    Hardscaping Contractors in Ottawa
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 19, 2016
    “They did a large backyard reno for us in 2014 and I have nothing but great things to say about them. Great design plan (Carole Anne is fantastic!); excellent and receptive communication; stayed on budget; clean, quiet and respectful of the neighbourhood; and beautifully finished! We have recommended them to several friends who have also had great experiences.”

    “We built a new home 10 years ago and contacted Welwyn to design the landscaping from scratch. She was always professional, pleasant and extremely knowledgable. The final design was based on Feng Shui principles and she made sure that during the construction, she was present to ensure that the huge rocks were placed in the right positions. We were delighted with the final product. We have had many people stop or ring the doorbell to ask who the designer was. A few years ago we contacted her to give the garden an update and again she was very creative and listened carefully to our needs. For the last 2 years we have been using her company to do the weekly maintenance, a new service, and again, have been very pleased.”

    “We found Green Roots Landscaping Inc. on Houzz and are so pleased that we went with their company to have our front yard designed and landscaped both with stone work and plantings. The existing front steps were closed in with an outdated garden strip so Green Roots Landscaping Inc. removed the strip, opened up the step area with a generous new patio step and patio stones and ran the open area along the driveway allowing for easier access to getting in or out of cars. The small and unsightly, even boring yard took on a new life. We now are the proud owners of a modern yard with grasses and love watching their movement in the wind! A planting of a witchhazel tree punctuates the garden and is uplighted to be admired by all that pass by. We love what Green Roots Landscaping Inc. have done with our front yard. They were professional and hard working for all that transpired in our yard, took them one day to complete. We would not hesitate to recommend this company. Thanks Ryan!”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 25, 2020
    “Stephanie was recommended to us by our landscaping contractor and our experience with her has been nothing but impeccable. From the initial meetings to discuss the needs and budget requirements to selection of material and vegetation to design changes, everything has been above our expectations. She has a keen eye on details and very forward looking to ensure designs are future proofed for proper upkeep, maintenance and future additions. She is exceptionally courteous and prompt in her client dealings and is extremely knowledgeable with plants and with lighting design. We can't wait to complete our project and enjoy our backyard oasis designed by her. Check out her website later in 2020 to see the pictures of the completed project.”

    “This is actually the 2nd project that I have hired Luc's team for, I am more than impressed by their work and professionalism. After mulitple conversations to determine the look and feel that I was heading for, Luc presented me with complete drawings, and samples of materials he would consider. He approaches the project with ideals of perfection. After consultation and a number of adjustments we were set to go! Landscaping is an art, however doing it so that it "lasts" requires engineering brilliance. Laying the proper forms, stone dust etc I have learned is more important than what goes on top! While the home had great bones, the original owner intended the house for a fast sale and therefore put little to no effort into the landscaping. This requred re excavating and working gently around existing structures such as swimming pools, septic beds/tanks etc. All stone work was completed just as the snow began to fly last December. We could barely wait to get plantings and final structures in place once spring finally came, The team was back as promised and the project continued. Steve the horticulture "expert" came frequently to our home to oversee his workers but was often caught with pruning sheers in hand, clipping and shaping, showing his complete devotion for his business and his perfectionism. We sit out every evening, rain or shine, enjoying the sound of the sheer decent fountain, the breath taking arbour, the logia with kitchen, the courtyard with wall fountain, and as the sun sets the beautiful lighting that plays shadows on the towering maples and newly planted bushes, grasses and other perennials. While some of the plantings are quite immature, I can easily imagine them in their full glory, I will happily provide pictures!!”

    “Artistic Landscape Design is a family owned business operating for more than 50 years. I had the opportunity to work with one of their landscape architects in a review of my landscaping requirements. I was able to have them transform my yard from rough patch of grass up to the pool, into a professional hardscaped and landscaped home. The work was divided into three major efforts over a series of years. It has made my home backyard an extension of our living space, and our front yard a welcoming garden with the grass replaced by flora. All the scheduled work was completed on time with great attention to detail. Upon review of the area near the pool to have an interlocking patio, it was determined that there would be too much rain and snow to allow proper drainage. At that time, onsite on the first day, a decision was made to install a French drain 4’ x 4’ x6’, connected 12 feet from the downspout. The work was professionally completed without impacting the schedule, and at no additional cost to my estimate. There was never any hesitation to work the design over several years, as I was always able to work with the same landscape architect. I never had to worry about permits, schedule, or damage to my property. In fact with the third effort, another patio and bed at the end of the pool, the company put down plywood across my driveway and existing patio to ensure the small frame equipment would not do any damage. Not only does the company do professional design, their landscape centre has a massive perennial garden, and the teams working at the sites are not seasonal workers.”
    J. Duthie Landscape Architect
    Hardscaping Contractors in Ottawa
    Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsDecember 17, 2014
    “We have a side yard, rather than a back yard, and wanted a sitting area that offered privacy from the street. We were totally lost in how to achieve this. When we approached John Duthie several years ago with our "wish list", he came back with a design that was unique to our property - a great plan that we would never have thought of on our own. John was willing to work within our budget constraints by completing the total property design over a 3 year period. The work included a large side patio area which then continued around to the area behind our house. We then had an large accent trellis placed in the front yard to continue the theme John had created and built. John was willing to use existing large shrubs and plantings wherever possible, which also helped our budget. The dedication to details and the quality of the work carried out was extremely satisfactory. Each and every time we sit outside in our oasis, we think of John's hard work and creativity. It gives us so much pleasure and will continue to do so for many years. We also enjoy all the compliments we continue to receive from friends and family who enjoy the space with us. Brenda & Ken”

    “Gardenscapes provides excellent design ideas and service to make the biggest aesthetic impact within the budget and space we had. Their designer took the time to understand how we wanted to use the space. From construction to plant materials they helped us source the best quality materials, and helped us DIY where our skills allowed.”

    Landscape Architect or Designer FAQs
    The duration of a hardscaping project can vary widely depending on the projectʼs complexity, size, material availability, and weather conditions. Smaller projects like a simple patio can take a few days to a week, while larger projects like a complete outdoor kitchen or extensive retaining walls can take several weeks to months. An experienced contractor will provide a realistic timeline upfront, factoring in planning, design approvals, and potential unforeseen delays.
    Your hardscaping contractor is a valuable resource in selecting materials that are durable, suitable for your climate, and aesthetically pleasing, ensuring that the design complements your homeʼs exterior and landscape. They can inform you about the latest trends, such as sustainable and eco-friendly materials, or timeless designs that maintain their appeal. However, trends should be balanced with personal preference and long-term practicality.
    Homeowners should clarify their budget, design preferences, and functionality needs. Researching and having inspirational images or a vision board can help communicate your ideas to the contractor effectively. Itʼs also crucial to clear the project area of personal items and, if necessary, secure permits or ensure the contractor handles permit acquisition. Discussing logistics like project access, noise, and dust management upfront can prevent misunderstandings.
    Effective communication between homeowners and contractors is key to addressing challenges. Setting clear expectations, having a detailed contract, and establishing regular updates can mitigate issues. Challenges such as weather delays, unexpected ground conditions, or material shortages require flexibility and understanding from both parties. An experienced contractor will manage these challenges professionally, keeping the project on track as much as possible.
    When meeting with a potential contractor, inquire about their experience with projects similar to yours, their process from design to completion, timeline and budget estimation, and how they handle unexpected challenges. Itʼs also important to ask for references, certification, insurance details, and how communication will be handled throughout the project. This ensures transparency and sets the foundation for a successful partnership.
    Yes, many contractors now offer eco-friendly hardscaping options, such as permeable paving, recycled materials, and locally sourced stones, which reduce environmental impact and can improve your homeʼs sustainability. Discussing these options with your contractor can reveal opportunities to incorporate green practices into your project, from reducing runoff with permeable surfaces to selecting materials that require less energy to produce and transport.
