    Backyard/Driveway Reno

    We hired Land Con to undertake a major renovation of our backyard, including a new and expanded stone patio, installing an outdoor kitchen and pergola, all new landscaping, waterproofing and a new driveway. We selected LandCon after meeting them at the Toronto Home Show and researching their past projects and reviews on Home Stars. The whole process and overall experience was as we hoped. The initial planning process with Taylor was informative and interactive, and we were really pleased with Taylor’s 3D modeling of our ideas and input. We had a great work crew with John and his team who worked very hard and deliberately to turn the plan into reality during the hottest and most humid days of the summer. We were fortunate that we were home most days during construction and could deal with the various issues (and there were some as there is in any construction project) in a timely way. There was very good communication throughout with Taylor, John and the crew, and with Jeremy (LandCon’s co-owner) who visited the project on a regular basis and provided many emails and texts on the status of the work. We were even able to take advantage of the time the crew was here to add a small project of laying new sod in our front yard. All told, it took about a month to complete the planning phase and 5-6 weeks from the start of construction to the finish and we are extremely pleased with the work and the transformation of our backyard. We look forward to many years of pure enjoyment. Thank you everyone at LandCon!

    Backyard Deck, Interlock, and Landscaping

    Our new house had nothing other than grass in the backyard, and we had a rough idea what we wanted, but had difficulty coming up with a design. The design team at Land-Con developed a 3D model of the plan, and we could make changes to help make it the way we wanted. This was a huge plus since everything could be visualized before the project started. After many revisions, we ended up deciding on a deck, interlocked patio, walkway, and multiple garden beds. Land-Con took care of all aspects of the project. Jeremy stayed engaged throughout the whole process, everywhere from getting the permits for our deck, to keeping us up to date on the schedule, and ensuring we were satisfied with the work. We couldn't be happier with our backyard, we look forward to many years of enjoyment! Thank you Land-Con!

    Backyard project

    A backyard project made easy with Land Con Ltd. The project began with a visit fro the designer, Taylor, who provided initial throughts and rough budget estimates. I really enjoyed seeing the project come to life with their 3D program, which allows you to imagine what the space will look like. The project was to start in June, but to my great surprise, it started at the end of April. Total time to complete a 475 sq ft backyard hard scape project was about 30 days, including a custom built BBQ, lighting, and landscaping, etc...The project management team of Jeremy and Ofer are first class and great communicators. They kept me informed every step of the way. I would strongly recommend Land Con to anyone undertaking a transformation of their outdoor space.

    Answer from pro:

    It was a pleasure working with you. We love when our clients wants to get involved and know all that is going on. The out come was great and we hope you will enjoy the outdoors for years to come. P.S. Thanks very much for the referral. Should be another fun and interesting project.

    Landscaping Project

    We had been planning a backyard renovation for many years, collected many ideas (covered patio, fireplace, outdoor kitchen, water feature, gardens, etc.), and wondered if these could be put together. We called several highly rated contractors on Home Stars but found only one that we felt could handle the job. Land-Con designer, Taylor, incorporated all our ideas into a beautiful design and proposed more elements to tie everything together. We were so impressed that we extended the project to the front yard and driveway. The crews are professional and courteous and co-owner Jeremy was on top of everything. He visited the site every day, gave frequent updates, and was accommodative to changes. We are very happy with the results and would highly recommend Land-Con to anyone. Mary & Angelo S.

    Complete backyard re-do

    Couldn’t be happier that we chose LandCon to design and landscape our backyard! Our yard was destroyed after underpinning our basement and despite being a small area with complicated grading, they came up with an amazing design and worked within our budget to make it a reality. They graded and installed retaining walls, fences, a giant built-in pergola, rock features and a small garden bed. There are still a few bits and pieces to do now, as the bulk of the work was done at the end of the fall, but we are so pleased with the project. Highly recommend!

    Landscaping/pool/logia/cabana

    We had a large project consisting of front and backyard landscaping, pool, cabana, outdoor kitchen/BBQ, and a glass enclosed logia (four season room) with heated floors. We chose Land-Con because their pricing was reasonable and fair but mainly because they answered all our questions without being condescending (which I found some other companies were). The project took longer than expected but was because we couldn't proceed on certain things without getting the permits first (City's delay not Land-Con). We made a few changes to our original design and had great ideas and input from both Jeremy and Taylor. The whole team was very nice and accommodating and we didn't have any issues with any of them, even though there were a lot of different teams working simultaneously and separately. We had a few surprises when our old deck was removed but everything was resolved fairly easily. Our front yard and back yard both look beautiful and we're very happy with the entire experience.

    Hi Jessica, Thank you for the great review, it was a pleasure working with you as well. We hope that you get a lot of enjoyment out of your new oasis!

    Backyard Deck

    The Landcon team came to assess our backyard, and help us put a vision together. After the meeting they supported the design with a rendering of the space. When the work began they were professional, and stayed on budget and on time while delivering a quality work product. We are thrilled with the final result.

    Backyard patio/pool/stairs combination

    This is the second time Jeremy and Ofer have come through for us. They installed a 1,200 sqft patio/pool surround in our backyard, transforming it from what we used to laughing refer to as a nuclear cooling pond into Shangri-La. This project was actually a couple of years in the making as we dithered about design and what to do with such a large area. Taylor was really patient with us and re-worked the design a few times to our needs. When the time came to build it, the crew was every bit as great as the first one that did our massive retaining wall, driveway and front stairs. The level of quality was for sure there and when we had to have a subterranean issue with the pool pipes addressed, the person that came to do it was impressed at how deep the actual work went below grade. Land-Con coordinated seamlessly with our sprinkler team, helping them make any adjustments or additions that were needed. They even installed conduit channels under everything so we could add a firepit and connect our BBQ with no visible lines. Another awesome job by Land-Con! I will get some photos up soon!!!

    Answer from pro:

    Wow, thanks for the great review! We have certainly done a lot of work at your house over the years. Were always glad to work with you when you call for some more renovations!

    80s Backyard Reno

    Our 80s back yard was in serious need of an update, and full reno, including pool. We got three quotes, Land-Con was one. In fact, Land-Con was the only one to break out the quote in detail, and provide a full 3D plan of what we had discussed. We met with Taylor and Ofer, and couldn't have been happier - honest, trust worth guys who Love what they do. Part way through, we had a couple of changes and add ons, and Ofer and Taylor kept the whole process smooth and seamless. I added a front address sign that i had seen in a photo, Taylor made it happen just based on my vague description - and even better than the photo. Fantastic service, we love the end result, and can't wait for Spring Summer to enjoy our new Back yard! Thank you Land-Con!

    Answer from pro:

    That's great to hear that you are so happy with our service. If there is anything you need in the future... we are just a phone call away. Thanks again and enjoy your new landscape!!!

    flower box retaining walls rebuilt

    In August 2017, Landcon demolished and rebuilt six flower box retaining walls in the front and side of my home. First the positives: their price was mid-range reasonable, they found an earlier more convenient start date for me, they finished on schedule in three weeks, and owners Ofer and Jeremy seemed knowledgeable and professional. I also appreciated Taylor's computerized planting diagram. The negatives: I believe I chanced upon a subpar work crew. The foreman was grumpy every day, and the workers did not seem careful or invested in the job. An overly large amount of mortar had to be used to make the bricks level and the walls are not completely straight. Only when I pointed out a shortage of a material called geogrid as a worker was bricking over it, was more geogrid ordered and applied. The company seems well run and established, so maybe other work crews employed by Landcon will do better work.

    Answer from pro:
