Take Root Gardens

Matt, Ty and his crew are a pleasure to work with! We have breathed a sigh of relief as we watched the guys at Take Root Gardens design and implement a lovely outdoor space for us after a major home renovation left our yard in a very sorry state. Our yard was transformed from WWI battlefield complete with trenches to a functional and very attractive back yard garden, all while carefully preserving existing plants that we have nurtured over the past 20 years. These guys check off all the boxes: professional, skilled, friendly, reliable. Two thumbs-up, would hire again!

Take Root helped us turn our front yard from a sad concrete slab to a beautiful garden with a flagstone patio. They managed to take our loose vision and create a detailed design that we are so happy with. We have gotten so many compliments from our neighbours. The Take Root team was also great to work with. Every step of the process happened on schedule and they were very clear in communicating timelines and keeping us up-to-date. Highly recommend!

I had a great experience working with Matt, Ty and their team for my patio renovation. From the very beginning they were professional and maintained clear and consistent communication throughout the entirety of the project. They took the time to answer all of my questions and I appreciated that their explanations were both thorough and easy to understand. They quickly accommodated a change in my original plan for the renovation and offered options which made for easy decision making. They helped and provided me with the required paperwork including securing a necessary city permit. The work started and ended on time and on budget. They maintained a clean work area throughout the project such that there was little disruption to everyday life. The end result was outstanding – I could not be happier with how things turned out they really did a quality job and overall made it an enjoyable and easy experience for me. In summary, the Take Root Gardens team was professional, responsive, reliable, produced beautiful and quality results, and just generally were nice and easy to work with.

Matt and Ty transformed our messy barren backyard into a wonderful garden. Take Root is very professional and take great pride in their work (and the results speak for themselves!). We're so glad that we went with them for our garden transformation project. I can't wait to host garden parties and spread the good word about Take Root this summer. Thank you once again Matt and Ty!

We love the Take Root guys! We had never done anything like this before but Matt and Ty took us through it step by step and always had suggestions when things didn't go quite according to plan. We get so many compliments on our new garden and gate. Highly recommend.

Matt, Ty and crew were exceptional in planning and executing our landscape project. We knew generally what we would like but Matt was able to walk us through what would and would not work and came up with a plan that was more than we could have imagined. Ty and his crew made it happen. They were very professional, on time and so considerate of us and our property. I highly recommend Take Root Gardens - look no further!

We are a strata (tri-plex) and replaced 4 garden areas representing our shared front yard. Matt was very responsive to our initial request to meet with us and were very clear regarding the process at each stage. Matt met with us to understand our requirements taking feedback from 5 different members of the strata. The design drawings were excellent and very clear. Both Matt and Ty walked us through the design documents. Matt was again very responsive to our questions at this stage of the project. He always answered every question quickly and clearly. We decided to delay our garden from spring and they were accommodating and provided a new estimated timeline. They recommended we delay a month as the weather was unseasonable hot. They were very invested in ensuring that the project was successful. When the time came to purchase plants, there were a few plants that were not available. Again, Matt communicated with us and sent an updated plan clearly highlighting the changes. They tried to re-use as much as possible including moving a large maple tree. The crew that came onsite were excellent. They were well organized and tidy. Matt completed a post project walk through with us to ensure we were equipped to take care of our new garden. I have nothing but positive comments for Take Root Gardens and would highly recommend their services. Whether you are looking for an initial assessment, a design, and/or implementation. They are fantastic!

We heard about Matt and Ty from good friends who were impressed with the landscaping project recently completed at their house. Getting a referral, we knew we were going to be in good hands but weren’t prepared to be blown away with the service, attention to detail and final product like we were. From the initial visit to the final walk through, Matt and Ty were incredible to work with and we couldn't be happier with our outdoor space. We get so many compliments from neighbours and people walking by our house asking who did our landscaping - we recommend Take Roots to everyone now. Regarding the process, it was seamless. Matt came onsite to meet with us and solict input about our vision for our front and back yard. He listened, asked lots of questions and sent a detailed summary after our meeting which captured everything we discussed for our vision (which was a lot!) Matt is the creative mind in the planning process and we appreciated his ideas, experience and enthusiasm for our project as well as his patience when we went back and forth on the finer details for our plan. Once the plan was finalized, the project was scheduled very quickly. Ty had the unenviable job of figuring out the logistics. We could tell from his unflappable demeanour that we were in good hands. He and his friendly crew showed up every morning on time and always cleaned everything up before leaving for the day. The job was completed as per the schedule and on budget as promised. Matt also came on site for a final walkthrough to ensure we were satisfied with everything and provided details on how to maintain our new plants. We would use Take Root Gardens again without hesitation and recommend them highly for their expertise, professionalism and work ethic.

From start to finish, Matt and Ty provided exceptional service. Matt really listened to our hopes for the property, worked within our budget, and offered excellent design suggestions. Ty’s expertise with the hardscaping of the project was invaluable, as they encountered unexpected challenges along the way. Matt and Ty consulted us with each challenge and change, ensuring that we were happy with the changes (and alerting us to any cost overruns). They and their team started work promptly at 8am each day, created a positive work environment, and left the site clean and orderly at 3pm. Our neighbours loved them as much as we did. When planting, Matt adjusted to our wishes, ensured that only quality plants came into the property, and replaced plants that failed to grow. The project was completed on schedule and on budget. In the end, we invested exactly the amount planned into our property and have an enviably gorgeous backyard living space to enjoy for years to come.

There’s not enough that can be said about the job and service that Matt and Ty and their team have provided for us. My wife and I have had the vision to transform our front yard to make it both aesthetically pleasing and low maintenance and upon doing our online research decided to take “Take Roots Gardens” to task. From day one, upon sending some pictures of our front yard and a brief synopsis of what we were looking to have done, Matt provided us with a timely response addressing our needs with a timeline of the process and an expected ETA of when shovels would hit the ground. Over the next few weeks, Matt was very timely in helping us select the proper plants/ground coverings taking into account our own aesthetic tastes, budget and what would be best suited given our daylight/shade situation. Ty and his team, on our project renovation days were fantastic and executed the blueprint to perfection. We are beyond floored with our beautiful new front yard. Matt and Ty and the rest of the team were a pleasure to work with. With all that being said, we highly recommend Take Roots Gardens! You won’t be disappointed!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Take Root Gardens. I had only the minimal requirement that there be a little bit of a lawn, privacy from the public trail, be low maintenance, and any plants be safe for dogs. With that, Matt presented his vision for the space with detailed plans and explained each aspect of the design. Everything in the design was there for a reason. Take Root transformed my backyard and patio into a beautiful space that I could not have imagined. Matt, Ty and crew were very professional, friendly, organized, detailed-oriented, and easy to talk to. During the installation, the project site was tidy (this was a pleasant surprise), answered questions, and kept me aware of any unexpected changes due to availability of supplies. They completed the project on time and on budget. I would not hesitate to call on them again for future projects. I highly recommend the very talented and creative team at Take Root Gardens.

Lucky for us, we stumble onto Take Root, through another company who recommended them to us. We are delighted with the outcome, Matt, Ty and team are professional in every way. The process from start to finish was excellent, both on time and on budget. Taking us through an early walk through, design concept drawings, detail of what kind of plants. The design is exactly what was planned, we love it. The end result is perfect, for a small space, we now have a lovely cozy patio, with a beautiful garden to look at. Thanks so much.
