D.A. Gracey & Associates Landscaping Designers<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nD.A Gracey & Associates, based out of Toronto<\/a> and Vaughan in Ontario<\/a>, are one of the landscaping designers we recommend checking out. This year alone, the company won the 2017 Landscape Ontario Award of Excellence for four residential landscapes \u2014 an award they have won every year since 2009. The website’s before and after photos<\/a> will provide you with some insight into their style, which includes their love of tackling small spaces. D.A Gracey & Associates revel in the challenges a little backyard presents. Take a look at one of their award-winning landscape designs, the Raby residence<\/a>, which they refer to as \u201canother tiny downtown gem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf low-maintenance is your goal, this landscape design company is happy to accommodate you there as well. From artificial turf to low-maintenance shrubs, they transformed the Sweeny Residence in Leaside<\/a> into what they call a \u201cprivate spa retreat.\u201d As well as smaller spaces, luxury homeowners may be interested in viewing the work they did in the Rosedale area<\/a>.

Joe Bidermann Landscaping<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"landscape](\"https:\/\/www.zolo.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/landscape-designers-joe-bidermann.jpg\")
Joe Bidermann Landscaping<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nNo, not all of Canada\u2019s best landscapers cater to those who live in Ontario. Joe Bidermann Landscaping in Nova Scotia took home the 2016 DynaSCAPE Award for Excellence in Landscape Design. Joe Bidermann is an accredited, nationally-certified and award-winning landscape designer<\/a>. Much like a real estate agent and his or her client, the Joe Bidermann team believes that collaboration between the client and the landscape designer results in a team effort. They feel that the transparent relationship is necessary to create exactly what the client envisions. Stated on their website, “our award-winning designs recognize all aspects of a client\u2019s life and reflect their needs and interests perfectly.”<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Joe Bidermann Landscaping team goes to great lengths to describe their process and how they differ from other landscape professionals. This is valuable information for consumers, and we appreciate their efforts. Firstly, consultations provided by the company are done on-site, allowing clients to present their ideas. From their, the Bidermann team establishes the scope of the project and offers suggestions to the homeowner. \u201cAt the end of this phase, Joe will provide you with a detailed, itemized quote for developing your concept,\u201d as stated on the website. Next is concept design, in which the team performs a site survey to determine the materials needed and in what quantity. Among the materials, they also look into site elevations, existing plants and more. Joe plugs this information into a Computer Assisted Design (CAD) drawing to come up with the base plan. The project is now ready to get underway. The Bidermann team suggests a maintenance strategy to keep your yard looking as amazing as it did on the day it was installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Peter Hughes Landscape<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"landscape](\"https:\/\/www.zolo.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/landscape-designer-Peter-Hughes.jpg\")
Peter Hughes Landscape<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nAnother multiple-award winning company, Peter Hughes Landscape serves the Alberta area<\/a>. The good news is that all of the awards listed on the company\u2019s website were for residential landscaping, which shows their strengths in this type of design. You\u2019ll love Peter Hughes\u2019 backstory \u2014 the quintessential small-town-guy-works-his-bum-off-to- make-it-in-the-world kind of story. It was 1973 and Hughes used a borrowed trailer, connected to his old Chevy and filled with borrowed tools and equipment to perform summer yard maintenance for neighbours, friends and family members.<\/p>\n\n\n\nToday, Peter Hughes Landscape maintains the family-oriented approach to the landscape business but the Chevy and borrowed equipment are gone, and the awards keep rolling in. Collaboration with clients on every project is a priority for Peter Hughes Landscape. \u201cCollaborating with our clients every step of the way to realize their vision \u2014 on every project, large or small \u2014 is our motivating factor and allows us to love what we do,\u201d as written on the website. It\u2019s easy to see why their Upper Elbow Park project garnered the 2008 Award of Excellence Residential Maintenance from Landscape Alberta. The sumptuous curves and the seamless blending of soft and hardscape certainly caught our eyes. If creating an outdoor living space is your goal, do view the company\u2019s Lake Bonavista project<\/a>, with a to-die-for outdoor entertaining area and gorgeous water feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you\u2019re among the many Canadians who plan on renovating their landscapes this year or next, one of these three best residential landscape designers in Canada may be just what you need to get the job done right \u2014 and on budget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
