Landscape

Rick and his team did exemplary landscaping work for me this summer. They showed up when they said they would. They were courteous and respectful. And the end result was better than I had envisioned I would happily recommend Hofstetter Landscaping to my friends. Thanks Rick for a wonderful front yard!

Front yard and stairs landscaping

Had our stairs and retaining walls replaced. Rick was very helpful in dealing with the city permits etc. Work was done promptly, cleanly, and now still looks good over 2 years later. When we had the railing put in, the workmen said they had never seen such level stairs.

Hi Reet
We appreciate you taking the time over the holidays to provide us with this review, thank you!
There definitely were some challenges with getting the permits, with the wait time and approvals.
Rick and his crew truly are experts in their field, and they all work together to achieve the end result.
Stairs and retaining walls, show the expertise Rick has acquired working in landscaping for 30+ years!
We look forward to working with you again.
Happy New Year!

Major Hardscaping and Landscaping Work in our Back and Front gardens.

My partner and I have lived in our home in Riverdale for over 20 years. During this time, we have had several major renovations done, all of which were very successful. This past summer, we finally got around to having some major landscaping and hardscaping done to our front and back yard areas. Hofstetter Landscaping came highly recommended to us by friends for whom Rick and his team had done two projects. I will say, without question, this has been the best experience we've had in doing a renovation to our home. Rick and Ashleigh were geninunely invested, from the first time we spoke, in making sure that we would have open and on-going communication to ensure that we would be happy with the work they did for us.
I will say that we were beyond happy!! Rick and his team were professional and very respectful throughout the process. Communication was excellent. Rick is, without question, the hardest-working and most hands-on contractor with whom we've ever worked. He was also very open to suggestions and last-minute changes we brought to him. We would give Rick and his team the highest recommendation to any of our friends or family who were looking to have work done on their home.
Thank you, Rich and Ashleigh for your professionalism and for being so hands-on throughout the process.

David and Mario, I have no words!
You both know that for me, it's impossible!
We can't thank you enough for writing this glowing review!
Both Rick and myself work alongside each from start to finish with every project.
It is always our objective to provide the best customer service, and to insure that the job is completed 100% to your satisfaction.
You both had a vision, after meeting a few times, both Rick and myself were able to envision what the outcome would be.
It was far greater than we had ever anticipated!
The transformation was absolutely incredible!
It has been an absolute pleasure meeting and working alongside you both.
We look forward to working with you both again!
Happy New Year!

Driveway and Garden Renovation

Decided to have our son's wedding in the backyard. Needed to have our driveway repaired with pavers so that wheelchairs could get back there. Also needed to have our yard landscaped, new sod laid and an old fence torn down and replaced. That work had to be scheduled around the wedding (the fence had come down before and the new one put up after the wedding). All work was done as promised and on time. Job site was cleaned up afterward. Rick and his crew were accommodating and easy to work with. Thanks

Fantastic work in such a short time line.

Had a leak in my basement. Rick and his crew replaced the weeping tiles in front of my house. At the same time created a beautiful walkway in front of my house (see pictures). The work was done in such a short time. (They even worked late in the evening. Can't wait for Rick to fix our stairs.

landscaping

I found Hofstetter Landscaping on BBB. I had just inherited my fathers home which needed a lot of work.
Rick came out to the house and saw what I wanted to do and gave me his opinion when asked. I liked him right away as he seemed no nonsense and knew the job.
We then corresponded by phone inwhich he sent me quotes and diagrams of what the finished area would look like. He worked with me as I had to change my mind a few times on the type of fence I wanted etc.
I had complete confidence in his ability and was excited.
Rick and his group worked from sun up till sun down and completed my back yard in no time at all. The end result is a beautiful fenced in backyard with an amazing walkway and patio. Since that time his wife and I have stayed in touch as we found we have a lot in common. I would trust Rick with the keys to my home when I'm not there. Thank you Rick for the beautiful backyard.

Landscaping

Approximately 5000 square feet of our back yard required to be recontoured and sodded. An area near the ravine is heavily treed and even after extensive trimming proved to be a challenge for the grass.

Rick and his team were not satisfied and returned this fall to reseed the whole area, and will be back in late spring to reseed it again to ensure that the new lawn is fully satisfactory.

Hofstetter Landscaping is a pleasure to work with and has proven to be fully committed to customer satisfaction.
I highly recommend them to anyone needing landscape work.

Garden retaining wall, new steps, driveway interlock surround

Rick and his team did an incredible job on our front project. Rick came up with an excellent solution for our garden retainer wall. We get constant compliments from neighbours on how nice it looks. The work was done well. Clean up was immaculate. Was happy to accept Ricks suggestions as he has considerable expertise in his field. I think the little things make a difference like the fact that they sloped the final bricks to the sidewalk, which left a much smoother appearance. Something I don’t see with other retaining walls. The driveway surround is well done and gives a modern look. Thanks to Rick and his team, including Ashley and her excellent communication skills!

More about Hofstetter Landscaping

Landscaping Contractors & Designers, Interlocking Stone.

OWNERSHIP AND CREDENTIALS
Hofstetter Landscaping is owned and operated by Rick and Ashleigh Hofstetter. Our “baby” was born in 1989 and is now 23 years old. (In case you’re wondering how old we are...suffices to say we are evergreens. :-) Did we tell you we are a landscaping company?)
From the beginning, we have always endeavoured to do the best quality work possible for our clients. We specialize in landscaping and that’s one of the reasons our “baby” has no siblings—no sister companies, no associates, no partners, no branches. Landscaping is what we do and we do it really well.

A TORONTO LANDSCAPING COMPANY WITH A DIFFERENCE
Ever since we started, and even more so now, we find the market exploding with Toronto landscaping companies that make a big noise about “cheap, cheap”. Now, if they were selling birds, it would be okay, but they are not, right? And yet, we often lose a job to a cheap company that “specializes” in being a “Jack-of-all-trades”. Do we want to compete with them? No. But does that mean we are frightfully expensive? Not at all! In fact, our goal is always to ensure that our customers get the best value for money and a landscape that makes them the envy of the neighbourhood without breaking the bank.

As we come across customers who do their due diligence by comparing quotes, we are very mindful and respectful of the fact that one needs to be price conscious. It’s when we are told about a competitive quote that implies “the other guy” can get the job done for less than it costs us to buy quality materials, the alarm bells go off. He needs a hefty deposit from you to pay his guys for the last job done, and of course, there is always that famous curbside taillight guarantee!

We would like to go on and tell you what we have learned and found out in these past 23 years but you wouldn't be able to read it all...

WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE TO ENGAGE OUR LANDSCAPING SERVICES IN TORONTO

All we want to say is this—we do top quality work with a guarantee you can count on, every single time. If it’s not to your liking we'll do what it takes to make it right. We'll be there in years to come, particularly if the weather has given the work a beating.

• We are fully covered with 5 million liability insurance and WSIB approved.
