Kent Ford Design Group

Kent & his team were a joy to meet & work with. They completely built our landscape, made it livable and entertainment worthy.

We don't know what we would have done without the KFDG team.

Kent was amazing to work with and has great ideas. Our front garden and driveway look
Amazing. The flowers In our garden are so pretty and there is always something beautiful to see.

After much time spent researching the right landscape architect for our project, we knew wholeheartedly that Kent Ford was the right person to turn our dream garden into reality. We had a feeling in mind for our front porch, tutor style home but needed much help to bring our ideas together. Kent Ford Design Group has created an elegant and timeless garden, one that blends in with our neighborhood of historic homes, and one that comes most admired by it’s residents. What we loved the most was Kent’s attention to detail, his meticulous approach to selecting just the right plant, hedge or tree and his frequent presence on-site as to ensure that his vision comes to life exactly as he planned. Kent’s professional abilities, together with his friendly, funny and approachable personal style, have made this project one to be fondly remembered!

Kent and his team are professional , pleasant and a joy to work with . They listened to all our needs and incorporated them into a plan that exceeded our design expectations. They were also very knowledgeable in gaining our approvals with the City of Toronto , for deck and ravine permits.
We would highly recommend the Ford Team for anyone seeking a residential renovation or new build landscape, on time and on budget

I own a small semi-detached property in midtown Toronto. I first selected Kent Ford Design Group over 10 years ago to totally “renovate” my front and rear yards. I’m still coming back from time to time, whether it’s to add more hardscape (I like to see various kinds of stonework) or to put in more trees, shrubs or perennials (I keep trying to increase the variety or have more of what has been working very well). I’m attracted to Kent Ford’s excellent level of knowledge, creativity and professionalism. His landscape designs have fit my needs and budget very well; I enjoy the results every day.

The team at Kent Ford Design Group provided exceptional service in designing and managing my family's two acre cottage property. We thank them for their creativity and practicality in overcoming challenging site features. We highly recommend Kent and his team.

We gave Kent a picture to copy which he disregarded and came up with his own design. When we pointed this out to him, he re-drew it but began charging us for "revisions" beyond the original budget. His work was archaic , unimaginative and lacking conviction . The final design we received (we later found out from his own arborist) would never have passed city zoning. He was of course happy to provide additional "revisions" and charge us some more. This was the final straw . We fired him as we had lost all confidence in his abiltity to manage our project. To top it off, he withheld our deposit citing more "additional" costs.

We hired Kent Ford of Kent Ford Design Group Inc. to come up with a conceptual and working drawing plan for our property and we couldn't be more thrilled. His in depth attention to detail and easy manner made the design process a joy !
We were also impressed by his technical skills in sorting out grading problems and structural advise for garden structures.
I dont know who wrote the other review here but they must have the wrong Kent Ford !
We would recommend him highly !

I would not recommend Kent Ford. We paid for $4000 for a landscape plan had was very poor. There were many mistakes in the plan. He did not include the slope of the land. We had to build a retaining wall which was an extra 16k. The pergola he designed did not have enough support. The screens that he designed when very expensive and he did not listen to our need. He was difficult to deal with.
