It’s reassuring to know there are still companies like Great Canadian Landscaping who care about the quality of workmanship and provide top notch customer service. Unlike many companies who seem to vanish once they receive their money, GCLC aims to retain a relationship with customers after the project is complete. If you want a community-minded company to take care of your yard, look no further. **★★★★★ — HU-444749603, March 2021** > We had GCLC redo our backyard last year just as the pandemic started to happen. The job included building a retaining wall, tiling most of the backyard, installing a new fence, installing lighting and building a large planter box that spans the length of the new fence. The team at GCLC made us feel like we were in great hands right from the start. Their professionalism was outstanding and the quality of the work was excellent. We're extremely happy with the end result. There's more work we need to get done out there in the next couple of years and we're definitely going to hire GCLC for that as well. **Comment from The Great Canadian Landscaping Company Ltd.:** > Thank you so much for the positive comments. We are glad you are enjoying your new landscape! Can't wait to work with you on your next project. > > Chris and team **★★★★★ — HU-28469368, Nov. 2020** > We've had three different projects done in our yard by GCLC. Each time the crew was efficient, professional and more than met our expectations in terms of teamwork and going the extra mile. Sarah offered good advice in planning and getting the work underway. The crew that came to do the work impressed us with their level of experience and the amount of personal effort put into the job. We were very happy with the outcome and will use GCLC again if more yard projects come up for us in the future. Thanks to everyone who worked here! **Comment from The Great Canadian Landscaping Company Ltd.:** > Thank you so much for the positive comments and review. We have enjoyed working for you as well. **★★★★ — Wendral Court, Feb. 2020** > We have been using GCLC (Great Canadian Landscaping) for a year for our Strata's landscaping and we started using them for Snow removal this year (2019-2020). Our previous company over salted and killed a number of our garden plants as well as an expensive hedge. As well their attention to snow clearing was lacking at best. I was constantly out clearing our walkways and the city sidewalks that where our legal responsibility. GCLC uses IceMelt, a pet safe product, and a much more careful and thoughtful application that seems to not affect our plants as much, AND the "gold star", the snow clearing is down to the concrete. Our sidewalks are clearer than our neighbours! The areas around entrances, recycling and garbage areas are thoroughly cleared making me worry less for my older neighbours whom the slippery conditions are a hazard. Thank you GCLC! Wendral Court Strata North Vancouver **★★★★★ — Carol and Doug Tallman, Nov. 2018** > We did a major landscaping renovation with GCLC in 2018, involving drainage, recontouring slopes, replacing walls, installing gardens, plantings and driveway. We were completely satisfied with the work and we are happy with the result. We do not hesitate to recommend this company to others: they are honest, competent and go out of their way to make sure the client is satisfied. **Comment from The Great Canadian Landscaping Company Ltd.:** > Carol and Doug, > > Thank you for your review and comments on the work completed. We enjoyed creating your new landscapes and appreciate your business! We hope you enjoy it for many years to come. > > Chris **★★★★★ — Sandra Grant, Nov. 2018** > Recently, Great Canadian Landscaping Company built two new trellises in my back garden. I couldn’t be more pleased with their work! The two young men who removed the old trellises and built the new ones were professional, friendly, hard working and innovative. They exceeded my expectations and reassured me that competent workmanship and fair pricing are still available when you choose the right company to do the job. **Comment from The Great Canadian Landscaping Company Ltd.:** > Sandra, > > I am so glad you are happy with the end result. We appreciate the positive comments and the team enjoyed creating your new custom trellises. We look forward to working with you in the future. > > Chris **★★★★★ — dkp12332, March 2018** > We highly recommend Great Canadian for any project! Chris and the team took a muddy, slanted, overgrown jungle and a ‘condemned’ deck and turned it into our dream backyard. The team was friendly, professional and skilled. Great Canadian managed everything; we loved the continuity throughout the project and not having to deal with multiple trades. They did our design (Josh is the best), built a deck, stairs and fences, installed pavers and turf, gardening, irrigation, and lighting. I wouldn’t hesitate to book any project (big or small) with GLCC. Thanks to everyone for the great job! > > Lisa and David **Comment from The Great Canadian Landscaping Company Ltd.:** > David and Lisa, > > It was a pleasure to transform your back yard into a space you can enjoy year round. Thank you for trusting our team to bring your dream to a reality. > > Chris **★★★★★ — Corey Flom, Dec. 2017** > Great Canadian Landscaping did an absolutely fabulous job with our project. We get compliments almost daily from those walking down our street commenting on how great our yard looks. They are very professional and are always available for answer any questions. Great local business! **Comment from The Great Canadian Landscaping Company Ltd.:** > Thanks Corey for the positive comments on our teams work. We appreciate the opportunity to work with you on your project. **★★★★★ — Marion Porter, Nov. 2017** > We have had Great Canadian Landscaping Company repair and maintain our preschool's playground equipment and grounds for a number of years. There were able to give me an estimated quickly and scheduled work around our hours. The guys were pleasant and completed the work on time. They listened to our needs and were able to make suggestions to better the yard. **Comment from The Great Canadian Landscaping Company Ltd.:** > Thanks Marion for your comments. We appreciate them a lot and always enjoy working for you and your team maintaining or improving the playground areas. **★★★★★ — lmglen, Sept. 2017** > Great Canadian Landscaping carried out a full backyard renovation including building a substantial gazebo and fitting a full built-in outdoor kitchen. The project was professionally managed and although delayed by the bad weather over the winter and spring was still delivered ahead of the summer and on budget. The company worked very closely with us during the design and construction process. Their staff are professional, well presented and punctual and the site was always left clean and tidy at the end of each working day. **Comment from The Great Canadian Landscaping Company Ltd.:** > Linda and David, > > Thank you for your kind words... we were very blessed to create your new outdoor living space and renovate your back yard. Thank you for trusting our design and installation team to make your back yard the one you always wanted. We hope you have many great parties back there into the future. > > Chris & team **★★★★★ — Kelly LaVallie, Sept. 2017** > I highly recommend Chris and his team. As the last major step in the construction of my new home, I was very ready to have the entire project wrapped up. Perhaps even a bit impatient! Great Canadian listened to what I wanted and ran with it. I was able to rely on them fully and felt completely comfortable taking a long vacation in the middle of the project. I felt like Chris and his entire team really cared about the project. They took pride in the end result and I couldn't be happier. **Comment from The Great Canadian Landscaping Company Ltd.:** > Thank you Kelly for those amazing words... you were a great pleasure to work for and our team is so proud of the end result. Thank you for trusting us to complete your landscape transformation even while you were away. **★★★★★ — Tom Kirk, July 2017** > I have worked with The Great Canadian Landscape Company on several projects where they have installed our Romex Grout products. It was a pleasure to work the guys, who were attentive, and eager to produce a fantastic final product for their client. I noticed they were very organised and their sites looked professional! **Comment from The Great Canadian Landscaping Company Ltd.:** > Hi Tom! > > Thank you very much for your kind words and review! We really appreciate working with you, and look forward to many more opportunities in the near future! ## Selected projects - [West Van Oasis](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/west-van-oasis-pj-vj~7132707) - Location: West Vancouver, BC - Photos: 16 - [Riding the Wave](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/riding-the-wave-pj-vj~7134618) - Location: North Vancouver, BC - Photos: 11 - Description: Custom Coach House with all custom designed concrete walls, custom "wave" design element patented by our client Michael Renning, green roof, solar panels, led landscape lighting, irrigation and west coast inspired planting. - [Glendinning Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/glendinning-residence-pj-vj~2707537) - Location: North Vancouver, BC - Photos: 12 - [Grace Crescent](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/grace-crescent-pj-vj~27105) - Location: North Vancouver, BC - Photos: 20 - [Campbell Residence - North Vancouver](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/campbell-residence-north-vancouver-pj-vj~631116) - Location: North Vancouver, BC - Photos: 61 - [Rempel Residence - North Vancouver](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rempel-residence-north-vancouver-pj-vj~414825) - Location: North Vancouver, BC - Photos: 9 - [Church Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/church-residence-pj-vj~2634898) - Location: North Vancouver, BC - Photos: 12 - [Bossons Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bossons-residence-pj-vj~338611) - Location: North Vancouver, BC - Photos: 4 - [Landscape Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/landscape-lighting-pj-vj~840752) - Location: North Vancouver, BC - Photos: 29 - [West Point Grey Academy](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/west-point-grey-academy-pj-vj~2045322) - Location: Vancouver, BC - Photos: 22 - [Szoc Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/szoc-residence-pj-vj~1026814) - Location: North Vancouver, BC - Photos: 16 - [Mason Residence - North Vancouver](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mason-residence-north-vancouver-pj-vj~1026793) - Location: North Vancouver, BC - Photos: 7 - Description: We turned an ugly Exposed Aggregate patio into a place where one can enjoy the elements and entertain in style.
