Aloe Designs

This is the 2nd project we have used Aloe on. Caitlin and team do a very thorough job on the design and we very much like their aesthetic.

ALOE was superb. We count ourselves very fortunate to have had their help not only in the design but also the installation of our front yard landscape. Caitlin & her team took the time to listen to what we hoped to achieve, and their design met all of our expectations. Owen was nose to the grindstone when it came to the installation. Although our house isn't new, it has been renovated, and we really wanted to create an outdoor garden/living space (as seen on many of the new architectural/modern homes) that would enhance the appeal from the street and welcome us home each day. We couldn't be happier with how it turned out and will certainly recommend them to our friends & family.

Working with aloe is a treat! From design through to execution they are extremely thoughtful, responsive and collaborative, all the while delivering on a great project which continues to bloom year after year. Couldn’t recommend them more.

From design to installation our experience with Aloe was a total pleasure. Our Aloe contact was Gwen, an extremely well organized and knowledgable project manager who we felt immediately comfortable with. Aloe has put a lot of thought into creating a streamlined design experience. Right from the start they responded quickly to all our emails. The questionnaire they sent us to gather info about what we wanted from our garden was very easy to fill out and payment was done online with a credit card. So easy! All of our questions from timeline to plant choices were answered with thoughtful and succinct feedback from Gwen. We so appreciated that she always did what she said...a rare thing these days and extremely valuable to all of us with busy lives. Her presentation of the Aloe garden design utilizing images from Houzz of the soft and hardscape really helped us envision what the design on paper would become in our space. We brought some of our own ideas to the initial meeting with Gwen and appreciated that she listened to them and incorporated and built upon some of those ideas. This made the process feel much more collaborative which meant a lot to us. Aloe also presented us with how to tackle the installation in stages so that it was financially possible for us to build our dream garden over time with them. I honestly can't say enough good things about this company, they are talented, organized and warm and we loved creating our outdoor space with them.

I have always enjoyed working with Aloe. They are good people and easy to work with, and always do a great job.

We live in the heart of Downtown Vancouver. Patio space is a rarity and when the patio is located on the 10th floor there are additional opportunities and challenges. When we first spoke to Aloe, they came over to cold concrete block flooring and wide open visibility from neighbors. Together we looked at what kind of an environment we wanted to live in. Within a few short weeks we had living plans and embarked on a ipe hardwood deck with a beautiful fence for privacy. Easy to care for plants and a lovely umbrella and furniture completed the project. Four years later the space is more beautiful than ever.

Our team always looks forward to working with Aloe on their landscape installation projects. Aloe is an organized team of professionals, who consistently produces progressive landscape ideas and designs. Whether we are lighting their hardscape details or awesome planting plans, our lighting products always look great when applied to their finished product. We look forward to continuing to work together and to bringing your landscapes to life at night. Sincerely, The Atmosphere Team!

With everything almost finished we had to write a quick note to thank you and your whole team for doing such a fantastic job from vision through to implementation. Patti and I had to go on faith a lot and you did not disappoint. The palette of shades of green and judicious use of colour, the subtle topographical changes to the east side, the overall design, the great care taken with installation and the choice of plantings are all a testament to the high quality you aspire to and achieve. So, thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts for this wonderful contribution to our home. We look forward to working with you to finish the bamboo and roof in the coming weeks and planning the garage roof for next year. If we are going to need to install support beams we might as well make it strong enough for a real rooftop garden! All the best, Patti and Les

I worked with a landscape architect to redesign the front yard at my duplex in East Vancouver, and Aloe was one of her recommended landscaping firms. The work performed by Aloe included regrading the yard, laying a paved patio and precast concrete steps, building a custom cedar fence, and planting trees, bushes and perennials. I'm very pleased with the final results, as well as the friendly, efficient and professional manner in which the work was performed. Aloe communicated clearly with both myself and my landscape architect, and were very flexible in dealing with some poor work and major delays from a gas-fitting contractor I had hired. The work performed by Aloe was completed on-budget, and all changes in cost due to scope changes were communicated upfront. I would highly recommend Aloe for other landscaping projects in the Vancouver area.

Aloe is a regular client of ours. We're honoured to have such a stellar design firm use our planters for their designs. Their designs are modern, well thought out and based on good horticultural practice and ethical standards. We'd recommend them to anyone looking for a timely, well executed landscape design. Great team too!

We have worked together with Aloe on several projects. Their landscape designs area a great compliment our modern houses. We recommend the wholeheartedly.

Outstanding!!! Caitlin and Owen and their team at Aloe Designs did a tremendous job with our comprehensive landscaping project. The scope of the project included design, excavation and hardscape (concrete planters, retaining/pony walls, walkways, custom Ipe bench and planter, boulders and beautiful Basalt pathway), lighting, and plantings throughout (from Yew and Bamboo hedges all the way down to turf and groundcover). From the design phase through to the installation it was clear from their attention to detail and professionalism, that Owen and Caitlin truly love what they do. The project went flawlessly, and was completed on schedule and on budget. We couldn't be happier! Aloe has continued to keep in touch even after the completion of the project to ensure that we have been happy and that the plants have been thriving. We would not hesitate to work with Aloe Designs in the future and would recommend them in a heartbeat.
