Natural Landscapes Inc.

I found Natural Landscapes on Homestars and am very pleased to write a review of my experience with this company. I contacted them a year ago to discuss plans to completely renovate my front and back yards.

The previous homeowners were avid gardeners and spent hours on the various gardens they designed. I am not a gardener and felt badly that I could not maintain the gardens. I knew there had to be a way to make my yard a beautiful space that I look at with love and appreciation, rather than dread. After my mom died in June 2014, I contacted Doug and told him I wanted a space to honour my parents, neither of whom inherited their parents' gardening genes.

I met with Doug and explained my lack of skill and interest in gardening. He created a beautiful design that would achieve peace and serenity for me. Doug also was honest in letting me know there would be some work required as there is no such thing as a maintenance free yard :)

The project started this May and I was impressed by the hard work of the team. Every day I came home to new and exciting changes. The team was respectful and accommodating to my requests. It took a few weeks to get everything planted, and that was fine as I knew the company had several big projects they were working on. I had also told them that I was in no hurry.

I now have a beautiful space that is soul enriching and peaceful. The pond and granite water fountains are a highlight and help to cut down the traffic noise from nearby 22x. I have had wonderful comments from my neighbours and have also met many people because they stop to tell me how lovely the yard is.

As the weeks pass by, I am aware of the changing colours that present themselves due to Doug's choice of plants and trees. My yard is a living canvas and I am thrilled to experience the delight of the extraordinary beauty that evolves as the season changes.

Doug is an exceptional artist when it comes to landscape design. I have even found that I don't mind the watering and minor weeding when I know I am taking care of such a beautiful space!
