Could not be happier with the end result. The team at VisionScape was top notch from start to finish. The quality of the workmanship and the attention to detail was outstanding. Can't say enough about the design they provided and the finish product. They turned our backyard into an oasis that we love spending time in. **★★★★★ — Russell Kruger, May 2017** > High quality excellent work. > They were able to work within our budget. > Very friendly ownership and staff. > We are repeat customers. **★★★★★ — Kenton Rommens, March 2017** > Great company. Very knowledgeable and willing to work with us on costs and different design options. Is a very versatile company able to do very complex large jobs as well as our relatively small and moderately priced landscaping. Never made us feel like we were not forefront in their mind despite being one of the smaller jobs they had in progress. **★★★★★ — Barb and Bill Slavin, March 2017** > We have worked with VisionScapes on 3 major projects over a period of 10 years and would recommend them with the highest regard. Jeff's pride of ownership in the company is extremely evident. Visionscapes is a GREAT company, with GREAT people. What sets them apart is their creative design, highest quality workmanship, attention to detail and exceptional professionalism. They are very experienced and are conscientious about meeting deadlines and budgets while being very customer focused. **★★★★★ — Susan and John Leach, Feb. 2017** > After building our inner city home in 2005 we hired VisionScapes to do our yard landscaping. We have since had a few other "projects" that we have called on Jeff and his team to help execute. We have always been impressed with Jeff's professionalism and conscientiousness. He is creative and realistic in suggesting landscaping design and is excellent at providing solutions to unpredicted problems or issues encountered. Jeff and Ryan always seem to have the most talented, approachable and hard working individuals working with them. Overall, we are happy to recommend VisionScapes for any landscaping need. **★★★★★ — Stasia Schmidt, Feb. 2017** > Jeff and the entire team at Vision Scapes created a dream landscape for our new home. It was a challenging project, but it was executed perfectly and we couldn't be happier. They are very professional and very competent and we won't hesitate to use Vision Scapes in the future. **★★★★★ — Elaine Earle, Feb. 2017** > Vision Scapes came highly recommended from the hot tub company we have used for over 30 years. Jeff's knowledge and creative design was beyond expectations. The crew did an amazing job and took great pride in their work taking no shortcuts. They were very professional as well as just nice guys. They transformed my backyard into a relaxing beautiful oasis with a fabulous privacy screen that is a work of art as well as put in a fire pit with seating. The curved stairs add to this beautiful deck and look amazing the lighting on them and in the trees and on the screen add to the ambience. The barbeque kitchen with the stonework was constructed with great care . My fence is one of the nicest in the area and I have received many compliments. I can't say enough good things about vision scapes and I would absolutely recommend Jeff and his team to anyone who wants excellent work at fair prices. **★★★★★ — Patty McLeod, Feb. 2017** > We have hired Jeff and team twice for our landscaping. The first job was to design all aspects of our outside space as we were building a new infill house. The second job was to re-design some backyard elements and to install a patio area near a new hot tub. Both jobs required design, implementation and diplomacy (to deal with challenging neighbours and contractors). We love our sanctuary that Jeff created in our backyard and are very happy with the work. **★★★★★ — Lisa Osler, Feb. 2017** > It was my pleasure to hire this skilled and thoughtful group on two occasions. The first was a major renovation to the front and back yards of an inner city lot; the second was the crafting of a landscape for a new build. In both cases, client service and attention to detail was impressive. I felt that everyone from the owner to the crew cleaning up at the end of the day truly cared about results. I'd be thrilled to hire them a third time! **★★★★★ — Fiona Read, Feb. 2017** > Jeff at VisionScapes was a joy to work with. He was professional, creative, accommodating, and created an outdoor landscape which is both beautiful, and easy to maintain. I highly recommend VisionScapes to anyone. **★★★★ — Susan Russell, Feb. 2017** > Jeff and his team at Visionscapes were so easy to work with.Our deck was completed on time and within budget. We received excellent advice in the planning stages. Ideas that we had not thought of but ideas from Visionscapes that really enhanced the project. > We love our deck and built in fireplace! We would highly recommend Visionscapes for any outdoor project! **★★★★★ — Dave Cymbalisty, Feb. 2017** > Jeff and the fellows that work for him are the utmost professional guys. They did a total redo on our backyard and both my wife and I love it and enjoy spending time on the deck. Even after a couple of years we still get compliments on how nice our backyard looks. ## Selected projects - [West Coast Lifestyle](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/west-coast-lifestyle-pj-vj~2465139) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 10 - Description: This yard in Calgary's Northwest was designed to make the many elevation changes that initially presented plenty of construction accessibility issues seem as though the house always was planned to sit on the lot high above the street at the front of the home.

Inserts? Thanks! A: Hello! Thank you for your inquiry. The fireplace has a sister fireplace on the interior of the house. There are two separate chimneys and footings as the interior fireplace sits slightly higher due to the sub-floor elevation. These are full masonry builds.

Would you mind sharing where this stone was purchased? A: Hello. Thank you for your query. The stone came from Montana Rockworks. **Q: Window well covers** *(in Photo Questions)* Are the metal window well covers custom? And where/who made them? A: Hello! The powder-coated aluminum grates are custom made by Quest Fabrication in Calgary. **Q: Stain** *(in Photo Questions)* What kind of stain did you use on this deck and fence? A: Hello, there were 2 colors of stain used on the deck and the fence.
