We had to change his plans completely. Always was worried about payment not quality. Overcharged for a overall poor quality design. > > Many other designers out there do a much better job for far less money. Stay away from this guy. > > Replicates a few of his outdated designs very little original thought. Emailed Michael notifying him of the quality and got no email back. **Comment from Pacifica Landscape Works Inc.:** > We were originally hired by this client to only provide a planting plan, but wanting to go above and beyond I also offered them a whole range of options to help improve their hardscape plan. When some of the suggestion were not accepted the client was concerned that the revisions were going to be charged back to him but I assured him I would include an extra free round of revisions to ensure his planting plan was revised to his liking, and I provided that round of revisions. After this was completed I did not hear from them for over three months. I then received a condescending email stating that my work was sub par even after I had done a number of additional site visits and extra revisions. I do not want to engage or provide any additional services for him as I do not feel he conducts himself in a professional manner. I have since drove by the property and it looks as though the project has slowed or stopped, and landscape installation is not even close to being commenced. A planting plan has no value if it is not installed and installed well. This client has no reference to say this planting plan is sub par as it has not been, and cannot even be visualized without its execution onsite. Every design revision they requested was provided, including an extra un paid revision. The client is also conducting work on the site which is not permitted by the City of Surrey, and we will be bringing this to their attention. **★★★★★ — Bev Kumar, March 2020** > We had our backyard re-imagined with the help of Michael. He helped design a breathtaking oasis zen space for me and my family. We are in love with our backyard and so is everyone else who see's it, over and over again. Michael is very professional to work with and introduced an equally professional team to help install the vision and help bring it to life. I couldn't have asked for more. Our backyard was a BIG investment however worth every shiny penny and we have no regrets as it brings me the serenity, peace of mind and joy every time I get a glimpse of my backyard. I would highly recommend Michael's collaboration in bringing whatever vision you may have to life. I found him by searching online for things that inspired me and it took me over a year to land on the pages of his work. The pictures of his previous work gave me the kind of vibe I was after. He was patient in understanding our specific vision and understood the details that were needed to get the result we wanted. After Michael developed the blueprint of our vision from our discussions, we were able to go back and forth with Michael and the installation team to ensure all the details were ironed out at the specs level. We kept Michael on board as a project manager during the installation phase because it's important to ensure your vision is being executed properly. We continued to collaborate until the very end and we are now in heaven every time we step outside and can sit out there for hours and time has no meaning in our oasis. We are so blessed to have come across Michael as he helped bring a piece of heaven into our lives :) **★★★★★ — eviesandison, March 2020** > Having lived in our home for 20 years, we came to a place where we were eager to embrace a complete overhaul of both our front and back yard. Our front yard was completely overgrown and blocking out most sunlight. The back yard was extremely boring, as it graced only one large area of grass where the boys used to play. It was definitely time to change things up and create a space for us to enjoy. The only problem was, that we had no idea where to begin. Although we were able to identify a few key elements that were important to us, we could not picture how these could be brought together and translate into a space that was both beautiful and functional. We knew how we wanted the end result to ‘feel’, but did not know how to achieve it. This is when Michael stepped in and came to the rescue! We happened to notice his company page Pacifica Landscape Works Inc. on the Houzz website and figured we’d give him a chance. Well, so glad we did! He was the best discovery ever! He listened so intently as we shared our hopes and dreams with him. When he returned a few weeks later and presented us with his landscape design drawings, we were absolutely speechless. His landscape design captured every single element we had discussed, translating all our various thoughts and ideas into a beautifully designed and practical space. It was super helpful to be able to see everything come together on paper. It gave us the opportunity to visualize the end result and make any changes to the project prior to or during its commencement. The landscape design drawings were detailed, to scale, and offered a great reference point for the crew to install the design. Thank you, Michael! You have been an incredible gift to us and we will be forever grateful to you for helping us create our dream yard. You have been an immense pleasure to work with. Not only are you a man gifted with an exceptionally unique skill set, you are a man of integrity. We would recommend you, Michael Bjorge in a heart-beat!” **Comment from Pacifica Landscape Works Inc.:** > Thank you very much Evie! It was a pleasure working for you and Darrell! I have also enjoyed seeing the garden maturing and changing throughout the seasons :) I'm very proud of your project and consider you and Darrell great friends. **★★★★★ — Robin Bjorge, Dec. 2013** > We were thrilled with the professional design and construction services of Pacifica Landscape Works for the design and construction of our outdoor living space! All aspect of design through construction were executed meticulously with great persistence to detail. The design process ensured all aspects of construction went smoothly without interruption and cost over runs. We would highly recommend Pacifica Landscape Works and the highly professional and creative abilities of owner Michael Bjorge! **★★★★★ — Grace Mok, Nov. 2013** > Mike was a pleasure to work with. We hired him to provide our front and backyard with a complete makeover. He provided with alternative design options and was very professional and honest with giving us the pros and cons of all options. He was mindful that we required a design that is easy to maintain and that it cannot exceed a certain budget. He was on top of things so we felt comfortable that the project would turn out well and on time. We were so happy with the result and received a lot of compliments during the summer when we had friends over. If you are looking for a professional who is responsible, reliable and easy to work with and has great taste, I would highly recommend Mike for landscaping design work. **★★★★★ — stephymorin, Nov. 2013** > In 2011, we hired Michael to come up with and implement the design for our rooftop patio. He was very professional, extremely patient in asking the right questions to understand our needs and was intuitive and creative to say the least. The end result was absolutely stunning and exceeded our expectation. Michael I want to thank you for designing the perfect getaway for me and my family! **Comment from Pacifica Landscape Works Inc.:** > Thank you so much Stephy! We are very glad that you are enjoying your getaway with your family and friends! > > All the best! > Michael ## Selected projects - [Garden Outdoor Art Installations](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/garden-outdoor-art-installations-pj-vj~7008880) - Location: West Vancouver, BC - Photos: 11 - [Landscape Design Surrey](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/landscape-design-surrey-pj-vj~5944955) - Location: Surrey, BC - Photos: 11 - Description: Client Testimonial Aug 2019: “My wife looked at several landscaping and design companies online and had narrowed it down to a few, and after having called and spoken to a few of them she was charmed by Michael’s friendly yet professional response from the get-go.

A: Hi Carmen, the manufacturer of the pavers was Abbotsford Concrete, and they are the Tumbled Roman pavers, in Natural, Charcoal, and i believe Taupe. Thanks! Michael **Q: Love the curved arbor** *(in Photo Questions)* I love this transformation! I wish you were in my area. I want to have an arbor on a radius exactly like this but so far can't find anyone in my area willing to do the curve. Any way to buy the plans for a do-it-yourselfer like us? A: Hi Karen, thank you for your compliments! Yes we can definitely draw up plans for you, and then you guys can execute it yourselves. We do a fair bit of on-line design, and it works great! Feel free to email through our website and we can discuss further. www.pacificalandscapes.com Thank you Michael Pacifica Landscape Works **Q: Paver info** *(in Photo Questions)* Really like the colors in this paver patio. Can you share the type and colors used? Would like to replicate this for my new patio. Thanks. A: Old country pavers, and i believe the colours were, charcoal, natural, and taupe. **Q: Decking** *(in Photo Questions)* Are the coping and decking stamped concrete? A: Hi Cindy, yes it is stamped concrete, but all of the jointing is hand carved. **Q: Gorgeous water colour! What is the interior finish?** *(in Photo Questions)* Are you able to tell me the type & colour of the interior finish of this pool? I love the water colour it creates and I'm currently trying to choose finishes for our new pool. A: Hi Kristy It is white plaster finish on the pool shell which creates this colour of the water. It is a little darker as the pool is quite deep. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-09.*
