Higher Ground Landscaping Ltd.

I have worked with Higher Grounds on several projects for my construction company as well as my personal home. They were professional and delivered as per the expectations. I will be working more with them in the future!

Mike and his team were fantastic, they were here when promised, did what they committed to do, and beyond. The guys working on our yard were polite, professional, and only too happy to answer questions, do extras and make sure we were happy. Mike couldn't have been more accommodating in our back yard renovation. Place looks great and we can enjoy our backyard finally!

We've worked with Mike for over three years now, on major and small projects. Hopefully that, in and of itself, is a strong endorsement.Mike and crew are well beyond capable, dependable and hard-working.They really know their stuff from plant selection and overall design through to harmony with existing and natural vegetation and landscape while optimizing cost, planning and execution.Yes, I highly recommend them.

Great appreciation to Mike Vandergugten and his team at Higher Ground Landscaping and Design. They did an amazing job sprucing up my garden to get my townhouse ready to be listed for sale. Mike provided the service in a very timely manner. He listened to my concerns and requests. He made further suggestions that were very appropriate. His gardeners were very thorough and hard working. Friendly and polite team. I look forward to working on a future garden design with Mike.

Excellent service! Would highly recommend Mike and his crew. A pleasure to deal with!

Working with Mike and his team was seamless from quoting to completion. Keeping our budget in mind they delivered on every level. We especially enjoyed how considerate and clean they were while onsite and will definitely have them back to expand our backyard oasis soon.

What a great experience!From our initial meeting/planning through to completion, Mike and his team are top notch professionals. He and his crew, Tim and Anthony know their stuff. They delivered on time and on budget. You can depend on these hard-working guys to complete your project and get it right the first time.We highly recommend them.Ron and Debi

The work was done by a very professional team. Several of my neighbours commented on how considerate and polite they were not just to the neighbours but also to each other. They redid my patio which included a brick wall, brick ground cover, privacy fencing and all of the preleveling work that needed to be done before all the brick was laid. The final product is amazing!

This company removed material from our backyard as it was largely clay and was not able to drain properly. Mike was prompt in examining the problem and had a resolution quickly. Stephan and another employee completed the job quickly despite rain and wet and muddy ground.Prior to this work our yard was a muddy mess. Since it’s completion the drainage is excellent. There is no longer standing water even after a torrential downpour and the mud is gone. We’ve got our yard back. Stephan clearly knows what he is kdoing. He was very accommodating and professional. Thank you so very much!

Higher Ground did two projects for us, both were excellent. In 2020 we had our small backyard re-landscaped and were so impressed with the results, we had Mike and his crew replace our driveway and build us a front patio last year.Their attention to detail was fantastic. There were some issues with what the builder left under our 39-yr old driveway, but this was dealt with professionally. There was the expected unevenness from house settling and an annoying tree whose roots encroached on the work area. The project lead, Stephane, was more concerned than my wife and I about the tree, which was appreciated. He was careful and it is still doing well.As for our patio, there was a slight miscommunication about the area required that we resolved easily due to their excellent communications (in our experience with contractors, this is a welcome anomaly). The work Stephane and his crew did was excellent with the stone cuts precise and attractively done.These people take real pride in their work and it shows. Small repairs were done of their own volition, which was a pleasant surprise.Invoicing was problem-free and, despite being busy and all the supply challenges associated with the pandemic, Higher Ground did their best to accommodate our schedule. We need to have our work done in the summer and they delivered.Our experience with Higher Ground was excellent on both occasions. Their prices were reasonable and workmanship excellent.
