Our front walkway and rear patio interlock stones were in need of a refresh as a few areas had settled since it was initailly installed over 15 years ago. We also planned to update a garden bed and hoped we'd be able to plant another ornamental pear tree. It was important for us to support a reputable local landscape business. I contacted LOTL and Brad came to our place within the week to discuss our project and quote the job. His crew (Matt and Saunder) worked our project start to finish assited by Gabby and Sean (Shawn?) on one of the days. All four were very pleasant, hardworking staffers who were meticulous, detailed and efficient. Our front and rear interlock stones were power washed, lifted, re-levelled, sanded and they planted a very large, and healthy ornamental pear tree exactly where we wanted it. Patio and walkway look brand new and the pear tree is a much welcomed addition to our graden. We very much appreciated Brad and his crew's work ethic and their attention to detail. Great communication throughout the process from initial contact to final review. A very professional outfit and would highly recommend LOTL for any landscape projects. Thank you.!

Brad and his crew of Lisa, Winter and Shane provided excellent service in the process of resodding our front lawn. They shared their expertise on managing the care of the new lawn and were very professional and friendly while they worked. The crew arrived on time as planned and ensured that when completed all areas were in immaculate condition and to our satisfaction. Very well done. Thank you, Brad

The Lay of the Land team are truly the best in the business! They were meticulous about every detail, their vision and high standards kept the quality of the work exceptional from start to finish. The results were beyond what we imagined, absolutely worth every penny. We couldn’t be more impressed or grateful for their outstanding care of our home and beautiful result of our backyard transformation!

We are so thankful to have met Brad and through him, the amazing crew of Lisa, Winter, Gabby and Kevin. In the spring, we were in awe of how Lisa and her awesome crew treated our backyard as if it was their own. Lisa brought our vision to life and our backyard now looks elegant, beautiful and brand new again. Lisa and her crew came back this weekend for an early fall cleanup for our annual thanksgiving party and we were just thrilled with the way they completely refreshed the backyard and entertaining spaces for us. Her attention to detail is incredible but what is truly so unique and hard to find anywhere else is how much she cares about what is important to her clients and bringing that to life and then some. We are so thankful and appreciative of her skill and talent and the level of care and excellence she brings to her projects!

Brad and his team got referred to us by my father-in-law to do some work in our front and backyard and were so happy we did. When we met with Brad, we told him about all our wants and needs and he quickly came back with ideas for a way forward. Once we agreed on a proposal, his team executed our vision with speed and accuracy. They worked through the hottest days of the summer and had the work done on time as promised. Were thrilled with the finished product and now get to enjoy our property in a way we weren't able to before thanks to Brad and his team.

Thank you Brad and co!!!

Brad and his crew operate not only from a dual position of professionalism and knowledge but also, from a lens of care and gentleness toward their clients. Their recent work on enhancements to my mother’s garden brought her great joy. Brad and his wonderful team were exceptional to work with throughout the process. Our deepest appreciation & respect!

Working with Brad and his crews at Lay of the Land has been a wonderful experience. We have used their services on three occasions now and been incredibly happy with the results on all of the jobs. Brad is a very knowledgeable individual with great ideas, while also being really good at listening to what you like (types of plants, colours, shapes, etc) and integrating it all together into a fantastic final product.

Our first job was just a standard yard clean-up combined with the relocating of some existing Rose of Sharon bushes in our backyard. This was a great idea from Brad on how to use some of our existing plants we had in the yard to spruce up the appearance without the need for a bunch of new plants. He doesn't pressure you to rip everything out and start over, which we really appreciated.

Shortly after the clean-up was done we had another crew come back to help us with our backyard patio consisting of paver stones surrounding a pool. Multiple areas had shifted and settled creating tripping hazards, and Brad's crew did a great job of lifting and re-laying the stones after properly correcting the issues underneath. The end result was a much smoother, safer surface, that properly sloped away from the edge of the pool.

Our third job was the largest by far, it involved ripping out our entire front garden. It had been taken over by aggressive ground covers and contained several old shrubs and bushes full of deadwood that were beyond saving and needed to be removed. He preserved our existing Japanese maple and basically removed everything else, creating a new defined edge in the process. We got to pick out our own limestone boulder and the fine folks at Lay of the Land even replanted hens and chicks that were from my wife's grandparents' garden into the new boulder. The attention to detail and care with which the work was done really made us feel like we were working with the best. We couldn't be happier with our new front garden.

To finish off, the proverbial cherry on top, Brad always had a great Star Wars joke or meme to share that we could have a laugh over. It was genuinely a pleasure to work with him and his crews and we would highly recommend their services for anyone looking for help with these types of projects. Thanks Brad!

Brad Coultes and his team at Lay of the Land did an absolutely wonderful job on my back garden. From start to finish, they were professional and easy to work with, attentive to detail, and really cared about getting everything just right. The end result exceeded my expectations— the space has been completely transformed, and it now feels like a little oasis I can truly enjoy. I’d highly recommend Brad and his team to anyone looking to bring new life to their garden.
