Earthscape designed and implemented beautiful stonework around our pool, including a patio and stairs coming into the yard. Their attention to detail was excellent.

Earthscape was wonderful to work with. The team was great. Cailey Bradshaw was excellent to work with, and took the time to review our design and costs multiple times during the process, till we were comfortable. Craig Diefenbacher was our site manager and his crew was very professional and considerate of our neighbours during construction. Thank you so much, we love our backyard.

Earthscape has been a great company to work with. The people are amazing and really care about what they do. They are creative and have great ideas. We wanted a very contemporary design for our back yard and they have nailed it! I highly recommend them.

Thank you so much to the Earthscape team for a fantastic job with our backyard project. Sam, Jenna, Chris, Richard and Team! All interactions and work was excellent including attention to details, always clean, and working with other contractors while our pool was installed at the same time. So easy to talk to, work with, very organized & fast! These qualities are hard to find these days in contractors so we are very appreciative of all you did for us. Thank you...Angela

We were very pleased with the Earthscape team. We engaged them to completely redo our landscaping from the design to the execution. Then we chose to retain them for the maintenance. The crew, to a person, were all polite, considerate, knowledgeable and skilled. We look forward to watching our gardens grow and would highly recommend Earthscape to others.

We are beyond thrilled with the work Earthscape completed for us this summer. From designing and completing a front walkway to some backyard landscaping/beds, they were professional, efficient and a pleasure to deal with.
