I've had the pleasure of working with Adrian and Upscaled Yard & Gardens for the past couple of…read moreyears. There are two main differences in working with this company, as opposed to others: 1) The work is going to get done better than you envisioned. Adrian takes as much pride in his work as you would. Maybe more. 2) The price is much more reasonable than others we've had quoted. Adrian will communicate with you. I'm constantly surprised how considerate he is of your time, and all of his customers. You know when he's there, when he's leaving and when he'll be back. He takes a great deal of pride in his work; it really shows. I had him help me with the landscaping before a September wedding on the lower patio. Everyone commented on how good it looked.

We hired Creative by Design Landscaping to redevelop our backyard in late Spring of 2017. We…read moreneeded to fix drainage issues, tear out a rotting patio and manage multiple levels of a very sloped yard. When we met Phil for the initial consultation we were impressed with his attention to detail and quality and how much he cared about doing a quality job that looks great. It was clear he took a lot of pride in his work. Phil helped us take our vision and make it into reality including stonework, curved garden beds, space for a vegetable garden, irrigation and lighting. He guided us toward practical decisions and was always transparent about cost. It was easy to work with Phil throughout the project - he was very respectful of our yard and space, communicated openly and was patient with our many questions. The work is excellent and looks outstanding. I am in awe of the attention to detail that Phil gave our project. I would hire Creative By Design again in an instant and will recommend them to anyone who asks.

Seriously Painting is a fantastic company. From our first query Mathew responded immediately and…read moreset up a meeting within a week to revue our property and gave us a quote immediately. He is extremely knowledgeable and we felt very comfortable in assigning them to do the work. Communication between Seriously Painting and ourselves was easy and all questions were answered promptly. Two weeks ago painting started. Tommy and Gerard are extremely conscientious and have done a fabulous job. They quietly get on with their work and we can't recommend them highly enough. No mess anywhere, none whatsoever and such beautiful workmanship. Throughout Matthew has been in contact and also Ollie, the project manager. Value for money? Absolutely. Peace of mind knowing we were in such capable hands means a lot. Thank you Seriously Painting, Matthew, Ollie, Gerard and Tommy. You are brilliant.

Greg and his team are awesome! We could not have found a better company to deal with to transform…read moreour front yard. They were already maintaining and servicing our irrigation system and we were pleased with that level of service. Our front yard however, needed a complete make over! Greg took our design and ideas, tweaked them a little and the results are amazing. He and his team were very easy to work with, were always positive and we felt like we were part of the team. Greg is an excellent listener, honest, very detail oriented, meticulous, very focused and utilizes his team members' skill sets well. He checked with us at every stage that it was what we wanted. Once the project was started, the team was present every day until completion. The weedy, mossy "grass" was removed and replaced with flower beds, river rock, a patio, a pond and a pathway leading to the backyard. The irrigation system was modified to suit the new design. No shortcuts in the project were taken. We would highly recommend Prowest, not only for installation and maintenance of irrigation systems and yard maintenance but also for landscaping projects. They work hard, produce great results, are cost efficient and are excellent to work with.

During this time numerous sprinkler…read moreheads have been replaced and repositioned and they have provided fall shutdown and spring start up services. This summer Greg and his crew removed 1,000 sq. ft of lawn and replaced it with pavers. This labor intensive task included sprinkler line re-routing, removing roots, stumps and ground material-17 tons worth, updating drainage lines and installing pavers in a contoured area. Greg provided a quote with a cost guarantee. He is honest, talented, professional, dependable, a listener, great communicator, thoughtful and provides an excellent role model for his staff. His work is meticulous and precise. We have been very impressed with all facets of the services provided by Pro-West, including working with Sam in the office, irrigation repair and installation staff and the recent landscaping/patio work. We highly recommend Pro-West. They are one of a handful of companies in Parksville/Qualicum area that we rely on and have always been given exceptional, reliable service at reasonable and fair price. If there was a 6th star, they would be deserving.

I was delighted with the work that Ivan and his team did in my yard. I wasn't sure what size or…read moretype of garden I wanted, but Ivan had the vision to design and create something so much better than anything I could have dreamed up. He took into consideration my lack of knowledge and basically planted two idiot-proof (and deer-proof) garden areas at the front and back of my property. All I need to do is water and prune and my garden will continue to flourish and grow year after year. Ivan's company also carried out the removal of a large tree that was blocking the sun and creating a mess in my yard and my neighbour's. I had just thought to prune the tree, but I'm so glad I took Ivan's advice and had it removed entirely. It has made a huge difference to the look and feel of my front yard and has brought a great deal more light into the whole area. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ivan to anyone looking for landscaping in the mid-Vancouver Island region, and I look forward to enjoying my new gardens for many years to come.

He created the dream that I always wanted in a subtropical garden, complete with my waterfall feature, lighting and irrigation. This was done in a timely and respectful manner. Ivan was always on time for appointments!!! Where our yard had challenges he provided a number of options for us to choose from. It is evident that he has years of experience and was very knowledgable on what grows in this climate. I was able to hand pick all my trees, shrubs, and plants with the help of his expertise. His workers cleaned up each day before they left. His pricing is fair and cost cutting options that he offered were appreciated.The aim of this company is to please the customer, and I highly recommend them for any landscaping need big or small.
