Testimonials

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Terry to design our BBQ patio area which included a raised planter box, seating, paving, drainage and fencing. He was willing to discuss our ideas and, combined with his cost-effective suggestions, use his expertise to make it all work in the space available. We would be happy for Terry to do further work for us”.

I called Terry from Distinctive Landscaping and asked him to come around and give me a quote for completing our landscaping at our house in Whitby. Terry promptly returned my call, turned up when he said he would and provided me a quote within a couple of days. Terry gave me options of what would work and then provided me with a plan and timeline of when the work would be completed. In some cases, Terry’s options turned out more cost effective than what I had in mind. The quality of the work was second to none. Nothing was too much trouble for Terry and his team. We would ask them to do a bit extra and this was all done willingly and with a smile. I can’t thank Terry and his team enough for the outstanding work that he has done. We are delighted with the result.

As part of Distinctive Home and Landscapes, we’ve used Terry’s expertise both inside and outside our home. He did a fantastic job building a large deck over our concrete swimming pool, which including some creative alignment with the old surround deck. Despite the odd shape of the deck and the challenges it presented, Terry did a great finish to the edge of the deck and incorporated an attractive and practical drop down step onto the grass. Along the way, he gave us some great planting tips too, we just need to apply them.
