Any questions we had were promptly answered and everyone was professional and delivered high quality products throughout. > > We approached earthscape because our garden was half finished and almost every aspect needed work, it was many odds and ends and then a few new features we wanted to do. I really appreciate that Earthscape was able to manage every aspect of the job - fencing, irrigation, hardscape, softscape, garden design, a water feature, etc. Jamie the design lead was able to take our loose ideas of what we wanted and provided options and opinions on what else would work well. Scott the project lead frequently touched base and visited before, during, and after the job to make sure everything was high quality. Jordan the site lead checked in throughout the build, sent us pictures when we were away for a part of it and walked through it whenever we were home to make sure everything was going well (which it did!). > > Really thankful for everyone who we got to work with at Earthscape and the high quality of our landscape. **★★★★★ — Gabriella Kinda-Zoretic, Jan. 2024** > We had the pleasure of working with Earthscape to complete our landscaping. From the design phase through to execution, their experience, knowledge and project management shine through! > > Adam made the design phase fun and easy. He listened to our vision and put it on paper for us to easily visualize. Changes were easily and quickly incorporated and updated. Thank you for your help and knowledge with permits as well! > > Construction started and ended on time! Ryan, Bryce and Jeremey were experienced and very considerate of our home. > > Jake managed the project with ease and always kept us up to date with with our weekly meetings to discuss what work was coming up and any changes. Changes were communicated to us and quickly priced and resolved. Invoicing was easy to understand and translated back to the quote simply without any surprises. > > It was a pleasure working with the entire Earthscape team. Thank you for a wonderful experience and bringing our vision to life! > > Would recommend to anyone looking for the best landscaping experience. **Comment from Earthscape - Landscape Design & Build:** > We are so glad you enjoyed your experience. It was a pleasure working with you! **★★★★★ — Laura, Dec. 2023** > We have used Earthscape for numerous outdoor projects. This past summer we worked with their team to develop a grass-free backyard. Earthscape worked closely with us to ensure that their proposed plan met both our needs and our budget. Everyone was professional, prompt, and a pleasure to work with. I'm looking forward to next summer when our backyard space starts to show its beauty. > > I cannot recommend Earthscape enough and know that we will use them for any future projects. **Comment from Earthscape - Landscape Design & Build:** > Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — Jeff Ostic, July 2023** > We used Earthscape to complete a riverbank improvement at our home in Fergus. The contract included a lower patio as well as steps leading to it. We then included a switch back from the patio to the rivers edge. We were very pleased with the work completed by Earthscape and would highly recommend them. They were on time, on budget and a pleasure to work with. I was especially impressed by the communication between ourselves and their people. Continual contact right through the job and final inspection. We do not hesitate to recommend them and would certainly use them again. **Comment from Earthscape - Landscape Design & Build:** > Thank you so much for your review! We do what we love and love what we do, and we are thankful for the opportunity to put that into your beautiful property! **★★★★★ — brennem, Dec. 2022** > Earthscape worked with us professionally, and within our budget, to design a beautiful backyard space with all of the elements we were hoping for. The design seamlessly incorporated the existing elements of the backyard. The whole team, from design to installation, was attentive to our requests, communicated updates regularly, and a true pleasure to work with. We are looking forward to enjoying a full season in our backyard this coming year! **Comment from Earthscape - Landscape Design & Build:** > Thank you very much for the glowing words- it makes us proud to know that we were able to provide such a positive experience! **★★★★★ — Elizabeth, Sept. 2022** > We hired Earthscape to transform our backyard from one of grass to an oasis with patio stones to make it more useful and easy to take care of, a calming place with seating to relax, gardens to fill with flowers and a shed to keep the things we use regularly at our fingertips while keeping the backyard tidy. Earthscape was our first choice from the initial consultation. They were knowledgeable, ensuring we always made the right decisions, able to provide every service or product we asked for whether by them directly or through a trusted business partner (i.e. shed), respectful of our budget, had great suggestions and were always professional. The process to complete the work was exceptional. The crew was GREAT - friendly, helpful, tidy, respectful of our and our neighbors' property (cleaning up every day) and they had excellent communication skills keeping us up to date on what was happening and timelines. The end product surpassed our expectations! Our backyard is now our happy place where we want to spend all of our time - it is beautiful and lush... the oasis we were hoping for in the midst of a big city. Thank you to Kevin and his team for giving us the backyard of our dreams **Comment from Earthscape - Landscape Design & Build:** > Thank you so much Elizabeth for your kind words! We're grateful for the opportunity to help you create your retreat! **★★★★★ — Wallace Wu, Sept. 2022** > The team at Earthscape was fantastic to work with; we've hired Earthscape for two landscaping projects to date - one in Kitchener-Waterloo and more recently a project in the GTA. We were exceptionally pleased with the final product for both projects and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Earthscape to others that are looking to landscape their property. > > The details below highlights our positive experience with the Toronto crew. > > We really appreciated how prompt, transparent and responsive everyone was (especially Kevin and Josip) throughout our entire project - from the initial consultation, inception and review of landscape designs, to construction and the follow up the team did the following summer. > > The project began with consultations with Kevin and Josip. Kevin addressed all of our questions the pertained to construction, including questions about grading and drainage, while Josip guided us through the landscaping design. Estimates were promptly and accurately provided along with the design proposals that were presented to us; Kevin and Josip worked closely with us to find ways to adjust materials and designs so that the project fit within our budget. As we looked to move to the construction phase of the project, we were met with supply chain issues because of the pandemic -- Kevin proactively kept us in the loop on availability of materials and offered alternate material choices to help bring up the timeline for construction. > > The construction crew was great - Ross, Renis, Aidyn, Matt and Kieran were super approachable while they were on site; they regularly communicated with us on what to expect next and answered questions that we had along the way. They worked meticulously with great craftsmanship. Earthscape properly ensures that the base/foundations are properly laid down to ensure that the hardscape can last a long time (and slow down/minimize settling). With natural products, there's inherently variation in colour and patterning -- they took that into consideration to ensure that the layout of the product was well blended and visually pleasing. We observed and really liked their "measure twice, cut once" approach. While working on our driveway, they noticed that the pavers were from different batches that had noticeable colour variations and they proactively worked to correct that with their landscaping material supplier. > > There were a few minor touch ups that we flagged the following summer and they were addressed promptly. > > We would hire Earthscape again without hesitation for our future landscaping projects. **Comment from Earthscape - Landscape Design & Build:** > We deeply appreciate your thoughtful review! We love what we do and we do what we love at Earthscape and we're grateful to have earned your trust. **★★★★★ — wjgriffin, Aug. 2022** > A pleasure to work with, as always. They presented a great design, were good at communicating, had skilled installers and great cleanup. > The end result is a beautiful walkway. **Comment from Earthscape - Landscape Design & Build:** > We are very grateful for the kind words! A beautiful home deserves a beautiful walkway. **★★★★★ — HU-296414916, Aug. 2022** > An excellent landscaping and design service. Our walkway and steps to the front of our home is beautiful. It really adds to the appearance and value of our home. The project management, customer relations and install team were all professional, detail oriented and customer focussed. Kudos in particular to Josip, Ryan and Scott. **Comment from Earthscape - Landscape Design & Build:** > Thank you very much for the review and for the opportunity to add to your home! **★★★★★ — HU-496049550, Aug. 2022** > Recently we completed a total backyard renovation and we had the opportunity to work with Earthscape (Kevin and Josip in particular). I rarely post reviews but because their work was so exceptional, I thought that I'd share our experience... and some photos too!! From design to execution the work delivered on all of our goals. Josip listened to our design needs and building off of our inspiration he found practical ways to execute what we wanted. We had envisioned a backyard oasis in the city and the final product exceeds our imagination. The execution team was just as fantastic as they all took such great pride in their work. No detail was too small for them to get perfect. The workmanship and attention to detail is present in every spot in our oasis. Lastly, I would single out Kevin who worked with us as the project lead. He is the type of professional everyone wants to work with. He managed our needs, led the project and continues to ensure that we are thrilled with the outcome. There is no one else I would trust work to in the future. Kevin is the guy! Cheers to the whole team and thank you for all you did. **Comment from Earthscape - Landscape Design & Build:** > Thank you so much for the review and for the pictures! It was an absolute pleasure working on your property! **★★★★★ — HU-459049347, Aug. 2022** > An excellent company with very creative designers. Josip's landscape design is beautiful and we very much love the way the steps at the front of our home and the walkway turned out. Ryan and his team did an excellent job installing the steps and the walkway as well as keeping a clean job site during the project. Scott is very hands on as a project manager and he and the team work very well problem solving and keeping everything moving along so the project was completed in a timely fashion and really well done. I do not hesitate to recommend this company. They were a delight to work with. **Comment from Earthscape - Landscape Design & Build:** > You were a delight to work for! Thank you very much for your kind words and review. **★★★★★ — Peter Nikiforuk, May 2022** > From start to finish, the Earthscape team were professional and honest with their work and their advice. Jenna walked us through every aspect of the quotation and design process and listened carefully to our ideas for the backyard. She presented multiple options and consistently guided us to the best solutions for our space. > > Scott oversaw the work from site measurement and prep through to completion - over a month's worth of work with weather ranging from sleet through 25+ temperatures in April. Because of the tightness of our inner city lot, they had to access through our neighbour's property and were as respectful with them as they were with us. > > There was constant and regular communication throughout and every issue that was raised on our end was addressed promptly and cheerfully. > > The result is a spectacular new backyard, low maintenance and perfect for entertaining. Literally the only element in the yard that remains is the air conditioning unit. It was a big job, and it wasn't cheap, but we are beyond delighted with the investment we made in hiring Earthscape. **Comment from Earthscape - Landscape Design & Build:** > Thank you Peter for your review! It was a pleasure working on your project and we are thankful to have earned your trust and respect! ## Selected projects - [Structured](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/structured-pj-vj~7057527) - Location: Waterloo, ON - Photos: 12 - [The Five Elements](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-five-elements-pj-vj~6755039) - Location: Kitchener, ON - Photos: 10 - [From Farm to Staycation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/from-farm-to-staycation-pj-vj~6755054) - Location: Elmira, ON - Photos: 6 - [Grid](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/grid-pj-vj~6507582) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 6 - [Cliffhanger](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cliffhanger-pj-vj~6507556) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [Old World Charm](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/old-world-charm-pj-vj~6507443) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 10 - [Fairway](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fairway-pj-vj~6507594) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Modern Materials](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-materials-pj-vj~6507537) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 4 - [Picturesque Paradise](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/picturesque-paradise-pj-vj~5467347) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - Description: The main intent with this project was to create a backyard pool space for living and entertaining, while preserving and complementing the picturesque setting.
