“We were in search of a landscaping contractor to replace our existing interlocked stone front entrance steps and re-landscape the front yard garden. We were 2 weeks from listing our house for sale and were in desperate need of some curb appeal. TWG Landscaping returned my call within 2 hours. Within 2 days they provided and estimate which compared to others we received was reasonable. They provided suggestions on design which we incorporated. An excellent job and experience all-round. The contractor that was assigned was pleasant, respectful and worked diligently. He went over and above to resolve an issue uncovered with one of the posts and completed the work in the 3-day period that was originally estimated. They started and completed the job when they said they would and the end result was beautiful. We had many neighbours visit to admire our new curb appeal which included curved stone steps, limestone feature rocks and a new garden with plantings. I highly recommend TWG.”

“I absolutely love how Jay does business. He was so open, honest and and very supportive throughout the duration of the project! I got a fence put in and my deck replaced last spring. Thank you so much for the great work!”

“The Best: Matt and his team are amazing, they arrived everyday at 7:30 and worked until 5. They were always polite and responded to our crazy questions. Matt took our ideas and implemented them, totally transforming our back yard. All of our neighbours have checked it out and are wowed by the work. He managed to bring our ideas to life while keeping the natural beauty of the area. We will give him a deposit for next year's work and our neighbours are very interested in having work done. He left the area clean and came in on budget even with our tweaks . If you are looking for a landscaper, Matt and his team will go above and beyond for you. We highly recommend.!”

“Birks Landscaping has completed beautiful landscaping projects on two of our former properties and is still working on a multi-stage project at our present location. These creative and attractive designs were all created by Peter, who is able to envision a plan that accurately reflects your dreams and your budget. The interlocking brickwork, walkway and patio designs are exceptional! We have NEVER been disappointed with the end product. Strangers passing by our properties have often stopped to enquire which company we hired. The crews work hard to please the customer. They are friendly, conscientious and diligent. They take great pride in their work. All of our projects have been completed on time and the end product has surpassed our expectations. We have recommended this company to our friends and family who have shared the same experience as we have.”

“Brian is an absolute professional and his work was excellent. He needed to add to my existing backyard patio and knew the natural stone quarry it came from just by looking at it. He stayed true to his quote and the timeline. Really worked hard to please and transformed by backyard into a fabulous living space. I highly recommend him!”

“Summary: We hired Energized Surroundings two years ago to do the stone work in front of our new home, and again last year to do the back yard. 100% happy. Details: We had looked around at completed work various properties in the neighbourhood, and evaluated those as to similarity with what we wanted, and degree of finesse we could plainly see (or not). We also observed how various companies did the work (mess they made during the work, respect for the property, the mess left every night, the cleanup process etc). Also, how did it look at supposed "completion". I also received quotes from a few companies. The gamut ran from a virtual immediate verbal answer (next day) to 3 weeks (because "we're busy"). The prices quotes were also wildly different, but the detail in *ALL* of them was lacking. At most we saw a hand scribbled sketch with some rough lines, no stone types or choices, and ... no real discussion. Yes we understand that companies aren't in the business of handing out free estimates, however it's hard to establish trust if they won't engage. We also had some discussions with neighbours and their experiences with various contractors. From that we learned that even when people are not thrilled with their jobs, they are glad that it's over, and 'like' the final look as being better than it was. However when pressed, they often admit to having disliked the process, hate the attitude of the contractor, don't get their wishes attended to, or abhor certain aspects of their workers. In other words: unless you know people real well they'll tell you they are happy with the work they paid so much for. If they know and trust you, they'll reveal their true feelings (good and bad). We were getting rather disappointed with the available services. Then we stumbled on Michelle's and Mo's worksite in the neighbourhood, and did our usual observations and evaluations per the above. We liked what we saw and heard from others. We contacted them, and Mo took the time to listen and make suggestions. He made his own sketches based on ours, and translated it into a workable document. His price was fair, no B.S., and he was honest about when he could start. We signed on, (2015) and lived through the start, process and finish of the driveway and front walk work. All done in 2 weeks. Very happy all the way. So happy that in 2016 we got him back to 'do' our back yard with trees, landscaping and a large patio matching the front stones. Again, very happy. I have recommended them to several people, and continue to do so. Good people, good work. Sorry about the long winded report, but it's a big decision, and this landscaping work warrants doing it right the first time.”

“We are very pleased with the finished product for our backyard renovation. The stone is beautiful and the new patio has changed the appearance of the backyard in a very positive way.”

“I have worked with the Paver King team on a number of projects. They have proven to be efficient and effective on all the projects that they were contracted to complete. Mike is a phenomenal problem solver and a straight talker, able to succinctly breakdown possible issues and offer quality solutions. His team of skilled workers are practical and professional. Expect to get 110% from Paver King and they won’t let you down.”

“Scott (Solid Ground Landscaping) has done work for us for many years. In August 2017 we hired him to replace our 17’ x 85’ front garden with artificial grass and border gardens. He guided us through the selection of artificial grass products and once we had chosen the grass we wanted, he started the digging up (artificial turf requires a deep substructure and drainage) and then constructing the area which included building low border walls and gardens outside the grass area. It was a huge job and Scott worked steadily for 2 weeks. As he was finishing the job, another professional landscaper drove by, stopped his truck, asked if the grass was artificial, and then pronounced it to be an excellent job. My husband and I thought so, too, along with many passers-by.”

“Aurora Landscaping provided us with the front yard of our dreams! Al Trimble and his staff were prompt, reliable, respectful and very hard workers. They re-built our front porch with natural stone, created a new pathway, retaining walls and stone planter, installed a Victorian post light, laid the new sod and planted our new tree, bushes and flowers. Al showed a lot of sensitivity, experience and knowledge in maintaining our historical house theme. Hardly a day passes without people stopping and telling us how fantastic our front yard and front of the house looks. Al was prompt and responsive in following up on any warranty issues related to plants. We will not hesitate to use this company for any further projects.”
