stonework driveway and backyard path; wooden gateway

Land Effects work was professionally executed from start to finish. The crew worked in an orderly and efficient way such that the job was completed according to the original time schedule.
Keith Evans was a pleasure to work with for the entire project. He made a point of finding out what was important to me and offered good and creative solutions where needed. It was a pleasure doing business with Keith and his team.
I will highly recommend Land Effects to any and all of my family, friends and neighbours. I have already received many compliments on our new driveway!

Transformation of Front Yard

I met Keith's Mom on the bus, described my dismay with the front yard, easily the most unattractive on the block, and she recommended her son. How cute, right.
Within a week, my front yard was transformed. The walkway was replaced with multiple shaped rose-tinted blocks, the garden area was surrounded by stones that appeared natural and integral to the area, and plants were strategically distributed throughout the inner space.
I received rave reviews from virtually every friend and neighbour, and 6 years later, the space continues to look vibrant and healthy and balanced.
The experience was easily one of the most pleasant and fun that I've had.

Deck in back yard, outdoor lighting

My patio backyard was dismal and it was difficult to get to it from the back of the house. Keith gave excellent advice, listened to what I wanted. The work quality was very good and cost effective. I particularly like the trellises and pergodas he builds.

It's always a great challenge to work on projects that present space constraints - and the wrap around deck with glass railings and pergola really became the gateway to the backyard. I enjoyed working with you Wendy ! regards, Keith

Backyard Landscaping (hardscaping)

Keith Evans of Land Effects helped my husband and I complete an on budget, attractive and creative design for our backyard disaster. Many amateur landscape companies walked away from our multi-level, difficult backyard, but not Keith. We found Keith to be very honest and knowledgable in the field. Keith has good connections with many professionals, and so we were able to complete everything from redoing our original Betz gunite pool, to purchasing and planting a beautiful 10 foot Serbian Spruce. Keith also installed beautiful uplights/downlights and recommended the appropriate # needed for our large backyard. We will most definitely be using Keith at 'Land Effects' in the future.

Landscape rear garden, modify deck and install pavers in driveway

It has been a real pleasure to work with Keith Evans and his friendly "Landeffects" team. The transformation in our garden, on our deck, and in the driveway has been wonderful and is a real pleasure to relax in our rear garden now.
Keith's team completed the landscaping, deck changes, and driveway modifications within the estimated time for the project, and was able to accommodate additional items we wanted as the project progressed. It was a very proffessional and quality job.
The detailed cost breakdown approach was good and helped in making decisions on where we wanted to make adjustments.
Keith shared great ideas with us both during the design stage and during the progress of the project, many of which we adopted.
Regular daily communication with Keith helped quickly resolve emerging issues and make the necessary adjustments so that there was no significant hold-ups.
His team did end of day clean-up which helped minimize the disruption.
We would like to thank Keith and his team for doing such a great job, and would highly recommend his services to others.

Landscape Design and Build

We have a very small space at the back of our house that was only used to cook on the BBQ and store our bikes. It was so dismal, but Keith from Land Effects transformed it into a beautiful, serene space that we now practically live in. We absolutely love it!

What's more, Keith was a pleasure to work with. He did the job on time and on budget and communicated with us every step of the way.

Thanks Keith!

install swiming pool, stone patio and grass sod

Keith Evans installed our fiberglass pool last summer, he also made a stone patio and put grass sod in our backyard. He did an excellent job in transforming our backyard in a wonderful outdoor space to spend the summer. He did the whole job in two weeks and we found him very pleasant and easy to deal with. We are very satisfied and would not hesitate to recommend land effects to anyone.

Thank you for your kind words Richardo - pools are such a pleasure to install - The water element transforms our projects especially at night when the lights come on and the moving water sparkling on the trees and walls transforms the Garden ! Keith

Landscaping and Outdoor Construction

After trying for years to fit all of our wants and needs into our tiny back yard, we finally decided to hire a professional designer/landscaper to help us. Since the design was crucial we spent a lot of time up front qualifying Keith Evans to make sure he could & would, do what we wanted. I called references and visited 2 of his projects within a short drive from our home. I was pleased with what I saw. We hired Land Effects after reviewing the final design. He started on time and finished on time and on budget. He also came back a couple of times when we asked him to tweak a couple of things we decided we wanted to change. We are thrilled with the final project and I can honestly say it's one of the nicest landscaping projects I've seen. BTW, Land Effects won an award from Landscape Ontario for our project. Happy to answer questions, or send pictures or links on our project.
