Ron Frank

We used Gardening by Design and Artistic Design Landscaping for our front yard landscaping project and we were very satisfied with the overall process and end result. Engelina worked with us to understand what we were looking for and came up with a design that aligned with our wants. She was very supportive in making adjustments as we finalized the design and was always very prompt and thorough in her follow-ups. The execution of the design went well and we had compliments from numerous neighbours on the end result. Thank you Engelina.

Thanks Ron,
It was a pleasure working with you and Chantal as well. I could tell right away that our design vision aligned from the first meeting -I think we were the perfect fit for your project. I'm excited to come back through the next few years to see how the plants mature! Thanks again for reaching out to us.

We started working with Engelina about 2 years ago on a full landscaping design of our home. It has been a great experience, and we are very happy with the design and the prices so far. She has really understood what we are looking for, and has made it so easy to go through the process. The installation of our first phase this past fall went so well, we did not have any issues or delays.

Thanks Darine! As you know, we have loved working with you and Jad as well -It has been an absolute pleasure and a great partnership. You both have such great taste and knowledge in design as it is, so it wasn't difficult to nail down a concept. We're excited to continue working on the next phase of your project and watch how everything comes together.

The Gardening By Design team did some on my new house. Mary-Anne was very helpful despite my vague requirements and her design team came up plenty of suggestions which I loved and they didn't break the bank. After I reviewed the final design, her team project managed the installation for me and everything was completed in approximately a week. The design fits in perfectly with the character of the house and the neighborhood. The colors are wonderful in the summer and fall. I'm a repeat customer of and if I purchase another house I would go with her team again.

I have worked with Gardening by Design for the past four years and have been very impressed by their professionalism, their expertise and their ability to work with me to create a garden that corresponds to both the look that I am trying to achieve and my needs in terms of maintenance. It has been a delight to see my garden take shape and evolve. Gardening by Design has been with me every step of the way and the results speak for themselves! A special thank you to the team at Gardening by Design!

Gardening By Design did a fantastic job of designing and transforming our back yard last fall. We had some hardscape done in the front yard as well, designed and completed by Gardening By Design. Engelina, our landscape designer, is very attentive to detail, demonstrates extensive knowledge of plants and hardscape materials, and displays unique design skills. She consults her landscape team as well as her clients on a regular basis in order to achieve beautiful results and satisfaction. We were kept informed every step of the way and our input and questions were welcomed. Any added costs were always discussed and explained fully before the additional work was undertaken. The finished product is absolutely gorgeous! We could never have achieved this on our own. We are looking forward to using our new space!

I was extremely pleased and satisfied with Gardening by Design. Engelina was very much in tune with what I wanted for this project. It is a pleasure to work with her. Her design was perfect. She oversaw the execution of it with great skill and professionalism. Everything was on schedule and on budget. I look forward to working with her again.
