**★★★★★ — Rose Coulton, May 2020**

> Exceptional service, design & project management.  KFDG was creative, practical and patient with our challenging four acre property
>
> Thank you KFDG

**★★★★★ — HU-160123456, Feb. 2020**

> The team at Kent Ford Design Group provided exceptional service in designing and managing my family’s two acre cottage property. We thank them for their creativity and practicality in overcoming challenging site issues. We highly recommend Kent and his team !

**★★★★★ — John Kessler, Sept. 2018**

> “We hired Kent Ford to oversee the design and installation of our parking pad, and front and back gardens. He did an amazing job. His work was exquisitely conceived, flawlessly executed and aesthetically superb. He was attentive and available every step of the way. As well, his work has stood the test of time, and looks great two years on. Thank you Kent!”

**★★★★ — Cindy Hill, Aug. 2018**

> This alleyway was a sea of weeds with pressure treated steps and a gravel pathway.  Our view from the living room was our neighbour's raccoon infested shed.  Kent added the lucite panels, stone steps, and a covered dining area to create privacy and add function and beauty.  We've loved it!

**★★★★★ — Maryam Rashidian, July 2018**

> Professional, on time, within the agreed budget, and as close to the agreed design as realistically possible. I couldn't have asked for more.
