Horvath Landscapes

When it comes to landscaping and attention to detail, Horvath Landscapes Inc. stands out distinctively. Recently, they performed some outstanding work on our property at Kittredge Court, Richmond Hill, and their craftsmanship, professionalism, and efficiency exceeded our expectations. It is not always easy to find professionals whose work resonates with my expectations and standards. Yet, with Matt and Jenny, I found that their practical solutions matched, if not surpassed, what I had in mind. It's worth mentioning that Matt was particularly efficient in his work process. His approach to adjustments and modifications in the project was impressive. Whenever I proposed changes, he promptly initiated a straightforward change order process that precluded any complications or misunderstandings, ensuring that the project remained on track and within our agreed parameters. Jenny, the landscape architect, further enhanced our experience. Her availability and willingness to help whenever needed was commendable. Her skills and eye for detail made the landscaping stand out, and she ensured that the aesthetics and functionality of the landscape were well-balanced and suited to our property. The deciding factor in choosing Horvath Landscapes Inc. was a previous recent project they were handling the previous year. Witnessing the exemplary quality of work Scott and his team were executing convinced me that this was the company I wanted for our landscaping needs. Their reputation precedes them, and after experiencing their services firsthand, it's evident why they are held in such high regard in the Richmond Hill community. In conclusion, Horvath Landscapes Inc. is a beacon of professionalism, skill, and customer satisfaction. Their team's synergy, led by the remarkable talents of Matt, Jenny, and Scott, ensures that your property not only looks beautiful but is also a testament to quality workmanship. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking landscaping services. They are truly masters of their craft.

When I first contacted Matthew I was looking for a contractor who could take on the challenge of turning my dream backyard into a reality. I had a very particular vision and concept in mind for my space, and I wanted to work with a contractor who takes pride in their workmanship, offers innovative designs, and has a strong focus on after sales service. From the minute I contacted Matthew, I knew I had the right man for the job! Matthew has a lot of experience and is very knowledgeable. Throughout the design and construction process, he was very helpful in advising where to find the finishes I was looking for and provided valuable feedback on suitable plantings for my space and needs. Once the project was completed, I could honestly say it was a dream come true! I love my space and sanctuary.

We recently undertook a significant backyard renovation with Horvath Landscapes Inc., and we are absolutely thrilled with every aspect of the transformation. Our once plain backyard is now a spectacular retreat featuring a salt water pool, a captivating fire feature, an expansive patio for entertaining, and pristine artificial turf that stays green all year round. The project was executed flawlessly from start to finish. Jenny, the talented designer, envisioned a layout that perfectly balances aesthetics and functionality. Under Matt’s (the owner) vigilant leadership, the team navigated through every phase seamlessly. Scott’s on-site management ensured that all elements came together on schedule and with meticulous attention to detail. Roy’s proactive resource management facilitated a smooth operation without any hiccups. Choosing Horvath Landscapes Inc. for our project was the best decision we could have made. The end result is a stunning outdoor space that enhances our home and lifestyle. We wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone looking to elevate their outdoor living experience.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Matthew and Horvath Landscapes Inc for the installation of our backyard swimming pool. They demonstrated professionalism, commitment, and outstanding customer service throughout the entire process. From the very beginning, Matthew impressed us with his thoroughness. He scheduled a virtual design meeting to discuss our vision for the pool. During this session, he patiently listened to our ideas, preferences, and concerns. His expertise shone through as he provided valuable insights and recommendations. We appreciated his attention to detail and willingness to adapt the design to our specific needs. Choosing the right materials for a pool is crucial. Matthew guided us through the selection process, explaining the pros and cons of various options. He was transparent about costs, ensuring that we made informed decisions. His commitment to quality was evident as he helped us choose durable materials that would withstand the test of time.. When the pool was finally complete, we were very thrilled with the result. The attention to detail was impeccable - the pool deck, coping stones, and landscaping all exceeded our expectations. But what truly stood out was Matthew's commitment to his 2-year post-completion warranty. He assured us that any issues would be promptly addressed, and he has kept his word. It was reassuring to know that we were in good hands even after the project is finished. Matthew is not just a pool and landscape contractor; he is a partner in creating lasting memories. His dedication, integrity, and customer-centric approach sets him apart. If you’re considering a pool installation and/or landscaping work, look no further. We wholeheartedly recommend Matthew and Horvath Landscapes Inc for their exceptional service. Remember, a well-installed pool isn’t just about water—it’s about creating a space for relaxation, fun, and family gatherings. Thanks to Matthew, our backyard has been transformed into a little oasis, which we love!!

Our experience with Horvath Landscapes Inc. on our driveway and front yard redesign was outstanding. Matt and Jenny met our design expectations with their practical solutions. When changes arose, Matt’s process to accommodate them was highly efficient. Jenny’s architectural guidance was invaluable and she was always available for consultation. Matt and Carlos, alongside Mike and Yardenia, executed the work masterfully. Our project was completed in time and budget, and with much attention to detail. The introduction of armour stone, planting and lighting truly elevated our property's aesthetic. Especially at night, the landscape lighting looks stunning. I wholeheartedly recommend Horvath Landscapes Inc. for their blend of artistry and technical precision.

Matt and the team transformed our backyard into an Oasis. The team was easy to work with and were open to trying new things to get a unique and original design.

Very pleased to write this review for Matt. We have done a lot of home contracting work throughout our 40+ years of owning a variety of homes. The work with Matt was the first where we did not have issues over timing, costs, design, materials, "surprises", excuses why something can't be done that was initially agreed upon, payment schedules, etc. The whole process with Matt was very professionally handled. We had our old asphalt driveway replaced with a new driveway that was done using "placer" stone. We also had the front door access and landscaping redone along with some landscaping in the front yard. The design process was first rate and complete. The design was an innovative solution to what we wanted to accomplish. Any changes were discussed and agreed upon. The work itself was very skilled. The budgeting process was clearly laid out and modified if requested. Materials were as advertised. Costs were in line with the industry standards based upon a variety of quotes we had from a variety of contractors. The job site was kept very reasonably clean and safe when left for a weekend or at the end of each day. Communication was excellent. i never had difficulty getting touch with Matt and if I left a message I got a response within 24 hours. The team that worked on the site were very professional, friendly, worked hard, answered all the questions I had and I had no issues. I would recommend you connect with Matt if you have a landscaping job.

Matthew provided virtual consultations to bring our vision,wants and must-haves to life. He provided stunning design options from hardscape, plants, lighting & more (all in budget).We are impressed by the quality of work and attention to detail. We enjoyed working with Matthew and his talented team and always refer him when people are looking. I posted a couple of before and after pictures below. Front was done too. It is a complete transformation thanks to Horvath.

We hired Horvath Design to landscape our front entrance and install outdoor lighting a few years ago. The work was completed in a timely manner and we have been very happy with the results. They have also helped us with any maintenance quickly and at a reasonable cost. We highly recommend them!!

Horvath design did some substantial landscape work for us in 2017. We have been very pleased with the work that was done. Recently I contacted Matthew on some areas that had minor shifts. He came promptly and fixed them regardless that it was 4 years later. Great Customer Service.

Matthew is very professional and we thoroughly enjoyed working with him. He tirelessly worked with us to develop a design that satisfied all of our needs.

We needed professional help designing our backyard and Matthew made our dream come true. He listened very attentively to our needs and came up with a practical and beautiful solution. The way he transformed our irregularly shaped yard into a very inviting space was beyond our expectations. Can't wait for this design to turn into reality!

I am so grateful for Mathew and the team at Horvath Landscaping. As promised, they returned this spring to make sure our landscaping project survived the winter. We couldn’t be happier with their service! Worth every penny! I highly recommend this team for your landscaping needs.

Matthew is an extremely talented and professional landscape designer. His design for our front and backyard landscaping project exceeded our expectations. He listens to your design needs and suggests practical solutions that will fit the scope of the project. Matthew goes above and beyond to ensure the job is done properly and his team are polite and courteous to work with. We are thrilled with the end result!

The landscape design in the front and back has enhanced the beauty of our home. It was amazing to work with Matthew as he is very thorough, thoughtful and detailed in his design delivery, use of materials and line-by-line quote. It was great to have a line item quote so that we could ask questions, see how much each item cost and reduce where we wanted to save without sacrificing the overall look of the landscape design. Matthew was happy to answer all of our questions at any time during the day. His team — Scott, Rick and Roy — were fantastic to work with. They really care about their craftsmanship and ensured the landscape turned out better than we imagined and would last for years on end. They arrived promptly every morning at 8am and at the end of each day, they made sure to clean up the property to minimize dust and dirt for us and our neighbours. We’ve been enjoying our front and back yards for about two years now. Matthew has kept in touch and comes out every year to do minor touch ups so the landscaping looks healthy and beautiful! We would highly recommend Horvath Design Build for your landscaping needs. We love spending all of our summers outside enjoying our outdoor oasis!

We had our landscaping done by Matt and his team and we have been extremely pleased with the results. The landscaping has stood the test of time and changes in weather. Matt is always quick to respond and goes above and beyond to answer any questions or concerns. We would highly recommend Horvath Design Build Landscapes for your landscaping needs.

As a designer, I'm only as good as my trades and suppliers. Over the years, one develops a sixth sense about people. From the minute I met Matthew, I knew I wanted him on my team. Matthew helped me expand on and improve the vision I had for the project. He worked with me to find ways in which we could economize, so that we could afford the more expensive pavers, which would maximize the impact of our design. His style is collaborative and encouraging, his knowledge, vast. his patience, boundless and his attention to detail much appreciated. I watched Matthew and his crew show up on time, every day, no matter how dark,cold or rainy it was. I marveled at how he worked alongside his men, proving that true leadership looks more like 'follow me' than 'This is what I want you to do.' He was in constant contact with me, so I never had to wonder what was happening and he was ALWAYS available to answer any questions I had...SO REFRESHING!!! He generously made accommodations for other trades working on the house.. To say I loved working with him is the understatement of the year! I highly recommend Mathew Horvath of Horvath Design Build Landscapes, but watch out, I intend to keep him very busy. Shaila Gottlieb Montdor Interiors

Thanks Matthew! Your attention to our redoing of our driveway was a greatly appreciated. Your input and suggestions made things easy. And your team that came to do the job was fantastic and efficient. Now our driveway looks waaaay better than even when we bought the house. It may have been a small job, but you handled it perfectly from start to finish.

Our backyard project was just completed and we couldn't be happier. The workmanship is clean, consistent. Matthew and his team were very professional and always came with a positive attitude. We will definitely be working with them again in the future.

Great job by you and your crew, very profession in your approach and completion of the job. Would use again and highly reccomend your services. Thanks for a job well done.

Hi Matthew, Your team did a fantastic job on the patio in the entire back of the house, The steps are very majestic. I liked the patio lights that you suggested , they add an additional ambiance to the garden. Thanks to you and your team , we spend a good part of the day outdoors . Shekhar

Matthew and the team at Horvath Design Build did a fantastic job of putting together and executing design plan that not only made the best use of our yard but gave us a wonderful, low maintenance outdoor living space. Professionally completed, on time and most importantly, on budget. Thanks Matthew.

We are so happy we hired Horvath Design to completely redesign both our front and back yard spaces. Matthew Horvath was referred to us by a few friends and we too had an amazing experience. Matthew really listened to our wishes for the space and created a beautiful design that transformed a previously unused area into a backyard oasis that we love! Matthew was extremely knowledgeable and professional throughout the planning and design process and we were just as impressed with his team, the choice of materials and excellent workmanship with fair, competitive pricing. Thank you Matt for helping us to love our home again!

Thank you !!!!! You came thru on everything we asked for, including the deadline! Your professionalism and attention to detail from not only yourself, but your team as well, was greatly appreciated. Will definitely be enjoying the yard this summer! Thank you again!!

After consulting with several landscaping companies for a significant landscaping project at our home, we decided to proceed with Matthew and his project team due to the professionalism and confidence that was instilled in us and in short, we were NOT disappointed. From planning, design (including collaborative software use) thru project completion, we cannot say enough about the product quality, service delivery, subject-matter expertise and overall commitment to client satisfaction. There were numerous elements to this project including coordination with third-party service providers e.g. irrigation system, custom iron railing, etc. and Matthew ensured all were coordinated as a component of overall project plan with no impact to timeline and target completion date. I simply cannot say enough about Horvath Design Build and will continue to freely recommend to others.

We’d seen some of Horvath’s work in the neighbourhood and had heard favourable comments. We liked the creative ideas and approach Matt suggested for our project and are really pleased with the results. The workmanship was very thorough and the team kindly added a few extras to tidy up adjacent areas too.

I have nothing but good things to say about this company. I would recommend them to anyone , Matthew was fantastic to help us out with our needs. Was fantastic at getting back to you ASAP , very reliable. Everything was done in a timely matter and his pricing was very fair as well. His crew was very polite and courteous and did excellent work. In the future if we need any more work done , I will for sure give him a call. Thanks again Matthew , we are very happy clients

Matthew and Antonio quickly and professionally met my needs for a walkway repair and update. They understood my goals and made suggestions to better the existing layout. The front of house looks 1,000 times better. I'm excited to get the new planting completed to further enhance the inviting look and feel of the space. Great job!

The service, quality of work, design developed for our backyard, budget, and date of completion provided by Matthew and his crew were excellent. Matthew is a very approachable person; he kept in touch with us in regards to the construction of the backyard patios and landscaping, and he was always open to suggestions. The guys who are part of his work crew are very hard working and excellent craftsmen. They are very skillful in the use of machinery and materials. We are very satisfied with the design of the backyard; it is not only attractive but also very distinctive in appearance. Given the proximity of sunlight and the overall layout of the backyard, the plants and trees were well chosen. In regards to the budget, Matthew worked with us in order to provide not just a product that is rich in appearance, but also, one that fits into our budget. And finally, the work was completed in a very efficient and timely manner. The backyard was completed in ten days. Overall, both my wife and I are very pleased that we chose Horvath Design Build Landscapes to put together a backyard that is very fine in appearance and construction.

Matt & team made us a new driveway, incorporating our choice of green driveway that he'd never used before. They did a great job. Matt followed up a few months later to see how the green driveway was doing, and came back to do some fine tuning. He obviously cares about customer satisfaction. Recommended.

Mathew was working at a neighbor and we decided to engage for a complete remodel on our front entrance to the house. He was very responsive to set up a meeting and created a design that we loved. His team executed the plans quickly, efficiently and with minimal disruption. The quality of work is supported by Mathews’ attention to detail and follow up for final adjustments. We continue to get great compliments from family, friends and neighbors and consider Mathews’ work spectacular, a great experience and investment.

Matt and his team did an excellent job not only on making sure the project is on time and within budget, but also transforming a previously unusable space to a backyard that we absolutely love. Matt has spent the time to understand our needs and provided design ideas to ensure the space is utilized in the best way to meet our family's needs. We are also happy that we were able to support a family business where both the father and son work together to ensure highest client satisfaction. I have recommended my friends and family to Horvath Design Build Landscapes and will do so again with most confidence. Great job!! Thank you!

Mathew is very easy to deal with, prompt & curtious. The quality of the work completed at our home was excellent. We are planning to have him do more work for us in the near future. Thank you Mathew.

I am pleased to write this review for Horvath Contracting. I contacted Matthew after seeing the amazing work he had done at the home of one of our neighbours, and reading very positive reviews about Horvath online. I was impressed with Matthew from the first time I contacted him. I briefly explained what I was after and he was at our home later that day to look at our front yard, and spent a good deal of time with us discussing what we would like. Soon after, he came by with a plan for the front stonework and landscaping. This was followed by three other online meetings, honing in on exactly what would be done. This entire design process was quick and simple. His quote was a very thorough line-by-line description of the work to be done and materials to be supplied. Matthew was flexible, a good listener, and obliging with items I wanted or didn’t want. His design was refreshingly different than our proposed design. This made me feel like I was getting a whole new look which better fit the style of our traditional home. I appreciated Matthew thinking ‘outside the box’ and explaining why he was making the recommendations he made. In addition to the stonework, the landscape (plantings) design was gorgeous. The plants he chose are unique (so different than what we had before), and will bring the entire front of our home to life! We got several other quotes from other contractors and were very pleased to find Horvath was competitive and very fair. When the decision was made to proceed, he and his crew (Antonio and Corey) arrived that same day and started preparing for the job. It was completed quickly and thoroughly. The crew worked hard, were professional, polite and tidy. They consulted with me several times throughout the job, asking for my opinion and ensuring that I was pleased with everything they were doing. I am very glad I chose Horvath Contracting to create our beautiful front entrance. It makes me happy to see it every time I step out my front door or drive up to my house. We are already getting compliments from family and neighbours. I would not hesitate to recommend Matthew to anyone who asks, and I feel confident that should I need to call him back for any warranty issues, he will provide that in a timely fashion. Thank you Matthew!

We had an excellent experience with Matthew, and the finished product is tremendous—will continually receive strong compliments about how good the landscaping looks. We absolutely appreciated the process of first working through and finalizing a design, which given our previous renovation experiences, is a critical foundation to a successful project. The quote was very detailed and enabled us to adjust different components and understand how it impacts the final price. The overall pricing was competitive, and we were able to remain within budget, while still working through all the little things that arise with any major project. Throughout this project, it was always easy to communicate with Matthew, either by phone, text, or email. We have already referred Horvath Design Build to other friends and neighbours. The curb appeal and the functionality of our property has been transformed—thank you Matthew and team!

Very professional throughout the process of having our front yard landscaping done. You get to completely understand what work will be done, when and what materials will be used vs other contractors that may just give you a price and a hand drawn sketch. Our work was completed quickly, the site was kept clean and overall we are very pleased. We got exactly what we were looking for.

Working with Matt was great; he is professional and explains why and how his recommendations will satisfy your ideas. The design process was great, it allowed us to introduce our ideas and at all times Matt was open to listen. His communication was timely and we never felt any concerns during the process. We are more than satisfied with the results and would encourage anyone one to work with Matt.

The final product was better than what I had imagined! I am so happy with our backyard living space. Matthew and his crew were always thinking one step ahead and keeping us informed of any issues they saw that might deviate from the original plans. They were very accommodating with 'on-the-go' changes I had asked for when we had a change of heart from what was on the plans. Thank you Matthew for keeping the project on budget and always being available to discuss progress and changes throughout the project.

Mathew and his crew completed major landscaping revamps of our backyard including stone patio,lighting pool surround, plantings, fencing and stone steps. We were so pleased with the design, professionalism of the installation and outcome that we brought them in the next year to totally redo our front entrance and yard landscaping. Again they delivered a wonderful design and installed it on time and within estimates. We would have no problem recommending them for this type of work.

Horvath Design and Build was in our neighbourhood and asked the right questions to further provide a quote. Matthew came over and met my wife and I personally and showed us exactly what he planned on doing. He also used technology to help us understand some of the finer details. Matthew's company was thorough, and quick! There were no surprises and we got exactly what we were looking for! We were informed every step of the way and the job foreman Dave was excellent at asking the right questions each morning. The job site was clean at the end of each day. We are extremely happy with the outcome.

We chose Horvath Design because of the professional approach to contracting landscape renovation. We indicated our potential design, set an estimated budget and an expectation of when we would like the work to be completed. The team at Horvath met these requirements with a professionally written contract, timelines, payment expectations, educated us on change order requests in case we wanted to change the design midstream or add new work. They built a ~500sqft patio and excavated a garden area. Also, relocated builder patio stones and made a small patio to support a shed. 2 years after the project was complete they came back and repaired some paver stones that had sunk in the patio. Overall, we had a good experience with Horvath.

we had great experience , Excellent work, very professional and on time , most of all understood what we wanted and stayed with in budget. In addition, they were honest, trustworthy, and patient since I kept changing my design. Mathew & team arrived every morning & stayed till the job was completed, crew were punctual and professional. They even came out on a Saturday to make sure things got done in time.

We were very pleased with our new patio and the attention we received from Horvath through the entire project. During the course of the work, they had very strong work ethic: they were on time and hard-working, and they were tidy at the end of each work day. The workmanship was of high quality and they were always responsive to our inquiries. We would use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for landscaping work.

Horvath Landscapers designed and installed a stone patio driveways accents. Their workers were courteous, and the job was completed in a timely fashion at a reasonable price.

We hired Horvath Landscapes doing our landscaping in front of our house. Matthew and his crews provided good design and quality work for us. After the first winter, they came back did the maintenance work to correct the deformation due to the freeze and thaw in the winter. We were satisfied with their work.

I hired Horvath Design to completely upgrade both my front interlock driveway and my back yard interlock patios.I found them to be very professional and completed the work as scheduled.Their design was well thought out and was done at a very reasonable cost,compared to others that I had looked into.They followed up with me the following year and did not hesitate to come back for minor repairs at no additional cost.I would highly recommend considing them for your next landscaping project.

They did the complete back yard project including architectural planing. I had them install a patio, fire pit, replace a fence and put in plantings. What a great experience! Excellent work, amazing customer service, always on time and delivered as promised. I highly recommend this company for all your landscaping needs. They exceeded my expectations. They will definitely work with customer to get the project within the budget. I will definitely be contacting them again when I'm ready to redo the front yard.

Horvath Design was referred to us by a friend who had utilized them in 2013. We had received 3 estimates prior to meeting Matthew from Horvath Design. The 3 estimates were all over the map and the presentation of the plans and pricing ranged from a piece of cardboard to a hand written piece of paper. Matthew listened to what we thought we wanted, made recommendations, then worked with us and his designer to come up with a plan that was perfect. Matthew and his designer were extremely patient as we muddled our way through the decision-making process. The complete project was itemized with pricing and drawings so there would be nothing to argue about later. Horvath Design was NOT the least expensive estimate we received. But, we felt the level of professionalism, attention to detail, and the communication & follow-up was the deciding factor to go with this company. The Installation crew from Horvath Design was great. Hard working, a pleasure to talk to, always cleaned up at the end of each work day, and took pride in their work. We were extremely satisfied with Horvath design (from beginning to end) and would highly recommend this company. They provided us with a great-looking, high-quality project & we were very happy to deal with first-class professionals.

Matt and the Horvath team were very professional, very accommodating, and overall great guys, We had a small landscape job that evolved to a large one over the course to which Matt was quickly able to adapt and execute. Although Matt is able (and wanted) to give firm drawings, I am the type not to work on paper. I like to build towards the desired look. Matt was able to work with me on my non-paper method and execute my vision without delay. The Horvath team are honest, reliable and of their word. I look forward to working with them again on another project!

Matthew Horvath is a real artist when it comes to landscaping. He was able to come up with a innovative design for both our back and front yards. His employees were very professional and polite and the quality of the work was excellent. I would hire them again

We had the pleasure of having Horvath Design Build Landscapes transform our home, turning a driveway and walkway replacement into feeling like we are living in a resort. Matthew has an excellent spirit, which we noticed right from the start and all the way through the project. We had done some contractor shopping and when they had come to look at our home, they took the time to offer a number of ideas and options and you could see they cared about us and our home and not just getting the job. They provide professional design services and take the time to step back and have a bigger vision while still offering flexibility for what works for the client. They are great listeners, patient, thinkers, and creative in the decision process, with a vast amount of experience both in design and what is durable and cost effective. And the cost for the beautiful landscaping that the Horvath team creates is competitive with contractors that don’t have the same high level of quality and design. I highly recommend Horvath Design Build Landscape.
