Western Elements Landscaping

Our yard has a significant hill, going down a full storey from the house to the alley. We hired a demolition company to rip out the entirety of it with heavy equipment and I surveyed it and made a design for new retaining walls, a patio/firepit area, tiered gardens and stairs to replace all the old crumbling stuff from the previous owner. My husband and I did the deeper foundation work, and then Daryl came in two years in a row, the first year doing all the pavers down the side yard out to the back alley to provide us with a sloped access path from the front to the back of our property, and the second year returning to put in the upper more precise part of the foundation, run drainage behind the walls and electrical lines we provided below the surface, and built all the stairs, tiered retaining walls, and patio area from the bottom to the top of our yard. The end result is very tidy, precisely laid out to my technical drawings and hits the right elevation change from the man door to the garage to the top deck with even stair risers. At the same time Daryl made great use of the wall stone’s varying depths for something that looks fantastic on an artistic level. We particularly appreciated that his crew also levelled out all grading for us to lay sod, and did a very nice job cleaning up the alley with landscape fabric and gravel to keep the weeds at bay. (The fence post auger guys unfortunately were not as considerate.) We’ve had many compliments on our yard and on Daryl’s work in particular from neighbours and passers by. I would definitely recommend Daryl and his company for future work.

We used Western Elements Landscaping for the landscaping at our new house in Cranston a few years ago. We have a fairly large yard backing onto the ridge. They did all the work in both the front and backyards. There was lots of hardscaping, including a two tiered deck, privacy screen, patio, fire pit area and a pond, as well as large rocks, plants and trees.

We were (and still are) extremely pleased with Daryl’s work. He made our vision come to life and the garden was exactly as we had pictured in our mind once he was finished.

Daryl and his team were always punctual and he was always there when he said he would be (which is rare these days). He completed the work in the time frame he gave us and we always knew what was happening and what the next step would be and when that would be completed. 

We have had Daryl do several other things in our yard over the last few years and we have him back every spring to clean up the yard.

We would highly recommend Daryl to anyone looking for a great landscaping company who are efficient, on time and very well priced in our opinion.

We hired Daryl (Western Elements Landscaping) based on the fact our son and his neighbours retained him for their landscaping. We saw first hand the high quality of his work. Our close friends and my neighbour also hired Daryl and we couldn’t be more pleased.

From our first meeting with Daryl, we knew we made the right decision. His estimate was very detailed and he accommodated any changes we requested. He also provided his suggestions, which we accepted too. He has a keen eye for what will work in your backyard. Not to mention when we asked specific questions regarding different types of rock, plants, grass etc., his email responses were very detailed with pictures and hyperlinks to the various products.

When he began work on our yards, his crew was also professional and polite. Most importantly, at the end of each work day, his crew cleaned the area even sweeping our driveways, sidewalk and road. And when he finished landscaping our backyard Daryl “washed down” our yard and removed all debris/garbage. We didn’t have to do anything.

From start to finish, our experience with Daryl was excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend him to do your landscaping.
