Living Earth Landscapes specializes in all sorts of landscaping, from retaining walls to decks and sprinkler systems to outdoor kitchens. They are a 100% licensed, insured, and WCB-registered contractor to ensure everyone’s safety.

We like that they strictly stick to their time frame even when the client has additional requests and modifications. It is crucial, especially for clients that have tight schedules or urgent requests.

We also learned that they don’t need to require subcontractors since they have a skilled team to take on each job, which makes it easier for clients to save time and money.

Notably, they offer a no-obligation consultation and estimate, so you can ask them a general question or get an initial quotation to help you decide your next move.

We also love that they provide accurate estimates and can efficiently work with your budget to meet your goals. They even revise quotes to accommodate last-minute changes and make adjustments.

That said, clients can make a call or submit a request through their online form and expect a reply within the next 30 minutes — they have a fast response time.

However, we noticed they don’t offer direct financing options, considering retaining wall installations are relatively expensive.

Lastly, we appreciate their one-year service warranty for all of their work, so don’t hesitate to call if you notice anything wrong.

A Green Future offers professional design and landscaping construction, maintenance, snow removal, and pesticide and fertilizing. They also have a Retaining Wall Division to ensure you get the best service possible on all your retaining wall needs.  

We like that they are open seven days a week and even offer same-day services for retaining wall projects. We think this is beneficial for busy clients since you can book last-minute projects or have the time to monitor over the weekend.

Furthermore, thanks to their Retaining Wall Division, they can provide 24/7 emergency repair services. This flexible schedule is especially crucial for those who suspect the integrity of their retaining walls — better safe than sorry.

We are also satisfied with the consistency of their successful installations and builds after we noted numerous feedback from past clients regarding their still-standing and good-condition retaining walls despite bad weather conditions.

That said, we like that they prioritize 100% customer satisfaction. So, we suggest you raise any concerns to get them resolved at no cost.

Another thing we admire is their landscaping online cost calculator, where clients can see the computation of the retaining wall cost based on height and quantity. But for better accuracy, you can request a free estimate.

But, as a heads up: they don’t have explicit financing options to help with funding or payment plans for the project.

With over 45 years of experience, The Landscape Artist Inc offers residential landscape design and construction and custom design services.

Backed by known installers in the industry, they handle jobs from decks, patios, and retaining walls to finishing touches.

We appreciate that they have free landscaping videos online to show you ideas you can use for your project. We also think their testimonial videos give potential clients a more genuine and intimate insight into the actual performance of the job.

In addition, you can call them to ask some specific questions or book a free on-site consultation to discuss how they can work with your wants, site, and budget to fulfill your vision.

On the downside, we noted some communication issues regarding unanswered phone calls and emails due to being understaffed and their lack of booking management.

We also heard complaints of no-shows for initial quotations and the actual job without notice, which we think they should improve on to avoid conflict and inconvenience.

As for guarantees, we like that they have a two-year warranty for their services to give their clients peace of mind if anything goes wrong after completion.

Moreover, we are happy that they don’t require deposits to secure a construction slot and only start charging depending on the agreed-upon contract containing the payment terms.

Blue Aspen Contracting provides full-service professional landscape design and installation to fulfill landscaping requests. They are also skilled in creating retaining walls to complement and enhance the look and functionality of your landscape.

We are satisfied with their well-planned process, from your initial consultation to post-construction. Moreover, the team ensures you understand and know every step of the project to help avoid any issues or misunderstandings.

But, on the contrary, we also heard reports of poor communication, especially with the approval of bookings and consultations. That said, they also have overbooking issues leading to dropping clients to accommodate ongoing projects.

Although, we appreciate their no-obligation consultations and quotations for their landscaping process. Blue Aspen Contracting also provide initial estimates and designs for your retaining wall builds.

Unfortunately, we noticed they prioritize larger projects and accept those that meet their minimum size requirement. We think this is inconvenient since most clients only learn about this after waiting for a consultation and quotation.

In addition, they only operate on weekdays and can’t accommodate a larger volume of jobs.

On a better note, you can opt for their financing options to help you get the ball rolling for your retaining wall projects, especially for those with tight budgets.
