We hired Twyla and Illarion to landscape our garden. I say garden but unusable rock face would be closer to the mark. We are now midway through the project and we have been so impressed with Rusnak Gallant that we simply had to express ourselves. Not only have Twyla and Illarion gone out of their way to help us they and their team have been a joy and pleasure to have around. Where we lacked vision and foresight they have been a guiding hand and have shown us how our kid unfriendly garden could become a child (and adult) paradise. We feel truly fortunate and lucky to be working with Twyla and Illarion and have complete faith that the end result will surpass our wildest dreams! Thank you!!!

We had an idea of what we wanted in our landscape, but couldn't see the whole picture. Hiring Rusnak Gallant Ltd. was the best decision we made. They took our ideas and came back with a beautiful organic design, including things that we had not envisioned. Twyla, Illarion and their crew make a great team, and were so easy to work with, and we were able to incorporate little changes as the project rolled smoothly along. It was a wonderful experience, and we love our new garden.

Rusnak Gallant handled the complete renovation of our suburban residential property 13 years ago, and has been involved in various tune ups to keep the garden in scale and looking its best. Over the course of 4 months, our problematic suburban lot was beautifully transformed to provide a suitable setting for the house, great street appeal, four seasons of interest, private outdoor living spaces, and a variety of beautiful views from inside our home. Their "design / build" approach included site remediation to stabilize slopes, handle drainage, provide proper soil and ensure the hardscape was installed on a firm foundation. Besides planting design and selection, they also handled the design and oversaw the installation of ponds, walls, stairs, lighting and sprinkler systems. The crew and subcontracts were well supervised, and the firm was attentive to safety regulations, codes and municipal bylaws. Project costs were professionally handled with estimates, detailed invoices, etc. I would not hesitate to recommend the services of Twyla Rusnak and Illarion Gallant for projects both large and small.

Twyla and her crew did a fantastic job at our house. All work performed was on time and within budget. I would highly recommend Rusnak Gallant and look forward to doing more work with them. Tony Martin
