What recent reviews say

Most work is finished on schedule and on budget, with crews that show pride in their projects and communicate progress through photos or site visits. Backyard renovations, patio repairs, retaining walls, and stone work are standouts, though scheduling can slip in peak season. A handful of reviews flag parking rudeness and follow-up gaps as real friction points.

Praised for
  • on-time execution
  • crew professionalism and friendliness
  • design expertise and listening
  • quality hardscaping and drainage solutions
  • site cleanliness and communication
Watch-outs
  • parking inconsideration blocking loading zones
  • poor follow-up and missing quotes
  • condescending staff and supervisory attitude
reliablepunctualskilled-crewattention-to-detailprofessional-crewgreat-resultspoor-communicationresponsive
Best for: Homeowners tackling major backyard renovations and needing reliable design-through-build coordination.
Think twice if: Site scheduling may lag 1-2 months in spring/summer; parking during jobs has frustrated neighbours; follow-up can be slow if you don't already know the team.

Strengths

  • 40 years operating locally
  • expert drainage and grading fixes
  • design team (Pierre, McKenzie) collaborates with clients
  • full-service from design through finish

Worth knowing

  • Design leads Pierre and McKenzie praised for listening and honest pushback
  • Project manager Sean manages site updates and timelines
  • Crew members Nick, Art noted for stone work
  • Stream repair on 16-year-old installation shows aftercare depth
  • Photos sent to clients during absence
  • Expertise in flood-prone lot grading and redirecting water

Common questions

How long does a typical backyard project take?
3-4 weeks from quote to finish in most cases. Spring and summer can see 1-2 month waits before crews start, but work itself stays on schedule once underway.
Do you provide updates during the project?
Yes. Crews send photos when milestones are complete if clients are away; site supervisor and project manager provide regular explanations and updates.
Can you fix a yard with drainage or grading problems?
Yes. Multiple reviews highlight expertise in diagnosing and correcting flooded lots, poor drainage, and regrading around existing features like patios and decks.

Earthscape Landscape Design-Build-Maintain Toronto

5.0(31)✓ Google-verified

Earthscape delivers complete landscape overhauls with consistent professionalism and care. From initial design through installation, their named team members (Kevin, Adriana, Stephanie, Renis, Paul) coordinate closely, communicate daily progress, handle changes without friction, and leave worksites clean. Even complex multi-phase jobs and tight urban spaces receive meticulous attention; clients report neighbours' approval and new outdoor areas that add real quality to their lives. One 4-star review notes that non-modern styles required extra design iterations, a minor bump in an otherwise seamless process.

Curbz Landscaping

4.4(51)✓ Google-verified

Most projects run smoothly under named project managers like Devon and Steve, with design, permitting, and construction handled end-to-end. Homeowners consistently note the crew's professionalism, attentiveness during complex jobs (decks, patios, retaining walls, driveways), and genuine care for the property and family. Two one-star reviews flagged serious gaps: one crew member's dismissive response when wood chips covered a neighbor, and use of a shared driveway without permission during a neighbor's job, leaving the complaining party's yard damaged and unanswered. Major projects run from design through inspections with named specialists like Michelle (deck building) and Janine (horticulturalist). Pricing is described as reasonable and transparent rather than rock-bottom. The business claims 20 years in operation and serves Toronto's downtown and midtown areas. The two poor reviews suggest communication breakdowns and site management shortcomings that contradict the otherwise strong pattern.

Green Trail Lawn Care

5.0(97)✓ Google-verified

Every reviewer praised Green Trail for showing up on schedule and leaving properties immaculate. Liam, the owner, earns consistent mention for quick responses and thoughtful suggestions, while named crew members Eduardo, Marc, Richard, Jamal, and Anna receive separate praise for their diligence and courtesy. Spring cleanup, mulching, and regular lawn maintenance dominate the workload reviewers describe. Several customers switched from other providers or expanded services after initial jobs. The team handles overgrown gardens, Virginia creeper removal, and rock border work as readily as weekly mowing, with no service complaints recorded.
