I've had the pleasure of working with Adrian and Upscaled Yard & Gardens for the past couple of…read moreyears. There are two main differences in working with this company, as opposed to others: 1) The work is going to get done better than you envisioned. Adrian takes as much pride in his work as you would. Maybe more. 2) The price is much more reasonable than others we've had quoted. Adrian will communicate with you. I'm constantly surprised how considerate he is of your time, and all of his customers. You know when he's there, when he's leaving and when he'll be back. He takes a great deal of pride in his work; it really shows. I had him help me with the landscaping before a September wedding on the lower patio. Everyone commented on how good it looked.

They started out well and appeared to have a good work ethic and good standards however, I believe…read morethey were just good sales people. As the work progressed, they appeared to be in a rush to finish the job. The quality of work and materials they used were very poor. I have had to take away the soils they used for the grass and garden beds because it was basically sand and rock that grew nothing in it. The rock walls they built are falling apart and anytime there is a bit of rain the Dirt behind the rock wall is coming through the big gaping holes. They also concreted random pieces on the outside to cover the holes instead of building it properly in the first place. I hired them to renovate my entire front yard and driveway (which they hired out to another company) there is pooling of water on my driveway exactly where the stairs begin to go up the house so when it rains you have to leap over the puddle To get to the stairs that lead to the walkway. They were big talkers when it came to customer service but unfortunately there was no follow through on their word to provide quality service. This job was very costly and I have much regret in hiring them to do the job. I would not recommend this company to anyone for anything.

We met with Teigan Scott and Jill Forman from VI Outdoors, had a great conversation regarding our landscaping project, were promised they would do the landscaping design (once they received the payment, it will take 5-10 days) and then they could start the work 2nd week of May. We agreed, we paid for the design and waited two weeks and didn't receive anything. I started calling, but no one ever answers the phone (the only time they did when they were expecting $). I sent several emails, then finally got an email back with an excuse, why we didn't receive anything yet, with a promise to get something soon. When we finally received the design, you could see that it was done in a hurry, plants were put where there is no room to put any plants..anyway, in the email we were asked to make changes, which we did the next day, again in our email we asked if we are still on the track to start the work in Ma, as we are now in 3rd of April. Once again, no reply. I left phone messages and emails, then we got an email back from Teigan, apologizing for the delay and a promise with a time line when she will get back to us when they can start the work and when can we receive the design changed, which was supposed to happen with in days. Once again nothing, after two weeks, we sent them an email asking for a refund! After 9 weeks all we had was poor preliminary design version! After that we never heard back from them. Left messages, sent emails no reply. Save your money and time, do not hire this company!! Unreliable, terrible customer service.

I was delighted with the work that Ivan and his team did in my yard. I wasn't sure what size or…read moretype of garden I wanted, but Ivan had the vision to design and create something so much better than anything I could have dreamed up. He took into consideration my lack of knowledge and basically planted two idiot-proof (and deer-proof) garden areas at the front and back of my property. All I need to do is water and prune and my garden will continue to flourish and grow year after year. Ivan's company also carried out the removal of a large tree that was blocking the sun and creating a mess in my yard and my neighbour's. I had just thought to prune the tree, but I'm so glad I took Ivan's advice and had it removed entirely. It has made a huge difference to the look and feel of my front yard and has brought a great deal more light into the whole area. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ivan to anyone looking for landscaping in the mid-Vancouver Island region, and I look forward to enjoying my new gardens for many years to come.

He created the dream that I always wanted in a subtropical garden, complete with my waterfall feature, lighting and irrigation. This was done in a timely and respectful manner. Ivan was always on time for appointments!!! Where our yard had challenges he provided a number of options for us to choose from. It is evident that he has years of experience and was very knowledgable on what grows in this climate. I was able to hand pick all my trees, shrubs, and plants with the help of his expertise. His workers cleaned up each day before they left. His pricing is fair and cost cutting options that he offered were appreciated.The aim of this company is to please the customer, and I highly recommend them for any landscaping need big or small.
