Tazscapes

We had the opportunity to work with Tazscapes for our landscaping project in Calgary, and the experience was amazing!

We met with Taz, who walked us through our options and then did a quick concept sketch to show us what he meant. During the design process, we discussed many things we could add to enhance our yard while still trying to keep it to a manageable budget.

Taz took the time to revise the design a few times until we got exactly what we wanted!

After the design process, we went over the quote and adjusted things as needed but overall was an easy, transparent and organized process to follow.

Once construction started, Lewis took control of the whole project right from the beginning making sure all the grading work was done correctly - they had other sub-trades like Cole for the pergola and Grant for the water feature work together to bring our oasis into life.

Taz was super easy to get a hold of and addressed any questions we had, and the guys on site worked hard to ensure everything was done correctly and to our liking.

The final product was better than we envisioned it! A firepit area with a grand pergola to mark that spot while allowing us to visually enjoy our surroundings, having the water feature come crashing down was a beautiful addition.

Overall I can't say enough good things about Taz and his guys - Fantastic workmanship, Spectacular service and Organized processes in place from start to finish.

We highly recommend Tazscapes for all your landscaping needs!!

To say our experience with these guys was anything less than 5 star would be the understatement of the year. When we purchased our new home a big hurdle was the state of the yard. we honestly thought the entire house was a knockdown due to the state of the yard. it is a large corner lot that can be seen by all sides and it was beyond awful. From start to finish Taz and his team designed to our exact needs and desires and worked tirelessly (13 hours a day) to get it done! Every person who walks by is in shock at the transformation! I would recommend this team every day of the week!

Great experience with Tazscapes. The team was very professional and friendly, and they did a great job from design to completion. We had a few small issues with a couple of the shrubs because the landscaping was done during one of our hottest summers and they didn't do so well the following season. But Taz came back and replaced them. It was seamless. Now we love spending time in our yard!

Our experience with Tazscapes was wonderful. We searched online for a landscape designer who matched our aesthetic and found that on Taz's website. After reaching out to him (which was always easy to do), we met for an initial meeting where we discussed ideas we had and he had a chance to see our backyard. This was his opportunity to understand our desires as clients, the space he had to work with, and a general idea of our budget. He showed us photographs of other projects and even took us to a former project that was similar in size and scope. Initially, we asked him to come up with a design and paid him for that. We were very happy with that and so decided to go ahead and hire him to bring that design to life. The entire project went very well and Taz was always available to us to help make decisions and solve problems. The entire crew were excellent to deal with and in their craftsmanship. From start to finish, we were well taken care of and very happy with the final results. I will definitely work with Taz again for future projects and highly recommend Tazscapes to anyone looking for top-notch work.

My wife and I built our home in the community of Symon’s Gate, in Calgary’s Northwest in 2015, and moved into it in early 2016. Like most new builds, we did not have a lot of yard space to work with and it sat mostly undisturbed for six years while we bided our time, saved our money, and designed meticulously. We wanted something practical that optimized the space we have for entertaining, relaxation, and occasional outdoor exercise. All this with a unique aesthetic that represented our life together.

The pandemic and the need for more comfortable outdoor gathering space convinced us that 2021 was our year, but we were still not sold on the landscaping companies we’d received quotes from thus far. That’s when my smart and beautiful wife came across Tazscapes online. Reviews were consistently outstanding, and it was clear through promotional material that Tazscapes offered the level of artistry we were waiting for, so we gave Tazscapes a call.

Taz came to our home to get a sense of our property and our vision for it. He presented as competent, professional, and forthright, which gave us confidence in him. He listened to us thoroughly and I could tell he understood what we were after. He asked our budget and while it was within the realm of what he thought it might cost, he was straightforward with us about what we’d pay for what we’re asking. We handed him the Real Property Report and transferred the money necessary to begin the design.

About a week later the design was in. While fantastic right out of the gate, we worked with Taz to further personalize it to our wishes, going back and forth on details for a week. Once the design was complete and we were comfortable with the price, we gave him the green light to book us. To our surprise, Taz’s team started a week earlier than scheduled, though due to the pandemic and supply issues, our stone fireplace was backordered for late August.

Taz’s Site Foreman, Nick stopped by the day before breaking ground to meet us and check out the yard. While relatively young, Nick has the experience, temperament, and skills to lead his team well. Nick was responsive to all our requests, even when we asked him if we could purchase and plant two additional aspen trees in our front yard, creating another trip for him and probably disrupting his schedule. He seemed as committed to making our outdoor space amazing as Taz was, and he held our confidence throughout.

No project of this scope proceeds without some adjustments and additions, and we requested a few additional features, such as a wood border to retain the rundle rock on one side of our home, one additional step paver, one more outdoor light, the additional trees, and others. Neither Taz nor Nick balked at any of our requests. Taz is remarkably responsive to his clients and tends to reply within minutes, despite the number of clients he manages. The whole project went smoothly and by the time the early July heatwave was upon us, we were chillin’ on the patio.

We are IN LOVE with the final product. It turned out BETTER than we had hoped, and the process was painless. I’m still working from home with a good view of the yard from my home office. We have a walking path behind our yard, and I’ve had numerous passersby comment on its beauty, ask for Taz’s contact information, and exclaim, “awww, I want one!” Even when I’m inside my house I see heads turn and eyes lock on our yard as people walk by. There’s nothing like it in our neighbourhood.

Now, I’ll be both clear and honest. Taz’s services are not cheap. He’s the real deal, he’s in demand, and he has the luxury of being selective with his clients and projects. Therein exists an implied agreement. The client is reasonable, decisive, and pays what and when they’re supposed to. In exchange, Taz will design, coordinate, and deliver an outstanding final product with accountability, professionalism, and an artist’s touch. If you can abide by the implied agreement, then he’s likely the Landscape Pro for you. In sum, we highly recommend Tazscapes for your landscaping needs!
