Landscape Architects and Garden Designers in Stoney Creek, ON

“They did an amazing job. What made then stand out for me was that A) the worked my my schedule and had it done exactly on time and B) were constantly cleaning during the construction and landscaping. It was always a clean and professional job site”

“We recently used Twenty Creek to redo our backyard. We had the fence replaced, a deck removed, old concrete patio removed and a larger paver patio installed as well as the whole yard regrarded with retaining wall planters and new sod. From the very first meeting with Luke, we felt like a valued customer. He was amazing at giving suggestions and ensuring he understood what it was we wanted as a final outcome. They started late April and as soon as everything was ripped apart the rain started and seemed to never end! The conditions these guys worked through were truly horrible. No matter how deep they sunk into the mud, they were always the most pleasant, professional contractors we've dealt with. Through these conditions, they made us a patio that is truly a work of art! A retaining wall planter that was so much more than we hoped for. A fence that makes us smile and a graded yard that is now perfect for our Granddaughter to play on. We knew what we were hoping to have at the end and we can truly say that this team blew any and all expectations out of the water. Luke was constantly in contact to ensure we were happy with the progression and to see if we had any concerns. The team were unbelievable embassadors for the company. Every single one was friendly, professional and so talented! This is the first contractor/company we can honestly give our 100% support to. We can't wait to work with Luke and the team again! Thanks so much to all of you! Stephanie & David”

“Very professional, full-service landscaping company. Installed a front-yard parking pad, retaining walls, and full garden landscaping for our Beaches house. Helped us through the permit process, quick and professional hardscaping, followed by a really terrific garden designer and great plantings that really work for our century home and are low-maintenance! Peter Solti and crew have also responded to our calls for help promptly on several occasions and most recently dropped off a free replacement capstone for one on a wall which had fallen and broken. We would highly recommend them.”

“We had our entire backyard taken from nothing to a dream oasis. Richard and his positive, respectful crew, worked with us until every detail we envisioned was a reality. They began by setting the grades for the entire project including the work to be done by our pool contractor. After that, they created natural retaining for our very sloped yard, constructed a concrete sports pad, laid flag stone, built a natural stone BBQ, fireplace, water fall, and pool house. Their attention to every detail is exactly what my wife and I were looking for. The crew finished by creating beautiful beds and plantings to suit our vision. Some of the things outside of their landscape skill set that we truly appreciated was their daily clean up, their respectful nature to our children and their constant willingness to listen to our thoughts. We would highly recommend Richard and the LandArt crew.”

“Gary van Eijk is a great talent when it comes to landscape design. He is professional, detail oriented and extremely creative. We have worked together on a multitude of projects and each shared client has enjoyed the seamless interaction between the disciplines of home and landscape design. We highly recommend Gary van Eijk and his team at Uncommon Ground Design Group.”

“I have been through many renovation projects in my career that were both larger and smaller in scale but none with a Contractor that was as professional and patient as Richard Thorne-Botham. Communication skills are key in renovation projects, especially ones at your own home and Richard has this covered! From our 1st meeting, to the countless meetings thereafter, to working over 3 seasons since we started in the fall then finished in the spring and to still be contacting Richard over a year after our job was completed and having Richard responsive as ever, the experience has been wonderful. I could go on but just call Richard and you will see for yourself. I highly recommend Distinctive Landscapes!”

“15 years ago, I started looking for an Landscape Architect to work with to provide my clients with someone who could best provide a foil and compliment to the architecture of a home. I interviewed many firms and individuals. Since interviewing Peter Owen, I have been recommending Owen Landscape Architect to all my clients. I have also hired Peter for my own projects, where I am both the designer and developer. Peter's intense attention to detail and a broad knowledge of a precedents of landscape designs and plant species has allowed him to design projects varying in location, size, scope and budget, each time designing solutions that fit the landscape, integrate with the home, and meet the client's criteria, deadlines and budget. Peter has also immersed himself working in the field, personally choosing the plant specimens and landscaping materials best suited to a project. His choice of other consultants or landscape firms with whom to work with to get a project built has never disappointed. I would recommend Peter most highly, and would welcome any inquiries anyone may have. Andrew Martschenko (416) 767-7705”

“GELDERMAN LANDSCAPE SERVICES: Outstanding Company! C - CREATION AND CONSULTATION: Throughout this phase of the project, Harry Gelderman visited our home a few times to see and discuss the areas in our front, side and back yards that I was interested in having improved. He was an active listener as I shared my wishes and ideas, and offered good suggestions to be considered. With his team, he was diligent in creating a design that was both plausible as well as aesthetically pleasing. The final design reflected a shared understanding of what I had chosen and desired. A - ACCOUNTABILITY: Harry was diligent in meeting or exceeding his promised timelines, and was very quick to respond to the many emails I sent throughout the process. Quotes and the “Scope of Work” were promptly provided. Workers certainly arrived early (7:00 AM) and put in full days of hard work. Harry also managed sub-contractors for some portions of the work (eg. paving, stone selection, sod) and all sub-contracted companies also performed at a stellar calibre. R - RESPECT: All transactions were professional and respectful. A positive sense of humour was evident and their receptiveness to my ongoing commentary, input and praise was always received with the utmost respect. I enjoyed the levity which enhanced the confidence and trust developed between me and all who worked here, especially Jay. Respect for my neighbour’s property was also evident as our massive project unfolded, and clean up each night was well done. This was greatly appreciated. E- EVIDENCE: The true test of a company’s efficacy is in both the process and the product. The process to achieve the desired goals exemplified their “service-oriented” mindset and delivery. As the project evolved and when I got new ideas or when queries surfaced, all workers were attentive, accommodating, and diligent in ensuring I would be happy with the product. Through the demonstration of their strong knowledge of best practices, refined craftsmanship skills and a positive attitude topped with a great sense of humour, I watched, learned, and admired them for the expertise that they brought to this project. Jay, Darren, Big Jon, Andre and John were absolutely superb! This was a large project and I certainly had many high expectations throughout, however they were patient, wise, informative and humorous. I appreciated them educating me and sharing their honesty of what they thought would look good and what might not, so I could make informed final decisions. They gave me great options to consider and I had no regrets on decisions made. Gelderman landscaping has amazing employees working there! They know their stuff! With C. (Creation and Consultation), A. (Accountability), R. (Respect) and E. (Evidence) – C.A.R.E, those working for Gelderman Landscape Services demonstrated how much they truly C.A.R.E. about their work and the customer’s happiness. I am thrilled with the results, and I highly recommend this company! Ina Fournier”

“Best thing we did is give Dusil Design free reign to design and implement our property and gardens. She's an artist true and through. The metalic artwork is a discussion point for everyone that comes over. We want more!”

“Dave designed a landscape for me. His design was exactly what I was looking for, We implemented his design and turned out beautifully.”
