Distinctive Designs Landscaping

We had a 50-60 year-old enormous, falling-down shed taking up a significant amount of space in our backyard. We got a few quotes to remove it and redesign our backyard. Kurt was creative, reliable and very flexible when it came to adjusting his proposal based on our budget. He and his team removed our shed with great care (which was appreciated by our neighbours who asked for a referral!) and transformed a grubby, small backyard into a nicely designed space with new fences, a mini-stoned wall and a nice stoned sitting area. When we raised a couple of small questions, Kurt returned to review the final project and make some small adjustments. We are happy with the result and would definitely hire Kurt and his team again.

We hired Kurt and his crew to completely landscape our front porch, driveway and front yard which included removal of the old porch and gardens. Unfortunately the job was delayed, but this was due to weather. The entire job took approx. 2 weeks which was right on target and the final cost of the project was exactly what was quoted initially which was the most competitive price of the companies we interviewed. Kurt and his team were very attentive to what we wanted and were more than willing to make any changes that we requested along the way and offered suggestions as well. They worked the entire day during the week which was refreshing given what we had heard about other companies. Kurt ensured us that if we had any concerns or issues following completion of the project that we could call him anytime which confirmed his dedication to his work. Overall we couldn't be happier with the finished product and will be hiring Kurt to landscape our backyard next year. We highly recommend Kurt and his team.

My husband and I hired Kurt to lay a flagstone patio in our backyard, to create and plant 2 new gardens, and to lay stone and stepping stones at the side of our home. He and his crew completed the job on time, they were extremely dependable, and were always pleasant to deal with. The end result was beautiful! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kurt and Distinctive Designs to anyone!

I decided to sell my home and had to get it ready quickly. I needed to improve the curb appeal by repairing the stairs and porch and adding a border down the side of the driveway. Kurt was the only one who was willing to do it for me quickly. He rearranged some other things to accommodate my rush job. His crew pulled it off in the very tight timeframe and did a great job. Thanks Kurt!

I called around a few places to get a landscaping quote. Distinctive Designs Landscaping was the only company to get back to me within 24 hours. They came out to give me a quote and I found there price very reasonable. Very professional from the get go and the work they did was the same. I would use these again and definitely refer them.

From the moment we met Kurt, we knew we had found the professional to turn our yard into a living space worthy of admiration by family, friends, and passers-by. He worked with us to design a front and backyard living space that we truly enjoy on a daily basis. He listened to our ideas, made appropriate suggestions, but never pressured us into making hasty decisions. He was patient, and he made sure that we were comfortable and reassured with every step of the design and construction process. If and when there were any issues that arose, he was always eager to listen and resolve any concerns. What transpired is a space we absolutely love. Our only regret is that we don’t have more friends to whom we can recommend him. We would work with him again in a heartbeat! Thanks so much, Kurt!

We had Distinctive Designs put in a backyard patio. Once the project was started, it was completed in a timely fashion. We are very happy with the quality of the work and the materials used to complete the project. We have received several compliments on our new patio, and will be looking for Kurt to give us a quote on our next job.

We hired Kurt to help with the terrible grade in your backyard.

Kurt was very approachable, knowledgable, professional and offered suggestions when needed. He and his crew were always there when they said they would be and put in long days to complete the project. Kurt has checked in on the project several times since completion and I am very confident that should any issue arise in the future he will handle it promptly.

I was initially upset about having to put in a retaining wall as I felt that it would make the yard feel smaller but now that it is in it is a beautiful focal point and the yard actually seems larger.

We will definitely use him when we do our front yard in a couple years. I would highly recommend him to anyone and we are extremely happy with our backyard now.

I called Kurt and he responded fairly promptly in spite of it being his very busy season. His crew came and completed the job in one day. The end result was a great looking pathway and the rebuilding of the steps from the front porch, I was happy with the work done and would recommend him, highly!

We would recommend Distinctive Designs to anyone and already have! We did not know what to expect when we first decided to go ahead with our patio plans and called Kurt in based on his reviews on this website. He was quick to respond and came over to discuss our plans. He suggested creative ideas and helped us to spend our money as wisely as possible. On top of that, his prices were very reasonable relative to the other companies we spoke to.

It was refreshing to know that the original contractor was on site for the entire project. The results are breathtaking and beyond our wildest imaginations. Kurt's workmanship and attention to detail are clear as the whole project looks phenomenal. Kurt stayed on his original quotation and started well in advance of his original prediction, which was a welcomed surprise.

All in all, we love our new patio and are extremely pleased to recommend Kurt and his team. We have already been approached by neighbours asking who did our landscaping, which really speaks for itself. You can't go wrong with Distinctive Designs.
