Recent Client Reviews
Rob and Caroll McIntosh – Thornhill, Ontario
Project Investment: $15,000 – $75,000
Project Type: Driveway & Walkway Landscape Transformation
We had the pleasure of having Horvath Design Build Landscapes transform our home, turning a driveway and walkway replacement into something that feels like we are living in a resort.
Matthew has an excellent spirit, which we noticed right from the start and throughout the entire project. We had done some contractor shopping and when they came to look at our home, they took the time to offer a number of ideas and options. It was clear they cared about us and our home — not just getting the job.
They provide professional design services and take the time to step back and have a bigger vision while still offering flexibility for what works for the client. They are great listeners, patient thinkers, and creative in the decision process, with a vast amount of experience both in design and in what is durable and cost effective.
The cost for the beautiful landscaping that the Horvath team creates is competitive with contractors that don’t offer the same high level of quality and design. I highly recommend Horvath Design Build Landscapes.
Lev K - North York, Ontario
Project Investment: $15,000 – $75,000
Project Type: Backyard Patio, Fire Pit & Landscape Installation
They completed our entire backyard project including architectural planning. The project included installing a patio, fire pit, replacing a fence, and adding plantings.
What a great experience. Excellent work, amazing customer service, always on time, and everything was delivered exactly as promised.
I highly recommend this company for all your landscaping needs. They exceeded my expectations and worked with us to get the project within our budget. I will definitely be contacting them again when I'm ready to redo the front yard.
Ted Girard — Richmond Hill, Ontario
Project Investment: $15,000 – $75,000
Project Type: Landscape Construction
Horvath Design and Build was working in our neighbourhood and asked the right questions to provide a quote. Matthew came over and met my wife and I personally and showed us exactly what he planned on doing. He also used technology to help us understand some of the finer details.
Matthew's company was thorough and quick. There were no surprises and we got exactly what we were looking for.
We were informed every step of the way and the job foreman Dave was excellent at asking the right questions each morning. The job site was clean at the end of each day. We are extremely happy with the outcome.
Andy Gysbers — Richmond Hill, Ontario
Project Investment: $75,000 – $150,000
Project Type: Backyard Landscape & Front Entrance Renovation
Matthew and his crew completed a major landscaping renovation of our backyard including a stone patio, lighting, pool surround, plantings, fencing, and stone steps.
We were so pleased with the design, professionalism of the installation, and the final outcome that we brought them back the following year to completely redo our front entrance and front yard landscaping.
Once again they delivered a wonderful design and completed the work on time and within the estimate. We would have no problem recommending them for this type of work.
Julian Jacobs — Sharon, Ontario
Project Investment: More than $150,000
Project Type: Luxury Backyard Living Space
The final product was better than what I had imagined. I am so happy with our backyard living space.
Matthew and his crew were always thinking one step ahead and keeping us informed of any issues they saw that might deviate from the original plans. They were very accommodating with on-the-go changes that I asked for when we had a change of heart from what was originally planned.
Thank you Matthew for keeping the project on budget and always being available to discuss progress and changes throughout the project.
Jorge Mulett — Newmarket, Ontario
Project Investment: $15,000 – $75,000
Project Type: Landscape Design & Installation
Working with Matt was great. He is professional and clearly explains why and how his recommendations will satisfy your ideas.
The design process was excellent because it allowed us to introduce our ideas while Matt remained open to listening throughout the process. His communication was timely and we never felt any concerns during the project.
We are more than satisfied with the results and would encourage anyone to work with Matt.
Craig A — Richmond Hill, Ontario
Project Investment: $15,000 – $75,000
Project Type: Landscape Design & Property Transformation
We had an excellent experience with Matthew and the finished product is tremendous. We continually receive compliments about how great the landscaping looks.
We especially appreciated the process of working through and finalizing a design first, which from our previous renovation experiences is a critical foundation to a successful project.
The quote was very detailed and allowed us to adjust different components and understand how it impacted the final price. The overall pricing was competitive and we were able to remain within budget while still working through all the little things that arise during any major project.
Throughout the project it was always easy to communicate with Matthew by phone, text, or email. We have already referred Horvath Landscapes to friends and neighbours.
The curb appeal and functionality of our property has been completely transformed.
Client Reference Letters
Terence M. Donnelly – Toronto, Ontario
Nearing the completion of a year-and-a-half renovation on our home brought us into contact with many contractors representing the various trades required to build a custom home.
Not all of those experiences were positive. In fact, some were terrible.
You and your firm, however, truly stood out.
Not only were you and your landscape team professional, reliable, and well mannered in your dealings with us, you were the only company in the entire project that actually under-promised and over-delivered.
The little finishing touches that surprised us — those small design elements and personal add-ons — were details we didn’t expect but were delighted to see included in the final result.
We love your work and wish you and your firm the very best in the future.
Doug Humfries – North York, Toronto
I wanted to thank you for your excellent work on our interlocking driveway and front courtyard area at our home in Toronto.
This experience was filled with delight and no surprises.
Three things really stood out to us:
Quality of Work
Your experience, knowledgeable workmanship, and pride in your work were outstanding.
Professional Team
Both you and your onsite crew were a pleasure to work with. You listened to our thoughts and questions, interpreted them well, and gave us sound advice that was easy to understand.
Accurate Quotes and Billing
You were very accurate and consistent in your quoting and billing process. There were no surprises.
Please feel free to use this letter as a reference.
