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

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.
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.
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.
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.

About
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 36 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 36 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. .
