Backyard landscaping

Our backyard used to have a pool that was filled in 2018 - so half the backyard was interlock while the other was gravel. We contracted Rick and his team to help us with landscaping including: grading the backyard according to city standards, filling in soil for clover grass, and building us a massive garden bed. They also re-did two outside stair sets. All of their work was fantastic and we couldn't be happier with it.

Backyard fencing

Rick and his crew were absolutely tremendous in every way possible. Our backyard project certainly wasn't straightforward, and required a lot of care, especially to preserve some existing trees right on our fence line. Their attention, craftsmanship, pleasant demeanor and speed really stood out. I would wholeheartedly recommend Rick and his team.

Driveway with a retaining wall and front porch

We have hired Hofstetter Landscaping 3 times. First in 1992, second time in 2017 where they installed new driveway pavers (100 ft driveway) and rebuild the front porch and stairs and in 2023 they installed a drain in front of the garage, power washed, re-sanded and resealed the driveway.
Staff are personable and friendly. Work was completed on time, quality of work is excellent. Respected neighbors property, kept you up to date with work in progress. Rick and Ashleigh is a pleasure to deal with.

repair of driveway

We have a very long and sloped driveway connected to our neighbours. Rick lifted and relaid the driveway with the existing brick and a new soldier coarse with polymeric sand. The job was done on schedule and we are pleased with the result. They were very considerate to not disturb the neighbour with young children. Clean up was always excellent.

Thank you so much Reet. We appreciate your review. Raising your driveway up to match the neighbour's driveway made a huge difference in the look and will certainly make it much safer. Thank you for once again placing your faith in our team to provide your landscaping work. We truly appreciate your continued support, and look forward to working with you in the future!
Have a wonderful summer!

Best Regards

Stonework repair

Rick and his team were everything you want in a contractor. They were clean, they were on time, they communicated always and we never were in the dark about what was happening next. Great stone work that repaired a concrete disaster by another company.

Driveway retaining wall

10 years again Hofstetter landscaping did our driveway retaining wall and 10 years later, its like the first day it was installed. It was a quality Job done in a timely manner and at a fair price. I cant remember how much it cost as it was 10 years ago but i do know that I got a number of quotes and spoke to references and hofstetter was definitely the one to go withso much so, that Ive recently ask them to come and quote a full backyard landscaping job for me.

Fence Construction

Hofstetter Landscaping built a fence for us in October 2022. Their workmanship was superb and dealing with Rick and Ashleigh was a pleasure. As well as relying on HomeStars for a recommendation, we also checked The Better Business Bureaus recommendation. Hofstetter has an A+ rating there and has had zero complaints since 2006, the year they were accredited there. We highly recommend them.

We are happy to hear that you are pleased with the end result!
We look forward to working with you again!

A backyard paradise

Rick and team did an amazing job of designing our new backyard. This is the second time that we have had them do work for us, the first time was at our old house. In our new yard, the pool was surrounded by a cement deck, with an old brick patio and a back sitting area of slab cement. Rick designed a new look, including a beautiful back sitting area beneath the trees, river rock borders and a very effective drainage system. The work was done on time, on price, and the team did a number of nice design upgrades as the work took place and things started to take shape. A very professional and fun team to work with.

Hi Scott
Thank you so very much for submitting a review on our behalf.
We greatly appreciate the detailed review of the 2 projects we have done for you both.
I remember the weather was very very hot, and you graciously allowed our crew to have a swim on several occasions.
Your backyard truly is the epitome of entertaining, relaxation and serenity!
Rick and our crew thoroughly enjoyed working with you, and also, watching the transformation.
We look forward to working with you both again in the future!
Best Regards
Rick and Ashleigh

More about Hofstetter Landscaping

Landscaping Contractors & Designers, Interlocking Stone.

OWNERSHIP AND CREDENTIALS
Hofstetter Landscaping is owned and operated by Rick and Ashleigh Hofstetter. Our “baby” was born in 1989 and is now 23 years old. (In case you’re wondering how old we are...suffices to say we are evergreens. :-) Did we tell you we are a landscaping company?)
From the beginning, we have always endeavoured to do the best quality work possible for our clients. We specialize in landscaping and that’s one of the reasons our “baby” has no siblings—no sister companies, no associates, no partners, no branches. Landscaping is what we do and we do it really well.

A TORONTO LANDSCAPING COMPANY WITH A DIFFERENCE
Ever since we started, and even more so now, we find the market exploding with Toronto landscaping companies that make a big noise about “cheap, cheap”. Now, if they were selling birds, it would be okay, but they are not, right? And yet, we often lose a job to a cheap company that “specializes” in being a “Jack-of-all-trades”. Do we want to compete with them? No. But does that mean we are frightfully expensive? Not at all! In fact, our goal is always to ensure that our customers get the best value for money and a landscape that makes them the envy of the neighbourhood without breaking the bank.

As we come across customers who do their due diligence by comparing quotes, we are very mindful and respectful of the fact that one needs to be price conscious. It’s when we are told about a competitive quote that implies “the other guy” can get the job done for less than it costs us to buy quality materials, the alarm bells go off. He needs a hefty deposit from you to pay his guys for the last job done, and of course, there is always that famous curbside taillight guarantee!

We would like to go on and tell you what we have learned and found out in these past 23 years but you wouldn't be able to read it all...

WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE TO ENGAGE OUR LANDSCAPING SERVICES IN TORONTO

All we want to say is this—we do top quality work with a guarantee you can count on, every single time. If it’s not to your liking we'll do what it takes to make it right. We'll be there in years to come, particularly if the weather has given the work a beating.

• We are fully covered with 5 million liability insurance and WSIB approved.
• Our crew is safety certified or they don't work for us.
• Our business has City of Toronto licensing.
• Each team member has government ID.
• We pay our taxes and are an ethical, honest, law-abiding enterprise.

Yes, you will find cheaper Toronto landscaping companies out there. Will you find one better than us in terms of reputation for quality work and customer references? Not likely.
