James and Chris transformed our outdoor spaces!

At the front, we have a new walkway and garden beds. At the side, we have a beautiful interlock pathway that makes that space look so much bigger. Our neighbours and I agree that it's a perfect spot to extend a party from the backyard!

They did an amazing job with cutting the pavers to fit all the funny shapes that come with the side of a house.

It doesn't hurt that they're really great guys - super friendly and knowledgeable.

10 out 10 - would recommend!

We knew we were going to go with this company since the first meeting with James as he was knowledgeable and certainly understood what we wanted. It turned out we couldn't have made a better choice. James and Chris were very professional, methodical in approaching each job (replacing front steps and walkway, laying down new sod, installing backyard patio, and strengthening the fence), and extremely polite and easy to work with. We'll definitely hire them again.

James and his two guys did a great job landscaping our back yard. They removed a tree we didn't like stump and all and added 6 spruce trees in the gap regraded back yard and laid down new sod and plants we picked out. These guys did a fantastic job and were very easy to work with. GREAT JOB!

I am not sure which my wife and I are more impressed with, how hard working these guys are or how friendly. We would have them back any time! The work was completed in the three weeks James said it would take, and completely to our satisfaction.
The work done was to install interlock to build a base for our dining set in the backyard, install interlock on either side of our deck, install an interlock pathway on 2 sides of the house and down the driveway to the street, and install a half wall also leading to the street. There was some yard work as well, as they planted a row of irises in the front and a row of lavender in the back.
Well done!

Chris from On Grade Landscaping is a master of his trade. He transformed our blah backyard into a show piece... I mean it could debut in a permacon magazine. If you are looking for real professionals Chris, James and team are your guys. Highly recommended.

I was looking for a solution for my backyard as it had gotten too far out of hand for me to fix myself. I had bad drainage, lots of pooling and ponding of water after every rainfall, which made for a generally unpleasant and unusable space. After searching Homestars I found On Grade Landscaping, as they said they specialized in grading and fixing situations like mine.

James was very responsive and set up a site meeting shortly after contacting him. He was out here in January taking measurements and we discussed various options for the space. I wanted to have a clean organized space, with low maintenance gardening and a spot for a pool. and a drainage solution. James suggested a mix of interlock and grass, with some strategically placed garden beds, vegetable garden, and a french drain out the rear of the property to take care of any water drainage from the pool. The quote and a sketch of the design came in promptly and we didn't hesitate to get this job locked down and scheduled so we would be able to enjoy it this summer.

James and Chris were on site at 7am every day, even in the rain, pulling up 40+ patio stones and removing some raised beds that I had put down over the years. Demo, cleanup and install of the space took approx. 9 days from start to finish. I was impressed with the work ethic, even putting in a full day on Good Friday.

This was a particularly challenging job because machine access to my yard is not available, so we arranged to go through on my neighbor's side. The guys were able to get the materials in and out over the course of about 5 days, with great care and minor disturbance to my neighbor and her property They even noted some areas where the machines had caused some sinking on her interlock pathway, and they were diligent in making sure it was left in a condition better than they found it.

I had constant communication from the team from the minute we signed the contract, from tweaking the design, to picking out the stone and the plants - On Grade was a pleasure to deal with, and I'll definitely use them again.

We had wanted to do an outside upgrade for several years and now since we are retiring, we finally did it. Thanks to OnGrade Landscaping Services.

James and Chris did a great job. They were both very respectful and it was a pleasure working them on this project.
Also would like to thank Khadeeja for all her help providing us with numerous emails while making material choices and being able to get
the stones we chose even though there was a shortage.

We hope to enjoy our beautiful areas for years to come .

James is very professional. Always arrived on time. Easy to deal with even when we made changes along the way. Always asked everyday in we happy with progress or if we wanted anything changed. Came everyday until work was completed.
Will be using him again for future projects.

James and Chris did a great job in replacing my front steps and walkway. James was very thorough in understanding my needs and the quote was fair and very detailed. They met all expectations and did a great job removing the old steps and building the new ones. They worked long days and even worked 11 hours one day to finish the job on time. i would highly recommend On Grade Landscaping for anyone looking to have their steps replaced.

James and his guys did a great job. Their estimate was accurate and these gentlemen were efficient and professional. They helped walk us through our choices of patio stones and plants and kept us informed every step of the way. We would be thrilled to have them back next year to do our deck! Highly recommend.
