Earth & Sole

A number of years ago we worked with Shelby and Adrian and their team on our backyard. This year, they entirely redid the front yard: regrading, concrete work, paving, sod and beds. The result is just beautiful (and practical! lots of work done to ensure good water run-off). As a team they combine significant expertise and a great eye with professionalism and reassurance. And the crew they work with is just fantastic. Would absolutely recommend...half my block wants to work with them now, just from seeing what they do and how they do it.

Working with earth & sole was nothing short of awesome. Seeing Shelby and Adrian's excellent design come to life was exciting, they have a skilled and professional team, and we knew we were in good hands. The quality of their work is meticulous. They completely transformed our backyard and we now have a beautiful haven to relax, play and entertain in. I can't recommend earth & sole highly enough. Thank you!

Adrian and Shelby redid our backyard (new paving, custom pergola, staggered planters, cutting back/cleaning up). They had great design ideas, which they pulled together beautifully. We are really happy with the quality of the work and with the finished look. We found Shelby and Adrian easy to work with - they asked lots of good questions and were patient with ours - and their crew very personable and professional. We're already contacting them about further work...we need a lovely front to match the lovely back! Really highly recommended.

After doing a wonderful job with our backyard last summer, we had Earth and Sole come back to do our front yard this year. We are very happy with the quality of work and the polite and courteous crew. The job looks fantastic and was done right on time.

We had Shelby and Adrian totally redo our backyard. They leveled and laid a large flagstone patio, built some gorgeous cedar planter boxes with seating, re-sodded the rest of the lawn and put in a great durable high shade garden at the back. They showed up on time and finished on time. Both of them had great guidance along the way for us when decisions came up. We had a great experience and we're having them back in 2014 to do our front.

Earth and Sole has been creating some beautiful seasonal urns for us over the last few years, and when it came time for a complete re-design of the front and side of our house, we were more than confident in their abilities. Even so, they exceeded our expectations! We were looking to have a privacy fence built along the side of our house, as well as new steps, stone walkway, and a complete overhaul of our front garden. We are exceptionally pleased with the results! Shelby is a visionary who really brought to fruition all that we were hoping to achieve ~ she worked closely with us throughout what was an organic and consultative process and was amenable to making changes as the work progressed. Shelby, along with Adrian, have a wonderful team and they are all professional and personable - it was fun to come home each day and see the progress! There is now a very handsome horizontal cedar fence along the side of our house, which is very appealing from both a design and practical regard - and which greatly compliments the new stone pathway, front garden and sod. The curb appeal to our home has been considerably improved, and we look forward to having them back next year to tackle the back yard! Rhonda

I have used Earth & Sole on two occasions now to design and plant containers on my downtown terrace - last fall and just last week - and I can't recommend Shelby's work highly enough. She has a great eye, works very efficiently, and she is incredibly pleasant to deal with.

My backyard started out as a giant eyesore -- a mud pit filled with weeds. Shelby and Adrian and their crew transformed it into a fantastic outdoor living space and garden. I'm having them back next spring to do my front yard. Highly recommended !!

I am very happy with the whole project. Very impressed with how neat and tidy the space was left each evening and all the small extras provided. Earth and Sole have a great team.

Thank you for taking my small budget and giving me a lovely oasis - perfect for those cocktails.

Creative, knowledgable and reliable - these three words sum up my experience with the garden and design landscape services done for me by Earth and Sole.
This company created and maintained both a very extensive perennial rock garden on the steep slope in front of my Beaches Area home and a lovely backyard garden. They completely redesigned my backyard, including installing a flagstone patio and extensive gardens. They created a water feature in the midst of beautiful, sturdy and well chosen plants that added greenery to winter months and colour to summer, spring and fall despite its very shady nature. As well they made sure that the garden provided privacy all year round. In addition, I always enjoyed the creative and colourful seasonal urn fills they do throughout the year to celebrate each change of season.
I recommend this company highly for all your outdoor needs and am already using them again at my new residence.
