds and plantings to suit our vision. Some of the things outside of their landscape skill set that we truly appreciated was their daily clean up, their respectful nature to our children and their constant willingness to listen to our thoughts. We would highly recommend Richard and the LandArt crew.”

“I have been through many renovation projects in my career that were both larger and smaller in scale but none with a Contractor that was as professional and patient as Richard Thorne-Botham. Communication skills are key in renovation projects, especially ones at your own home and Richard has this covered! From our 1st meeting, to the countless meetings thereafter, to working over 3 seasons since we started in the fall then finished in the spring and to still be contacting Richard over a year after our job was completed and having Richard responsive as ever, the experience has been wonderful. I could go on but just call Richard and you will see for yourself. I highly recommend Distinctive Landscapes!”

“I hired Planit Green twice because they did such a great job the first time (2012) I called them for another project (2014). They re-did my entire back yard...took up all old patio stones & replaced it with beautiful interlocking, installed a stone waterfall on the pool, put in gardens...did all of the planting, built in gas bar-b-que, privacy screen, built a pergola. Last Fall I had Planit Green come back & replace the steps on the side of the house. I can not say enough about this company, they are extremely professional, always had the job done when promised, all of the workers were very friendly & answered any questions I had related to the job. Planit Green went above & beyond all work that was done! I would highly recommend them!”

“Short version: Peter is incredible, and you should hire him immediately. Longer version: We met him on a recommendation after another local landscape designer proved himself an utter disappointment. We have a cute little Craftsman cottage in Elmwood Village, and we wanted a native-heavy perennial garden with some entertainment space and a little spot for our puppy. Peter delivered, and then some! He effortlessly pairs practicality with a wonderful eye for design. The very first question he asked was, "How do you envision using this space?" From there, it was all about color, the level of maintenance we were comfortable with, what plants we loved (and didn't), what sort of hardscape materials we favored, etc. He heard every single thing that was important to us, and his plans reflected our priorities. He found unexpected ways to bring our vision to life and save some money along the way. But he didn't stop there... when he heard of our plans to install a small mural along our driveway, he found two local artists for us to consult. He gave us his best recommendation for a local contractor to handle the hardscape. And then he gave us names and tips for getting the best prices on plants from local growers. He was amazing every step of the way and I can't wait to tell everybody who comes to the 2022 Buffalo Garden Walk who helped make my garden gorgeous!”

“Creative Landscape Designs has worked on two projects on my property, dramatically improving both. We would meet to discuss the project, talk about the drawing of the proposal and edit as needed. I thought that the landscape architect truly “got” my vision. Our conversations were always both cordial and professional.”

“Dave designed a landscape for me. His design was exactly what I was looking for, We implemented his design and turned out beautifully.”

“Tree Amigos provided quality, professional service from start to finish. The crew was hardworking, respectful and we loved that they left every day after having cleaned up, not just our property, but the surrounding community. It is also important for us to mention that their estimate and the final price were almost identical, in spite of a few tweaks. We could not be happier with the outcome. Hire them, you won't be disappointed!”

“GELDERMAN LANDSCAPE SERVICES: Outstanding Company! C - CREATION AND CONSULTATION: Throughout this phase of the project, Harry Gelderman visited our home a few times to see and discuss the areas in our front, side and back yards that I was interested in having improved. He was an active listener as I shared my wishes and ideas, and offered good suggestions to be considered. With his team, he was diligent in creating a design that was both plausible as well as aesthetically pleasing. The final design reflected a shared understanding of what I had chosen and desired. A - ACCOUNTABILITY: Harry was diligent in meeting or exceeding his promised timelines, and was very quick to respond to the many emails I sent throughout the process. Quotes and the “Scope of Work” were promptly provided. Workers certainly arrived early (7:00 AM) and put in full days of hard work. Harry also managed sub-contractors for some portions of the work (eg. paving, stone selection, sod) and all sub-contracted companies also performed at a stellar calibre. R - RESPECT: All transactions were professional and respectful. A positive sense of humour was evident and their receptiveness to my ongoing commentary, input and praise was always received with the utmost respect. I enjoyed the levity which enhanced the confidence and trust developed between me and all who worked here, especially Jay. Respect for my neighbour’s property was also evident as our massive project unfolded, and clean up each night was well done. This was greatly appreciated. E- EVIDENCE: The true test of a company’s efficacy is in both the process and the product. The process to achieve the desired goals exemplified their “service-oriented” mindset and delivery. As the project evolved and when I got new ideas or when queries surfaced, all workers were attentive, accommodating, and diligent in ensuring I would be happy with the product. Through the demonstration of their strong knowledge of best practices, refined craftsmanship skills and a positive attitude topped with a great sense of humour, I watched, learned, and admired them for the expertise that they brought to this project. Jay, Darren, Big Jon, Andre and John were absolutely superb! This was a large project and I certainly had many high expectations throughout, however they were patient, wise, informative and humorous. I appreciated them educating me and sharing their honesty of what they thought would look good and what might not, so I could make informed final decisions. They gave me great options to consider and I had no regrets on decisions made. Gelderman landscaping has amazing employees working there! They know their stuff! With C. (Creation and Consultation), A. (Accountability), R. (Respect) and E. (Evidence) – C.A.R.E, those working for Gelderman Landscape Services demonstrated how much they truly C.A.R.E. about their work and the customer’s happiness. I am thrilled with the results, and I highly recommend this company! Ina Fournier”
