My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

The team at True Scape has been very helpful in my rather large landscaping project. From the initial meeting with Joe, to the design with Da, to implementation with Ian and the crew, it's been a rather long engagement as we've had to ensure proper scheduling with our home remodel working in parallel. The initial assessment and design was great, and we appreciated the renderings to envision the space. We were able to align on a vision pretty quickly with only a few small revisions. Once we got started on the actual landscape construction, we had numerous discussions to ensure the plan was followed and that my concerns were addressed with workarounds and change orders. Even when I hit a snag with other contractors, they stepped in to help rectify the issues. One of the only things that I think they could improve on is a bit more communication around timing of certain aspects. It was sometimes a challenge to know what to expect with so many moving parts. That said, I think exact dates are probably tough given the scope of my project as well as the different adjustments we needed. Through it all, the foreman (Ian) was super helpful and the rest of the crew worked tirelessly to get the job as close to the original plans as possible. I now have a yard surrounding my home that uses the space much better, and compliments my new renovated home. I recommend this team to anyone thinking about a large project. They are definitely up to the challenge!

Hired for design plus major landscaping project (including building a deck) for our backyard. Responses were prompt and interactions were professional & pleasant. Vendor was patient with our questions and worked with us to address questions, concerns, and edits.

TrueScape completely transformed our backyard! They captured exactly what we wanted in the design stage, including ideas we didn't even know we wanted until they showed us! Ian was great as our field supervisor and adapted well to problems cropping up, like when a tree fell during a storm. The only real problem we encountered was that the timeline was much longer than planned.

First time diving into a “large” landscaping project. Although intimidated after interactions with many other companies, the team at Truescape made me feel comfortable and they were willing to educate me on many aspects of my project I was definitely uninformed in. From start to finish, the Truescape design and construction team were awesome. Great and efficient communication throughout. The design process was easy and collaborative, while the construction process was quick and efficient. Super happy with the results and would recommend to anyone for any project!

Following an awful contractor experience on our bathroom remodel riddled with failed inspections, I knew we had to find someone we could trust to lead our ECA steep slope zone retaining wall replacement. Enter Truescape! From day 1, I appreciated their clear, proactive communication and transparency, and this lasted from design through permitting and construction. Da, Joe, and Ian supported us every step of the way, ultimately getting the new wall installed and approved by the city just in time for the rainy season cutoff. Along with the wall, we put in a new patio and walkway extension which turned out great. Would definitely recommend!

My family and I have been really impressed and delighted with the design and quality of our home landscaping from True Scape Design. The initial design process went very smoothly with their team helping us quickly create a plan to meet our needs. The initial design presented to us was so consistent with what we had described, but added creative adjustments to make it even better than we could have imagined. Throughout the project, the team has communicated with us, and delivered on the plans effectively and efficiently. We are so happy with the results, and would not hesitate to work with them again. We wholeheartedly recommend True Scape Design to our friends and family.

Our experience with True Scape Design was perfect from beginning to end. Both the design and construction teams were easy to work with and worried (on our behalf) about the little details. An example: They spent an additional 3-4 hours removing a flagstone to move it a few millimeters. I would have never noticed the imperfection. The number of comments we get on how beautiful our backyard looks now is countless. Thank you!
