We waited 12 years to execute the backyard that would be our oasis. After an unpleasant experience doing our front yard we were extremely hesitant about choosing another contractor. Mike came highly recommended by a colleague of my husband’s. We went and saw his yard and several other Kingscape projects and were very impressed with their work. Equally impressive were the positive comments about Kingscape’s work ethic. We had many meetings with Mike face to face and quite a few revisions to our plans – he was very patient with this process. Mike came up with a final plan that incorporated everything we were hoping for. He cleverly created different “zones” in our yard for different activities and it works so beautifully - even incorporating a space for a future pool if we choose to add one. Mike was extremely patient/helpful when decisions about stone didn't go smoothly. Even cancelling an order after I rushed to approve something I regretted later that day. He worked very hard to ensure our complete happiness and managed to find exactly what I was describing to him. The stone work in our yard is beautiful and I thank him for hanging in there and finding something so perfect. The Kingscape team are very polite and treat your home, neighbours and street with care. Several neighbours commented they were amazed how they would clean up the street in the evening before they left. My sons would race home from school to see Mike, Justin and the crew and watch their machines at work. Our project started a little later than hoped but one has to consider these guys are dependent on the weather. When Mother Nature isn't on their side then things can take longer than planned. Our hardscape was finished late in 2013 and the trees, plants and nightscaping went in this spring. We couldn't be more pleased with the results. Worth waiting for! We have enjoyed most dinners outside this summer. Having the covered pavilion is wonderful - even when lightly raining we can still enjoy the outside.. While I was unsure of the need for a fire pit at first, it really is a wonderful addition. Very relaxing to sit around it in the evening. We've received so many compliments and can’t speak highly enough of Mike and the Kingscape crew. We are meeting with Mike soon to plan phase 2.
