Testimonials


First, I want to thank Russell. I immediately felt comfortable with him as we discussed my needs and the project grew in size. The staff was amazing. Mark & Angela were exceptionally courteous and professional at all times. They truly wanted me to be satisfied with every step of this lengthy project as we transformed both the front and back into a more useable and eye-appealing property. I started off with a french drain that had long-since failed on a very steep property, two self-made gardens in the back, and a relatively barren, poorly-soiled, steep front yard, with concrete steps pulling away from the front of the house. I am now left with a well-functioning drainage system, extra living space with a beautiful flag stone addition to the side of my back deck, and extended and well tended back gardens.The piece de resistance -- the front yard. My goodness --- my neighbours thought I needed a ribbon cutting ceremony upon completion of the project. The steps and retaining wall are exceptional and the fully landscaped terrace is beautiful.Angela & Mark made sure I was happy with the selection of the perennials, even though some were challenging to locate. I no longer have a difficult-to-mow steep property, but rather a magnificently-terraced front yard. Thank you so much. I highly endorse you, your staff, and their outstanding dedication to their work.

"I would like to thank Janet, Angela, Brooks, and Mark for transforming an otherwise uninspiring garden into one that is a joy to come home to and work in. I was immensely impressed by their professionalism, hard work, the expert advice they provided on all aspects of the project, and a concern to ensure that the garden became one that I had envisioned. They spent the time at the end of each day to put away their equipment, clean the soil off the driveway and otherwise ensure that the property remained unencumbered so that I was not tripping over garden rakes or chain saws! You, yourself, listened to my concerns and ideas, as well as provided your own expertise and translated them at a most reasonable cost into a garden that will give me endless enjoyment for years to come. I will not hesitate to engage your services in the future. Thank you all for a job well done! bravo zulu."

We love the design; it changes the whole look of the entrance to the house. We were highly impressed by the quality of the work provided by your crew. They were not only helpful and friendly but they were also very professional in the way they went about their work. We have had numerous complimentary comments from friends and neighbours and would recommend Groundcover to anyone who asks.

In Feburary we purchased a brand new property located in lake of the woods, Hubley, NS. Although the house was perfect for us, the large plot was completely rough with no landscaping. We approached GroundCover with no idea what landscaping we wanted. They promptly designed a plan and supplied us with various quotations to meet our needs, which we were very pleased with. The team of workers were professional and diligent and they transformed our property to something that we really enjoy coming home to. The overall quality of the work was very high and we are immensely pleased with the final product. I would strongly recommend their work and we would definitely use their services again in the future.

I absolutely love my landscaping!!!! Thank you so much. Your crew is amazing! They are very professional, friendly and accommodating. I’m so impressed with how they paid attention to detail, offered suggestions for future planting and the clean up was great!!! I would certainly recommend Groundcover to everyone. The neighbours are all talking about how great my property looks. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
