Lavish Gardens

Lavish Gardens is amazing! I gave them a blank canvas to work with, as we had just moved into a new home, with no landscaping. Lavish Gardens turned my backyard into a tranquil oasis. The birds, butterflies, bumblebees love the gardens. The birds will bath in the river, frogs will enjoy sunbathing on a rock, dragonflies light on the lily pads, while the goldfish and koi swim about there day. I love to just sit. My backyard is such a relaxing place. I just love the work of Karina and her crew.

Karina and her crew built a pond for me last year and one for my sister the year previous. The results are magnificent additions to both properties. My pond was a challenge. It's built in a small woodland section of my property. Tree roots and large rocks abound. Karina designed the pond to minimize impact on the trees and compliment the many boulders already there, using a few of the more massive ones as the headwater setting for the waterfall. I'm now looking forward to the pond 'waking up'. Much to my surprise I actually saw one of the koi yesterday. I didn't expect to see them active at the end of March but there she was! I've signed up for Lavish Gardens biannual pond care as well. The netting worked well preventing leaves from ending up in the pond and the heater and aerator have easily kept a hole in the ice patent to prevent noxious gas buildup.

We specifically chose Lavish Gardens because we wanted to replace an old, tired lawn with a more environmentally friendly garden. Karina began our project with a preliminary on-site consultation, followed by the creation of an original design for a rain garden planted with native species which will attract birds, insects, and pollinators. Additionally, the rain garden was recommended as a way to ease the strain of storm water run-off and help rain water filter naturally back into the aquafer. The team arrived on time, when they said they would, and worked steadily and efficiently every day. They also tidied up the overgrown yard at the back of the house and were happy to reuse and relocate many plants to a side yard to complete part of the new design. Each member of the Lavish Gardens team was friendly, good-humoured, and a tireless worker. We could not be happier with the beautiful new yard they created for us--and the birds and bees,

Very creative. ,Great ideas that complimented the architecture of the home. Crew is organized and tidy throughout the project. Love the results.

Karina and the team at Lavish Gardens completed a large waterfall feature for our business, complimented with large fieldstone boulders and a full planting plan. When we approached Karina to work with us on this project she was quick to consult with us on site and create a vision for the finished landscape. The Lavish team brought this vision to life, piece by piece, virtually sculpting a feature that once complete gives you the impression that it has always been a natural part of the existing local landscape. We highly recommend Karina, Kyle and the Lavish team if you are looking to create a landscape that is intriguing, inspiring and in balance with the natural environment that we live in. If you want to add a water feature, swim pond, natural meadow or some other creative idea to the place where you live we are confident Lavish has the vision and expertise to make it come to life.

I could not have been more pleased with the work Lavish Gardens did for me over the years. My waterfall gives me so much joy every year. The various plantings around my yard has enhanced my property and I receive many compliments from friends and neighbours. I will continue to engage Lavish Gardens again this year.
