Distinctive Landscapes

Look no further if you are in the market for high quality detail oriented landscaping and hardscaping! Professional, friendly and on time. It was evident to me upon meeting Rich for the first time that he had a strong passion for what he does and he truly cared and listened to my ideas and opinions to turn our backyard oasis dream into a reality. I’m one of those people that has a hard time envisioning ideas and Rich was extremely patient with me and helped explain ALL of his ideas (which are endless) in great detail and even showed me many pictures from his past projects so that I could feel comfortable knowing that no matter which direction we took, the end result would look incredible. My favourite part of the project was when we met at a nursery to hand pick some of the focal point trees, shrubs and plants that would eventually make their way into my backyard. Whenever I wasn’t sure about choosing between one tree or another, Rich explained the pros and cons so I could make an informed decision. His attention to detail is incredible and we are truly blown away at how amazing our backyard looks now. I would not hesitate to recommend Distinctive Landscaping to anyone who has discerning taste and wants the best.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with both Rich and Davis. From the beginning, planning with Rich was exciting and easy, and then they were able to bring our vision from paper to reality. Now we sit, splash and laugh in our HAPPY PLACE If you are looking to transform your backyard into an Oasis, we would highly recommend Distinctive Landscapes! The most happy clients, Tanya & Adam

Today I can sit in my backyard that looks like I have went to a 5-star resort but instead I am just stepping out my backdoor. Two years ago we decided to put a pool in. After meeting with several companies, we were put in touch with Richard from Distinctive Landscapes to discuss the soft/hardscaping. Once we met him, our decision was made. Richard is detail oriented, cares about quality, is responsive and will always make it right. We completed a full yard upgrade including pool, full landscaping (front and back) and new driveway. It was a huge project. It could be expected that there would possibly be bumps in the road along the way (particularly with Covid) but Richard rolled with it and time and time again made it clear why we trusted him from the outset. To me, it is not an issue if everything does not go as per plan but it does matter if the person you hired to do the work cares enough to correct it or find a solution. If customer service, quality workmanship and professionalism matter to you, look no further than distinctive landscapes. The whole team including Andrew and Geoff will make your dreams come true.

Wow, Wow, Wow!!!! Richard and his team at Distinctive Landscapes delivered!!! We had a vision for our new pool and backyard escape and Richard made that dream come true. He stayed within budget, his team worked hard and completed the project promptly and on time. I have no doubt that we will be staying in touch for future landscape/hardscape projects in the future. Guests at our home are in awe when they step into our backyard and we feel like we are relaxing at a tropical resort. Thank you Richard and the Distinctive Landscapes crew!!

Rich and the Distinctive Landscapes team were fantastic! Professional and efficient despite the supply challenges with Covid our project was completed with precision and attention to detail. They were a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend them.

Distinctive Landscaping (Richard) has been an astonishing firm to deal with. Rich was originally contracted to do the entire backyard (hard/softscape, lighting) around a new pool. After seeing his entire vision and attention to every one of our needs, including our preferences of plant maintenance/ cover (maybe the best arborist we’ve spoken with) - we got him to work on our front as well. His crew is as efficient and professional as they were personable, did a bunch of extra heavy lifting for us. Despite the difficulties of the past year dwindling supplies, Rich had all the it procured and ready to go. His immense patience, aesthetic sensibilities, knowledge and flawless execution speak to a unique dedication to his craft.

Best experience ever!!! Distinctive Landscape’s team completed my project on time and on budget! I was fairly nervous about doing a big backyard project, but they walked me through the details several times in advance. During the course of the project they showed up at 7 am every day, and worked diligently until 5 or 6 each day. I will definitely recommend them highly and use them again myself.

I don’t normally reach out to write reviews online, however, the experience I had with Rich and his team at Distinctive was exceptional. Rich shared the level of care and concern for detail that we as homeowners had in this project, from the idea stage to the finished product. He was patient, listened to our concerns and every-time something came up he patiently explained the process, answered our questions and delivered. His work is top notch and he is a dynamic thinker who is willing to think outside the box. We are thrilled with our backyard project and look forward to working with Rich in the future on other projects around our house.

Rich and the team at Distinctive Landscapes were so amazing to work with. From the very start it was obvious that Rich was extremely detailed and that level of attention carried through the entire project. His team was professional, driven and worked so quickly (even through the hottest days of the summer). I'd recommend Distinctive Landscapes to anyone who is looking to create their outdoor oasis.

Rich and his team were great to work with, right from the design process to installation. Quality of work and attention to detail were excellent. Rich was always on time for appointments and responsive to emails and phone calls. True professionals.

If you want your dreamed backyard to become a reality, be done on time and at the price it was estimated at the beginning, Distinctive Landscapes is your company. Working with Richard was a pleasure. Very professional, ready to take your call and also always available to explain all the steps of your project. Further more, not like other constructors, your site will look spotless at the end of the project. We had no problems at all with this reliable company. You will not be disappointed if you chose Distinctive Landscapes for your project.

It was very refreshing to work with a team that actually does what they say they will do. Rich was a pleasure to work with right through from requirements, design, material choices, project timeline, budget to final product. Andrew and his crew kept an organized and clean job site while producing a quality product. We really can't say enough about Rich and his team at Distinctive Landscapes and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Heather and Dave.
