Walkway and tuckpointing

I don't write many reviews, but I wanted to post one for Hofstetter Landscaping. Rick and team did a fantastic job breaking up the concrete replacing the walkway at the side of my house with interlocking brick. I was concerned about the cracked concrete and wanted to have the job done before winter set in. They also did some tuck pointing at the front and back of my house. I couldn't find many companies that would be willing to do both and I was happy when Rick and Ashleigh said they could. The jobs were done completely in 2 days and they cleaned up too. very happy with the work. Thank you

Welcome Back Rick, the artist of patios!

It was a pleasure welcoming Rick and his team back to our home for an upgrade to our back patio.
It's been 10 years exactly and their professionalism is still impressive.
The work is thorough, digging deep underground to make sure the foundation is sound before putting on the gravel.
I had many river rocks which were buried under inches of decomposed wood chips. They found them and removed all of them by hand.
The team kept things tidy and cleaned up impressively.
I especially admire Rick's eye for detail and refined finishing touches to the garden boarders.

Hi Anna
We are so happy with the transformation, you are now able to utilize your patio spring, summer and fall for entertaining and relaxing.
I'm happy we were able to choose the colour, style and texture of the stone, it was a combined effort, with the best outcome!
Thank you for having us come back a second time, and allow Rick to be creative again!
Thanks for including the photos!
Enjoy!!!
Best Regards
Rick and Ashleigh

Replacement of Existing Home Access

In 2014, we contracted with Hofstetter Landscaping to change the front and rear accesses to our home to make it more accessible for us as we age. My partner had been having difficulty with the accesses as a result of a neuropathy and subsequent double knee replacement. Her difficulties required wider platforms and lower rises for the steps at these accesses. Hofstetter worked with us adjusting the plan to suit her needs. The finished project in landscaped paving stones improved access to and enjoyment of our front and rear yards. At our request Hofstetter returned in 2023 to make repairs to some frost induced movement of the rear patio.

Backyard landscaping

Our backyard used to have a pool that was filled in 2018 - so half the backyard was interlock while the other was gravel. We contracted Rick and his team to help us with landscaping including: grading the backyard according to city standards, filling in soil for clover grass, and building us a massive garden bed. They also re-did two outside stair sets. All of their work was fantastic and we couldn't be happier with it.

Backyard fencing

Rick and his crew were absolutely tremendous in every way possible. Our backyard project certainly wasn't straightforward, and required a lot of care, especially to preserve some existing trees right on our fence line. Their attention, craftsmanship, pleasant demeanor and speed really stood out. I would wholeheartedly recommend Rick and his team.

Driveway with a retaining wall and front porch

We have hired Hofstetter Landscaping 3 times. First in 1992, second time in 2017 where they installed new driveway pavers (100 ft driveway) and rebuild the front porch and stairs and in 2023 they installed a drain in front of the garage, power washed, re-sanded and resealed the driveway.
Staff are personable and friendly. Work was completed on time, quality of work is excellent. Respected neighbors property, kept you up to date with work in progress. Rick and Ashleigh is a pleasure to deal with.

Thank you both so very much for providing explicit dates and details of all the work we have done for you over the years.
You know it's a long term client when I recognize the cell # without looking at the name!
We always have a catch up conversation, and it has been a pleasure working with you both!
Looking forward to assisting you in the future.

repair of driveway

We have a very long and sloped driveway connected to our neighbours. Rick lifted and relaid the driveway with the existing brick and a new soldier coarse with polymeric sand. The job was done on schedule and we are pleased with the result. They were very considerate to not disturb the neighbour with young children. Clean up was always excellent.

Thank you so much Reet. We appreciate your review. Raising your driveway up to match the neighbour's driveway made a huge difference in the look and will certainly make it much safer. Thank you for once again placing your faith in our team to provide your landscaping work. We truly appreciate your continued support, and look forward to working with you in the future!
Have a wonderful summer!

Stonework repair

Rick and his team were everything you want in a contractor. They were clean, they were on time, they communicated always and we never were in the dark about what was happening next. Great stone work that repaired a concrete disaster by another company.

Landscaping Contractors & Designers, Interlocking Stone.

OWNERSHIP AND CREDENTIALS
Hofstetter Landscaping is owned and operated by Rick and Ashleigh Hofstetter. Our “baby” was born in 1989 and is now 23 years old. (In case you’re wondering how old we are...suffices to say we are evergreens. :-) Did we tell you we are a landscaping company?)
From the beginning, we have always endeavoured to do the best quality work possible for our clients. We specialize in landscaping and that’s one of the reasons our “baby” has no siblings—no sister companies, no associates, no partners, no branches. Landscaping is what we do and we do it really well.

A TORONTO LANDSCAPING COMPANY WITH A DIFFERENCE
Ever since we started, and even more so now, we find the market exploding with Toronto landscaping companies that make a big noise about “cheap, cheap”. Now, if they were selling birds, it would be okay, but they are not, right? And yet, we often lose a job to a cheap company that “specializes” in being a “Jack-of-all-trades”. Do we want to compete with them? No. But does that mean we are frightfully expensive? Not at all! In fact, our goal is always to ensure that our customers get the best value for money and a landscape that makes them the envy of the neighbourhood without breaking the bank.

As we come across customers who do their due diligence by comparing quotes, we are very mindful and respectful of the fact that one needs to be price conscious. It’s when we are told about a competitive quote that implies “the other guy” can get the job done for less than it costs us to buy quality materials, the alarm bells go off. He needs a hefty deposit from you to pay his guys for the last job done, and of course, there is always that famous curbside taillight guarantee!

We would like to go on and tell you what we have learned and found out in these past 23 years but you wouldn't be able to read it all...

WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE TO ENGAGE OUR LANDSCAPING SERVICES IN TORONTO

All we want to say is this—we do top quality work with a guarantee you can count on, every single time. If it’s not to your liking we'll do what it takes to make it right. We'll be there in years to come, particularly if the weather has given the work a beating.

• We are fully covered with 5 million liability insurance and WSIB approved.
• Our crew is safety certified or they don't work for us.
• Our business has City of Toronto licensing.
• Each team member has government ID.
• We pay our taxes and are an ethical, honest, law-abiding enterprise.

Yes, you will find cheaper Toronto landscaping companies out there. Will you find one better than us in terms of reputation for quality work and customer references? Not likely.
