Urban Cottage Landscapes

We have worked with Martin and Judy over the past year while redesigning and landscaping our backyard, side walkway and driveway. We have been so impressed with the ideas and creativity that went into all of it. We ended up with design elements that we could not have envisioned without their expertise. We now have our cottage backyard oasis in the middle of the city! Thank you Martin and Judy!

Judy and Martin are lovely people who collectively created a beautiful and peaceful waterfall and pond that I had always envisioned. I cannot believe how natural looking it is - like it was already part of our backyard and had been there for decades! I am so happy with Martin's work. What a kind and hard-working man he is. Everything he did was done without machinery. All physical labour! I will always be grateful to Judy and Martin for the gift of my tranquility waterfall. I am so pleased with it. Zanna

My wife and I used Martin and Judy to recreate our front and rear yards in 2018 and we were very impressed with how well they both turned out! Honestly, we really didn't know "what" we wanted but knew we wanted something unique. Martin was able to help us come up with a playful and creative design that worked really well for us that we never would have thought of on our own. His knowledge about landscaping, shrubs, trees and design is vast and really helpful when planning a design. We always received friendly service and prompt responses to questions we had or changes we wanted to see made. It was a significant investment in our property which will certainly pay off when we are ready to sell, but also has added so much "living value" to the place we call home. We'd had other landscapers come up with designs in the past but they all seemed cookie-cutter and rigid, something we'd seen way too many times before. Martin's approach to design is very unique and intuitive, visually pleasing, while at the same time remaining practical. He never tried to oversell us on anything and we actually came in well under budget on our spend which allowed us to add a beautiful and functional patio in the rear we hadn't previously planned. The pocket landscapes we were given add so much life to our yards and have given us something to nurture and watch unfold as they develop. Passersby are constantly letting us know how beautiful our front yard looks now. I thoroughly recommend Urban Cottage Landscapes - Five stars all around! Thanks, Kyle

Working with Martin was a special experience, he is a deep listener and his style is to create a landscape that you will personally connect too.
I initially consulted with Martin to get his advice on what trees to plant in my front yard. He came up with an intuitive "design"/idea that far exceeded my expectations. Martin shaped our garden to be a space that felt much more like home!
I highly recommend working with Martin and Judy to help you to transform your outdoor space to something that you will truly love, because it will be a unique creation to suit you!

We were pleasantly surprised with the interest in our small property and the knowledge Martin provided. Guiding us to make decisions of layout and planting choices ended by making our front yard look and feel like "Hello Gorgeous, welcome to our home". Thank you Martin!
