Reviews of Landscape Effects (Architect)

Sean Moor

Often out of stock, some issues with quotes and orders and delivery. But they do have a nice showroom.

Very nice display of materials at the shop. Staff was very helpful with the initial kickoff meet and provided some great ideas. Neighbours used them and the results were amazing.

We did sub-contracting for Landscape Effects for approximately five years, and I will tell you how they work, so you do not fall into the quicksand. Landscape Effects is not awarded the contracts directly from the source (property Owner) in most cases. I’ll give you an example. TD Bank awards a contract to BGIS for all maintenance from mechanical to landscaping throughout Canada. Then they tender the landscape maintenance out. Landscape FX wins the tender. Then they subcontract the work again to a local “mom and pop” landscaping company for very little. The Mom and Pop Companies are required to download apps, purchase third-party documentation programs and follow strict rules. You also have to pay out of pocket for a Criminal Records Check yearly. Landscape FX might make money off the third-party apps that these small companies are required to purchase because it helps Landscape Effects do their reporting job. The money they pay these “mom and pop” landscaping companies is insufficient to pay the cost of work or overhead. Then Mom and Pop companies hope to get “extras” such as mulch or redesign each year to cover expenses; if not, they reach into their own pockets. If contracted for winter work, the monthly fee you receive rarely covers the cost of salt. The only good thing is the staff can be friendly. Also getting staff and family to give you 5 star reviews on here is unprofessional in my opinion.

did not want to put a bad review on this company because I believe everybody has there own issues and the business world can be an interesting advocate for bad decisions. This company has done that. This is a response from josh sigursson. The head manager at the kelowna office. I'm not sure what you mean. We are not paying the 4th invoice per our discussion. I paid the first 3 in full. As is I'm short over $2200 that the school district refused to pay. I'm out of town until tomorrow night, back at the office Monday around 10. Can talk further then, but I was clear about what I was and was not paying. Apparently because they made a ton of mistakes in there signed and agreed contract they are not willing to pay the $7000.00 still owing. And made the last 3 invoices sound like it wasnt something we were owed which makes no sense. I know covid has hit a lot of companies in the past few months. I was more than willing to sign this 7k out the window to continue our relationship and fix what they told everyone in there circle was my companies fault. I I said if they couldn't work out an arrangement to make my offer work for everyone. I would want my money in full. It has been 2 weeks and I havent got a reply from any message I have sent. For this reason I will be taking this company to small claims court as I have filed a law suit against there stupidly. So Sad especially when I was more than willing to take a hit and help there situation so that all parties were happy but clearly that's not the case.

Amazing!! There was no question we wanted them to do our backyard! We felt they were the only ones who 'got' our style. From design, to build to completion, they were amazing to work with and they nailed it! We absolutely love our back yard thanks to LFX! This team knows their stuff!

Landscape effects is the biggest RIP off. They get you as a client then you never hear or see them again.

J. Tamari

I share the same views as the others they never get back to you and when they do they go around in circles giving an answer horrible company

Adam Jones

Being in the industry and dealing with cost/pricing there's no way you're not getting ripped off here. Often you can find the same product of same quality in the region for much less. The soil needs a lot of work. Poor quality. Poor pricing. "Meh" all together. Also, I know for a fact they do not have one architect in their staff as they had told me so multiple times when requested to render buildings and structures. False advertising. Watch out for these guys.

Ryan Grant

If I could give them 0 stars I would. Landscapes effects group is very unprofessional and they try to take advantage of everyone. DONT USE THIS COMPANY

Syles Mechanical

I’ve use landscape effects for the last 20 years. Great company Great employees.

Elijah Zurich

Yikes is all I can say. You guys should brush up on your people skills. To your consumers and your employees. Do not go here - there are smaller out fits that will charge you a much fairer price and get the same quality, if not better. The crews have a high turn around rate - I have inside knowledge that proves so by multiple accounts. Those are human beings you people are - not so secretly - mistreating. People are getting very aware of the situation at this establishment.

Josh Bergsteinsson

Amazing place to work, amazing culture.

AGB Construction

Have been working with the team this year on maintenance and payment is prompt. Something that cannot be said about a lot of other clients. Would recommend.
