This is what our Clients thought about there new outdoor space

“Our waterfront property needed a significant landscape renovation to beautify the landscaping & irrigation, create usable living and planting spaces and better access to the beach. Creative By Design Landscaping truly captured our vision and needs. With their suggestions, expertise and outstanding attention to detail, the landscapes came to life much better than we ambitioned! They built new walls to create level raised beds with stairs to get to the beach. Also, on the upper level, they built a beautiful paver patio with a new space for the hot tub. They exceeded our expectations, and we are happy to recommend them to anyone looking to upgrade their landscapes!”

M Booth – Nanaimo

“We contacted Creative By Design to look at options for our potential landscapes for our new property because we knew they offered custom designs for landscapes that worked well with our style of home. The drawings they produced complimented the overall scheme, on many different levels, from the patios and walkways, right down to the plants and landscape lighting. They brought some great ideas to the project and It was a pleasure to work with the team.”

M Rodgers – Nanaimo

“Having recently moved into our property, we wanted someone to come in and tidy up the yard front and back. Our property had been vacant for while and was very overgrown. My son recommended i contact Creative By Design Landscaping, as he had used them previously and was very pleased with their results. We contacted them to ask for a quote. Phil came round and met with us to discuss our vision of exactly what we wanted, offering some ideas and solutions as well. The landscapes plan they showed us was clear and concise, and the quote was very detailed with breakdowns for each part of the project. When they started work they worked extremely hard and were very professional and knowledgeable. They cleaned up at the end of each working day leaving everything clean and tidy for our dog. Phil gave us updates regularly as to what was happening. We have been more than pleased with the landscapes they have refreshed for us. The change to the property has been a total transformation to when we moved in. If you’re looking for a landscape makeover, i would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.”
