Garden Designers in Selkirk

“They did an amazing job. What made then stand out for me was that A) the worked my my schedule and had it done exactly on time and B) were constantly cleaning during the construction and landscaping. It was always a clean and professional job site”

“We had our entire backyard taken from nothing to a dream oasis. Richard and his positive, respectful crew, worked with us until every detail we envisioned was a reality. They began by setting the grades for the entire project including the work to be done by our pool contractor. After that, they created natural retaining for our very sloped yard, constructed a concrete sports pad, laid flag stone, built a natural stone BBQ, fireplace, water fall, and pool house. Their attention to every detail is exactly what my wife and I were looking for. The crew finished by creating beautiful beds and plantings to suit our vision. Some of the things outside of their landscape skill set that we truly appreciated was their daily clean up, their respectful nature to our children and their constant willingness to listen to our thoughts. We would highly recommend Richard and the LandArt crew.”

“I have worked with Paul and his team on a number of projects that they have designed. Paul's level of professionalism, integrity and commitment to his clients is exceptional. Makes the execution of what can sometimes be a complicated landscape design and installation worry free.”

“Having interviewed several other companies to design our front garden, we were struggling to find someone who could listen and translate what we were trying to accomplish into a feasible design. When we found Sam it felt like she really listened to us and when she presented her design ideas we were thrilled. It was nearly perfect right from the first draft! We love our garden and would highly recommend Sam to anyone looking to improve their landscaping.”

“Gary van Eijk is a great talent when it comes to landscape design. He is professional, detail oriented and extremely creative. We have worked together on a multitude of projects and each shared client has enjoyed the seamless interaction between the disciplines of home and landscape design. We highly recommend Gary van Eijk and his team at Uncommon Ground Design Group.”

“As an Interior Decorator I have worked with and been exposed to many trades and contractors, our experience with Earthscape was a dream. All staff is zealous about their work and you really sense that they want to be there for you to achieve the desired result. Earthscape constructed a drystack retaining wall in our backyard and a waterfall into our pool. Our initial consultation with Mark generated many great ideas and we easily came together to finalize the design decisions. The crew was on site everyday and amazingly the wall was finished on time and on budget despite terrible rain and mud. I was impressed with the excellent care they fostered on their tools and equipment, certainly indicative of the level of thoroughness executed by this company. At all times they were genuinely respectful not only to me and my family but to my elderly neighbours who were quite concerned about the whole project. We love the end result and have absolutely no hesitation recommending Earthscape.”

“Creative Landscape Designs has worked on two projects on my property, dramatically improving both. We would meet to discuss the project, talk about the drawing of the proposal and edit as needed. I thought that the landscape architect truly “got” my vision. Our conversations were always both cordial and professional.”

“GELDERMAN LANDSCAPE SERVICES: Outstanding Company! C - CREATION AND CONSULTATION: Throughout this phase of the project, Harry Gelderman visited our home a few times to see and discuss the areas in our front, side and back yards that I was interested in having improved. He was an active listener as I shared my wishes and ideas, and offered good suggestions to be considered. With his team, he was diligent in creating a design that was both plausible as well as aesthetically pleasing. The final design reflected a shared understanding of what I had chosen and desired. A - ACCOUNTABILITY: Harry was diligent in meeting or exceeding his promised timelines, and was very quick to respond to the many emails I sent throughout the process. Quotes and the “Scope of Work” were promptly provided. Workers certainly arrived early (7:00 AM) and put in full days of hard work. Harry also managed sub-contractors for some portions of the work (eg. paving, stone selection, sod) and all sub-contracted companies also performed at a stellar calibre. R - RESPECT: All transactions were professional and respectful. A positive sense of humour was evident and their receptiveness to my ongoing commentary, input and praise was always received with the utmost respect. I enjoyed the levity which enhanced the confidence and trust developed between me and all who worked here, especially Jay. Respect for my neighbour’s property was also evident as our massive project unfolded, and clean up each night was well done. This was greatly appreciated. E- EVIDENCE: The true test of a company’s efficacy is in both the process and the product. The process to achieve the desired goals exemplified their “service-oriented” mindset and delivery. As the project evolved and when I got new ideas or when queries surfaced, all workers were attentive, accommodating, and diligent in ensuring I would be happy with the product. Through the demonstration of their strong knowledge of best practices, refined craftsmanship skills and a positive attitude topped with a great sense of humour, I watched, learned, and admired them for the expertise that they brought to this project. Jay, Darren, Big Jon, Andre and John were absolutely superb! This was a large project and I certainly had many high expectations throughout, however they were patient, wise, informative and humorous. I appreciated them educating me and sharing their honesty of what they thought would look good and what might not, so I could make informed final decisions. They gave me great options to consider and I had no regrets on decisions made. Gelderman landscaping has amazing employees working there! They know their stuff! With C. (Creation and Consultation), A. (Accountability), R. (Respect) and E. (Evidence) – C.A.R.E, those working for Gelderman Landscape Services demonstrated how much they truly C.A.R.E. about their work and the customer’s happiness. I am thrilled with the results, and I highly recommend this company! Ina Fournier”

“It was a pleasure to have Frontiers Landscape Architecture to design and construct our backyard. They were willing to work within our budget and most importantly listened to our needs and wants. They were always on time, cleaned up after each day and our project was completed on time. Their professionalism, expertise and creativity made our dream backyard come to reality.”

“We hired Meaghan at Living Rooms Landscape Design to create a design for our deck and garden last summer, and she did a fantastic job! Meaghan took the time to take careful measurements, photos, and really listened to our wishes to create a beautiful design. We asked for several modifications, and Meaghan provided timely adjusted drafts for our review, and gave us additional drafts with some of her ideas we hadn't even thought of (which ended up being a design we chose!). She knew exactly what types of trees and plants would work in various parts of our yard, and used that knowledge to create a fantastic space we are thrilled with. She was easy to work with, but also very professional - we were very pleased with the process start to finish! I would highly recommend Meaghan to anyone wanting to create an amazing outdoor space for your home.”
