Distinctive Designs Landscaping

Kurt and his team transformed our backyard in summer 2019. We are late getting this review out, but we've been singing his praises for months!

The Distinctive Designs team's attention to detail, focus on our job and hard work was truly second to none. They had a big job ahead of them including digging up a ton of concrete, demo, building a deck, laying stone (with gorgeous border detail), building a fence, built-in BBQ, lighting, and landscaping. They were always on time, there was fantastic communication throughout the project, consistent updates and transparency around challenges, collaboration on design (encouragement and patience when we made changes!), clean-up every day, and even consistent follow up after the project was done to ensure our satisfaction. Kurt and his team are respectful not only of our needs but also the community - talking to neighbours and remaining courteous all-round. We honestly couldn't be happier. If you want beautiful work, done on time AND on budget work with Distinctive Designs.

We truly cannot express how thrilled we are with the HUGE job that Kurt and his awesome team did at our house this past summer. Right from the first phone call to Kurt last winter through to the completion of a month long project, Kurt was professional, approachable, informative, an absolute pleasure to deal with - not to mention that he is ridiculously hard working. Through multiple meetings with Kurt he worked with us to create what we had dreamt to be our perfect designs, both front and back. He suggested things that we would have completely regretted not doing, and he gently pushed when he felt we might be making a poor decision (we would have been kicking ourselves if we hadn't listened to him and done landscape lighting). With that said, he was always completely respectful and realized when we may not agree. We literally could not be happier with the results of our project which included complete front and back landscaping, stone work including stone porch, an interlock walkway and driveway, backyard set of gorgeous steps, walkway, gas fire pit, irrigation system and landscape lighting. We have no doubt that the workmanship will last for many, many years but we also have great comfort knowing that if something were to need adjustment, Kurt would be here as soon as possible to make it right. Kurt was a master at making changes on the fly whether it be adjusting our plan or adding in things that we hadn't thought of in advance (like a row of cedars that were planted before we even knew they'd arrived). Normally having a group of guys around daily for 4 weeks could prove to be overwhelming, however these guys were an absolute pleasure. They were respectful, friendly, and like Kurt, incredibly hard working. We could not imagine having used anyone else for this project.
Anyone considering landscape work should absolutely give Kurt a call, we highly recommend Distinctive Designs Landscaping and we would use them again in a heart beat! Thanks Kurt and Team!!

Kurt and his crew were super professional and super easy to work with. No surprises, in fact they over delivered. The job was done in the time frame that they said it would be. The work area was always clean when they left for the day and completely respected my neighbours property during the construction. I would highly recommend Kurt and his crew. The workmanship is exceptional!

Kurt has done 4 jobs for me. Two at my old house and two at my new house. Twice I was out of town when the work was done. I am very pleased with the work he and his crew did. They were on time, cleaned up after the work was done each day. Kurt is a very honest and forthright contractor. You will not go wrong with him. Kurt it was a pleasure to have met you and your crew. Cheers.

We're very pleased with Kurt and his team's work on our new front yard hardscaping project. Kurt was able to take our initial ideas and build on them to come up with an attractive design and quality materials. One the work was underway the Distinctive Designs team worked efficiently and got the job done as promised.

Kurt is indeed focused on conceiving and delivering distinctive designs and we would recommend them to anyone looking for a landscaping contractor that is committed to delivering standout work.

Kurt and his team were really fantastic. From the first interview to the final touch-ups, they were responsive and professional. We had an idea of what we wanted and Kurt was able to steer us to exactly what we wanted. He and his team ran into some obstacles along the way, came up with solutions and kept me fully apprised. At the end, I decided to have my weeds replaced with a lawn (that should buy me another few years) - No problem for DDL - they STILL completed the work on time.

Thanks Kurt - to you and your team.

Kurt and his team were professional and dedicated to our project. Kurt was able to coordinate the seamless completion of other services such as irrigation and paving. It was great to work with this team, and we hope to have them back again next year.

BIG thank you to Kurt and team at Distinctive Designs.
You guys did a phenomenal job getting our backyard patio done. We are in awe of your work, professionalism, quick turn around time and outstanding quality overall.

We thank you for hard work and for delivering exactly what we envisioned. We’ll definitely be back to continue our other yard projects! Great team, great work!

We are so pleased with the work Kurt and his team did at our house. From conception to execution, Kurt was a pleasure to work with. In front, we had some trees removed, new sod put down, fresh asphalt driveway, seating area created, along with new walkway to front of the house. Along the side, he replaced walkway and steps leading to backyard. Kurt and his crew put in 11+-hour days whenever the sun was shining and had the job completed in one week. They were courteous and kind and a pleasure to be around. We found the price to be very reasonable and have told our friends that should they be looking to get some landscaping work done, we are more than happy to recommend Kurt!

Our backyard was in desperate need for a makeover. We had a family of raccoons living under our rotting deck, as well as a broken down hot tub. Kurt had been working on this project with us for almost three years (we had some personal delays), in which he always kept in contact with us, to check in with our planning. He came out of his way to see us more than a handful of times to revise our design, materials, and budget. My husband and I were thoroughly impressed by Kurt and his team's professionalism, hardwork, and just being down-to-earth and accomodating. The quality of Distinctive Designs work is exceptional! The accuracy and detail of their work is simply beautiful. We had a stone patio with an inground firepit installed, concrete shed pad, as well as an open concept deck- we couldn't be happier. Thanks Kurt and Team- I would highly recommend Distinctive Designs Landscaping ...coming from the perfectionist that I am :)
