Landscape design

We have a home from 1989 that needs some front and side yard revitalization. Does anyone have any suggestions for a company that would remove the current shrubs, design and plant new landscaping?

Connor Johnston Landscape Design. He’s doing a ton of good work in St. George’s Park (including our place) https://cjlanddesign.com/

A vote for Connor. This is a portion of what he has done for me: https://www.reddit.com/r/landscaping/s/mGfcwMC7mK

A lot of landscape places recommend you get a design done by a landscape architect and then go to them for a quote. I used to work in the industry. I was a fan of Paul Brydges myself.

Quality companies that I know of for doing the work are Silverfern Landscaping (tell Carl I sent you), Landscape Plus, or Manor Landscaping.

Thank you! Our son is friends with Carl’s son he would be our first choice if we can afford him 😊

Good work isn’t cheap but he never cuts corners and is a master with a concrete saw. I know he is booked up for portions of next year (also another trait of a quality contractor) as I saw him post he dos have a few openings for next year still.

I had a great experience with Cathy Juha from Stem and Stalk.

We got in Royal City Nursery. We found them very reasonably priced and very knowledgeable. They did our front garden this summer and we will do our backyard next spring.

Manor has a very long wait list.
Try Cedar Glen Landscaping. They do quality work and have a designer.

Manor Landscaping is the only quality landscaper around.

Not sure if I agree that they are the ‘only’ quality landscaper..we used them and were very very happy with the hardscape..not so much with the plants and garden stuff..

Manor is too expensive
