Landscape Architects and Garden Designers in Frankville, ON

“Martine is very passionate and knowledgeable about gardens! She provided valuable advice on the selection and placement of plants that would thrive in our environment and meet our low-maintenance requirements.”

“We built a new home 10 years ago and contacted Welwyn to design the landscaping from scratch. She was always professional, pleasant and extremely knowledgable. The final design was based on Feng Shui principles and she made sure that during the construction, she was present to ensure that the huge rocks were placed in the right positions. We were delighted with the final product. We have had many people stop or ring the doorbell to ask who the designer was. A few years ago we contacted her to give the garden an update and again she was very creative and listened carefully to our needs. For the last 2 years we have been using her company to do the weekly maintenance, a new service, and again, have been very pleased.”

“I hired Rhonda to provide me with a redesign of my front yard and steps. She made the process very easy; she was patient, professional and always respectful of my suggestions. Rhonda managed to shape my rambling, vague notion of what I wanted into a tangible design. The result is a wonderfully curated narrative that marries well with the style of our home and perfectly reflects our design sensibilities. I would highly recommend Rhonda Drerue; she is a true talent.”

“Gardenscapes provides excellent design ideas and service to make the biggest aesthetic impact within the budget and space we had. Their designer took the time to understand how we wanted to use the space. From construction to plant materials they helped us source the best quality materials, and helped us DIY where our skills allowed.”

“Artistic Landscape Design is a family owned business operating for more than 50 years. I had the opportunity to work with one of their landscape architects in a review of my landscaping requirements. I was able to have them transform my yard from rough patch of grass up to the pool, into a professional hardscaped and landscaped home. The work was divided into three major efforts over a series of years. It has made my home backyard an extension of our living space, and our front yard a welcoming garden with the grass replaced by flora. All the scheduled work was completed on time with great attention to detail. Upon review of the area near the pool to have an interlocking patio, it was determined that there would be too much rain and snow to allow proper drainage. At that time, onsite on the first day, a decision was made to install a French drain 4’ x 4’ x6’, connected 12 feet from the downspout. The work was professionally completed without impacting the schedule, and at no additional cost to my estimate. There was never any hesitation to work the design over several years, as I was always able to work with the same landscape architect. I never had to worry about permits, schedule, or damage to my property. In fact with the third effort, another patio and bed at the end of the pool, the company put down plywood across my driveway and existing patio to ensure the small frame equipment would not do any damage. Not only does the company do professional design, their landscape centre has a massive perennial garden, and the teams working at the sites are not seasonal workers.”

“We have a side yard, rather than a back yard, and wanted a sitting area that offered privacy from the street. We were totally lost in how to achieve this. When we approached John Duthie several years ago with our "wish list", he came back with a design that was unique to our property - a great plan that we would never have thought of on our own. John was willing to work within our budget constraints by completing the total property design over a 3 year period. The work included a large side patio area which then continued around to the area behind our house. We then had an large accent trellis placed in the front yard to continue the theme John had created and built. John was willing to use existing large shrubs and plantings wherever possible, which also helped our budget. The dedication to details and the quality of the work carried out was extremely satisfactory. Each and every time we sit outside in our oasis, we think of John's hard work and creativity. It gives us so much pleasure and will continue to do so for many years. We also enjoy all the compliments we continue to receive from friends and family who enjoy the space with us. Brenda & Ken”

“We met Liza at a local landscape design centre and she provided us with first-rate advice on design, perennial suggestions and she answered all our questions with knowledge and experience. She listened to our ideas and tweaked them to ensure we could recognize our thoughts in the final design. We have no hesitation in recommending Liza for garden design and horticultural advice.”

“Riverview has done a number of landscape projects for our family over the past 25 years and are well known in Eastern Ontario as one of the top design companies in the area, responsible for major projects and parks as well as large to small residential projects. You will get service on a very personal level with an outcome that is worthy of a gardening magazine. Their recent expansion to product design will be a great supplement to their landscape design expertise.”

“Our front entrace was completely changed for the better. Neighbours, friends and passersby commented on how much better our yard looked. Yards Unlimited produced a great design and then did great work. They had a lot of good suggestions and were really easy to work with, very responsive.”

“This is actually the 2nd project that I have hired Luc's team for, I am more than impressed by their work and professionalism. After mulitple conversations to determine the look and feel that I was heading for, Luc presented me with complete drawings, and samples of materials he would consider. He approaches the project with ideals of perfection. After consultation and a number of adjustments we were set to go! Landscaping is an art, however doing it so that it "lasts" requires engineering brilliance. Laying the proper forms, stone dust etc I have learned is more important than what goes on top! While the home had great bones, the original owner intended the house for a fast sale and therefore put little to no effort into the landscaping. This requred re excavating and working gently around existing structures such as swimming pools, septic beds/tanks etc. All stone work was completed just as the snow began to fly last December. We could barely wait to get plantings and final structures in place once spring finally came, The team was back as promised and the project continued. Steve the horticulture "expert" came frequently to our home to oversee his workers but was often caught with pruning sheers in hand, clipping and shaping, showing his complete devotion for his business and his perfectionism. We sit out every evening, rain or shine, enjoying the sound of the sheer decent fountain, the breath taking arbour, the logia with kitchen, the courtyard with wall fountain, and as the sun sets the beautiful lighting that plays shadows on the towering maples and newly planted bushes, grasses and other perennials. While some of the plantings are quite immature, I can easily imagine them in their full glory, I will happily provide pictures!!”
