Bespoke Water Feature Professionals in Hamilton, 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 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.”

“Little Miracle designs does its name justice. They transformed my dark and unattractive yard into an amazingly beautiful space that has added a new room to my brownstone. A true miracle. I cannot say enough about the professionalism of this company. They work with you closely, they listened to what you want and then they dazzle you with ideas. And this allows every single one of their projects to be unique. They adapt to your aesthetics, but provide you with guidance and options given their vast experience in working with small, and not so small, exterior designs projects in the Tri State NY area. The outcome is truly better than what you expected. The execution is fantastic. They are very detailed oriented and perfectionists. They know how to solve problems fast and in a cost effective way. When we first contacted Little Miracle Designs we had a very small project in mind. But when we sat down with Sasha, their CEO, who by the way gives personalized attention to all of his projects, we knew that we have found the right person to commit to a complete renovation of our yard. Today, we can say we were absolutely right. There is no one out there that can do what Little Miracle Designs does. As a result, we have not only gained a beautiful yard, but truly another room to our house that has increased the value of our property by more than the cost of the project.”

“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!”

“GVL has once again gone above and beyond our expectations! We hosted a party at our home for approx 100 people the beginning of November, and we needed our front pots done ASAP! GVL got the job done in time, and created a beautiful entrance, for our guest as they arrived. We depend on them, and they always deliver, thanks GVL”

“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've owned and renovated many properties over the years and have never come across a more professional and talented individual for design and execution of my backyard project. From my initial conversation with Keith, to the final walk-through some months later, his creativity, reliability, and attention to detail were well beyond my expectations. Unlike many other design contractors, Keith is hands on, and takes ownership in a very personal way with the progress and overall outcome of his projects. In a sea of willing contractors whose primary mission seems to be securing a job and initial payments, Keith is a refreshing and welcome change. In the few months since the conclusion of the project, I have had countless compliments on the job and it's completely custom appearance. Many thanks to Keith, his staff and the solid subs he uses. Bravo!!”

“As an Interior Decorator I have worked with and been exposed to many trades and contractors, our experience with Earthscape was a dream. All staff is zealous about their work and you really sense that they want to be there for you to achieve the desired result. Earthscape constructed a drystack retaining wall in our backyard and a waterfall into our pool. Our initial consultation with Mark generated many great ideas and we easily came together to finalize the design decisions. The crew was on site everyday and amazingly the wall was finished on time and on budget despite terrible rain and mud. I was impressed with the excellent care they fostered on their tools and equipment, certainly indicative of the level of thoroughness executed by this company. At all times they were genuinely respectful not only to me and my family but to my elderly neighbours who were quite concerned about the whole project. We love the end result and have absolutely no hesitation recommending Earthscape.”

“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”
