Reviews of Costa Verde (Gardener)

Troy Griffiths

The Costa Verde team did a great job on our yard. The main project was getting a really large hedge cut back which was no small feat and they accomplished it perfectly (and checked with us to make sure we were happy), as well they accomplishing several other efforts around the property. This did all this and ensured a great cleanup too. The entire team has been a pleasure to work with.

Kendra Acton

Very professional team all around. I was very happy with the gardening projects I had done. The crew did a great job cleaning up the areas after and even provided some tips to help me in the future.

Nancy Issenman

So far Costa Verde has been to my place twice, once for the estimate and the next day to start the Spring cleanup. I was immediately impressed with everyone's friendliness and the first 4 hours the crew spent in my garden made a huge and incredible dent (in a good way, of course). I'm very excited that they will be coming back to continue cleanup and then give me some peace of mind with their on-going maintenance. I also like that they do other kinds of garden construction. More to come!!

Becs Black

Costa Verde is an amazing company to work with. From the very beginning scheduling a quote, to our landscaping services, to the billing and administrative staff, I was only treated to top quality and respectful service. The quotes where reasonable and returned promptly. Monthly landscaping was punctual and detailed. Emails where answered quickly and fully. Very easy communication throughout. They are top of the list for future projects. Great Company!

Costa Verde meet all our needs on a very extensive full backyard rejuvenation. They started with a blank canvas and in the end created a very nice space that gets countless enjoyment all year around. We had a built in BBQ area created, Gazebo for hot tub, back deck and garden beds created all around the perimeter of the backyard. Many different types of application and trades were used, and we were happy with all the services, very professional. Thanks Dan

Mike Porter

Dan made it happen! Dan provided awesome design with great execution. I didn't know what exactly I wanted, but I was sure the space needed improvement. Dan came up with multiple options at different price points. Everything came together and at a reasonable price. I'm so happy with him that I have recommended him to my parents, and they are picky.

Adem Tepedelen

We hired Costa Verde to do two jobs for us, rebuilding (and staining) a large new set of stairs and also sanding and staining another set of stairs and a small deck. We're very happy with the work they did and everything looks great. We get compliments on the stairs practically daily. Everyone we dealt with at Costa Verde communicated well and was easy to deal with.

Mike McComb

Great staff, and amazing landscapes

Madeline Holmes

Very friendly and professional customer service!

Karri LaJeunesse

The service we received from Costa Verde was excellent from start to finish. Prompt replies and a hardworking team of landscapers made for a great experience. They turned our very sad front yard into a beautiful garden. We asked for a drought resistant garden and they recommended a lovely mix of flowers, trees and shrubs. I'm looking forward to watching it grow!

Terry Grey

Did a wonderful job on my gardens. A++ Now we wait for fall cleanup!

Stuart Green

very professional staff work complete in the time specified and great value would recommend to anyone

Stephanie Weinstein

I had Costa Verde come out to "trim" a 50 year old grapevine that had completely overtaken our garage. The crew was efficient, knowledgeable, and did the work with great care so as to save the plant. They managed their time well so were able to do other things in the garden that I didn't expect them to have time to do. There was so much plant matter from the weeding and pruning and I was impressed by how they left the site completely cleaned up. I would definitely use them again. Thanks!

David Ross

There are only great things to say about this company! This is the second home they've made look amazing for me. Quality in every area. Can't wait to continue to work with them on some of the other yard projects we have in mind!

Peter Golz

Awesome! Punctual, effective and all around great guys. After initial clean-ups, Costa Verde is now regularly looking after our garden. We highly recommend them!

Jim Wood

• Prompt to respond to telephone calls and emails • Work was complete and thorough • Very happy with the professionalism of the group and work performed • Would recommend Costa Verde

Corinna Gilliland

My garden looked like an ugly, overgrown bomb site until the Costa Verde crew came. In one day they civilised my garden, trees pruned, weeds demolished and the mess gone. I really appreciate their hard work and the skill they demonstrated. Thank you Costa Verde

Mike Oswald

Costa Verde did a small project for me that I felt uncomfortable doing myself. The crew was extremely courteous, and I immediately trusted them to do a good job. I am very satisfied with the work done. I would recommend them to anyone.

Carol A Williams

Costa Verde provided excellent gardening service. They were very organized, efficient, came in at the cost quoted and were available to discuss with me work being done.

Ann Patrick

I am really impressed with the quality and speed of service of Costa Verde. They have completed two projects for me now and both times I was extremely pleased with the results.

Fiona McQueen

I have been using Dan and his crew for regular garden maintenance for almost a year, and I couldn't be happier! His crew arrives on time, they are pleasant, friendly and work hard. Dan goes the extra mile by stopping by from time to time just to have a look around and make sure nothing needs extra attention. He is always available by phone or email for questions or information. This is a top notch gardening service and I highly recommend them!

Terry McManus

Called Costa Verde for a quote on a replacing a wooden deck with composite. Although we had some difficulties initially, I was contacted by Dan, the owner, by phone and email to resolve them. Although they were not able to undertake our work, I was impressed by the care, dedication and integrity of the owner and will consider them for any future work we might have within the scope of their offerings.

Jennifer Campbell

Costa Verde provides professional, friendly and fast service with great skill. We highly recommend them for your gardening needs!

Hamish Black

As the Program Manager of TeenWork of CanAssist at the University of Victoria, I am so thankful to get to say we collaborate with such an amazing company! Costa Verde provides amazing, professional grade service while being truly socially responsible and an actual equal opportunity employer. The staff are fun, friendly while doing top quality work! I have never heard a complaint while on site from customers or staff. I am always impressed by the quality of work that they provide. Our program helps youth with disabilities find meaningful part-time employment and Costa Verde has been hiring youth for over two years now. They get real experience, make honest and fair wages, and every teen loves working there. I see a lot of businesses in work and I must say this is a truly remarkable company that stems from a core management team that values it's customers, staff, and the community members where they work. I would highly recommend this company to everyone, because not only are you going to get unbeatable results but you will know that you are supporting a business that supports its community and is committed to helping youth with disabilities achieve greatness.

Costa Verde build a fence in my backyard with an arbor and back gate. Very pleased with the workmanship and quality of materials. They were done in about four days and were hard working and efficient and left a clean environment when finished. Would recommend them. Also looking forward to have them help with getting my gardens in shape this spring and my beast of a hedge trimmed!

Judi Tedlie

As a 73 year old single woman with advanced arthritis one might think I should be living in a condo rather than a house at this point. But I love to have a garden and the wonderful service and all of the extras that Costa Verde provides I feel I am able to stay on in my house and enjoy the beauty that my garden provides. Every single young person that has worked on my property has been friendly and responsive and they really care that the end results are to their liking as well as mine.

Tellwell Publishing

Costa Verde is currently working on our front landscaping and have been completely delightful to deal with. The contractors are always in a good mood, work hard, clean up and they communicate clearly. They have been thoughtful and creative regarding potential cost savings and though they aren't quite done, we can already see how beautiful the garden will look. There's a reason they get so many good reviews. They are true professionals.

Terry “TS321” S

I had a crew in for a day to do some weeding and cleaning of the flower gardens. The crew of two did an excellent job and were very professional and courteous. The one problem was the break down and understanding of the charges on the invoice which was not fully explained prior to the work during the estimate. Overall, very pleased again with the work.

Joanne MacMillan

Working with Dan/Costa Verde was a great experience. He is super knowledgeable and gets things done in a timely manner. Dan provided us with a range of options so we could get the work done within our budget. His crews are highly productive and got so much done in the time alloted. Our place looks great! I would highly recommend Costa Verde for your gardening needs.

Jone Grant

Great job, done in a timely manner. Nice treat to come home to a groomed yard!

Carrie Tuck

Hard workers for a small but difficult job that I could not have done myself. Appreciated the effort and perseverance it took to get those fence holes dug.

Allison Nelson-Bruce

We are so pleased to be working with Costa Verde! We had them out this summer for a general yard clean-up and have now signed up for ongoing yard maintenance. Their team is very professional and we would highly recommend Costa Verde.

Leanna c

Costa Verde had come to deal with my monster hedge last year and I was extremely pleased with the result. The professionalism and dedication of the crew to get the hedge into a proper shape and clean up after was wonderful. I hired them again this year to do the hedge and some other trees in my front yard. I would recommend them to my friends. Sincerely Leanna

Shea Sweeney

Holli came and did the estimate, explained what they should be done, price and time frame. Joseph set up the dates and time and the crew came on schedule and completed everything ontime. Garden looks great and will definately be using Costa Verde again!

Lambada Victoria

We had a big contract with them. Final price was more than double their estimate. We had plans professionally done that were not followed. Timeline was not respected. I keep anonymity because of fear of retaliation. They are aggressive and try to eliminate all negative reviews under their name hence their high rating.

Richard Pennington

These guys were great. On time, on budget, couldn't ask for a better experience. They turned my yard from "Bungle In The Jungle" to something that I'm proud to call my yard. My dogs even liked them, and my dogs are great judges of character. Hire them, don't think twice!

Nicole Bates-Eamer

I received fabulous service from Costa Verde. They were super responsive to my emails and enquiries, and transformed my yard from an overgrown meadow to a welcoming grassy lawn. Would most definitely recommend the Costa Verde team to anyone looking for a reliable company to transform their yard/garden/lawn. Thanks!

Marian Paris

We had an excellent experience with Costa Verde. The scope of our residential landscaping job was detailed and costed in advance, executed exactly as promised, with good oversight of the crew on the day. No surprises! Highly recommend.

Elea Abbott

The Costa Verde team was friendly, knowledgeable and tidy. They were on time and easy to work with. A great team and a great product.

Mike Quinn

Many thanks to the young gents that came over to remove our old decrepit lawn. They were punctual, professional and did exactly what was needed. Would not hesitate recommending Costa Verde in the future.

Kate Dickson

I have made many futile attempts to locate a crew that is reliable, affordable and does a good job. I am now, dealing with Costa Verde and very happy. I love that you simply email with any additional work required. The other day, Dan dropped by for a quality check. Very professional team and I heartily recommend their services. Kate

Myles Stewart

I am very happy that I went with Costa Verde for spring cleanup this year. They did an EXCELLENT job. Our garden is looking beautiful. They even went above and beyond, as one of the plants they added went "crispy". I contacted them, they showed up at 8 am the next day, replaced the plant and provided detailed instructions on how to care for the plants moving forward. I am looking forward to upping my budget next year and working with them to create a utopian garden bliss at my home. Thanks for doing great work, and being an awesome local small business. You have my support.

Diane Kallal

I was overwhelmed with what needed to be done in my garden. Dan was sympathetic to my budget and his crew took care of the chores I couldn't take care of. It gave me the impetus to start working (happily!) in my garden. They are great.

C Ma

The Costa Verde team were great. I had initially started work on my project with another company but found them to be unreliable and the work was sloppy. I hired Costa Verde to clean up the mess left by the last crew and to finish the job, which they did on time and on budget. I am so happy with the finished project, my garden looks great and Dan and his team were so friendly, it was a pleasure working with them. My only regret is that I didn't choose them from the start. Thanks.

Anthony D

We have had excellent experiences with Costa Verde. The process began with an initial consultation where we reviewed in person the work that needed to be done so that when the crew arrived (on time) on the appointed date they had already been briefed and could begin work immediately. After completing the work, the supervisor conducted a walk-through with me of the work that had been done and made some great recommendations on how to maintain the garden between visits. The garden and yard look amazing and the clean up with done to my expectation. These guys are very professional and are subject matters in their field. We have been lucky to have the same supervisor on each visit and that continuity certain contributes to the professional experience. The crew is always friendly.

Lisa Hartley

At the beginning of spring I received a flyer of their services at my home I left a detailed message including my name & phone number & email to reach me back And never got the call

Vanessa Goluboff

Staff are friendly and the owner Dan is committed to customer service.

Tracy Cross

Paul and his team did a nice job cleaning up my yard on such short notice. I put the house up for sale and was overwhelmed by the amount of work necessary to have a presentable yard. I appreciated their hard work and professional manner.

Bruce Myles

The guys were able to turn our small and wasted back yard into a useable and beautiful space, on time and on budget. Small issues came up along the way, but they had great communication and everything was dealt with promptly and professionally. Thanks Costa Verde team!

Alyne Mochan

Excellent service! The crews are always friendly, professional and do great work. Responsive to any issues that arise and proactive about any extra work that might need done eg seasonal clean up. Very reliable and conscientious. Highly recommended!

manjit dhaliwal

What a delightful group of very professional and efficient people that are highly knowledgeable. I put my trust into this company and they didn’t fail to fulfill my needs. Everything went so perfectly with incredible punctuality. I look forward to continue working with them and watch them transform my yard into an outdoor haven. Thank you Costa Verde , you are all amazing!

Bob Goldschmid

My property is about 2/3 of an acre with numerous flower beds and other plants. It has been neglected for some time and was overrun with weeds. Costa Verde sent a team of people to the property and they managed to tame the jungle. Some plants were casualties of the weeding process, along with one or two punctured (but easily repaired) sprinkler system hoses. Other than that, the essential plants were preserved. The cost was reasonable, communication was easy, everything that was promised was completed on time, the team worked hard, and the place looks great. Overall, I was very satisfied with the work and would recommend the company. As a result, I have hired Costa Verde to do regular maintenance.

Christine Diemer

We recently needed to have a fall-clean up done on our large property, and received a recommendation for Costa Verde. We were completely pleased with the job that they did. They were prompt, very professional, very pleasant to deal with, and left the place looking great. We will certainly be using them again in the future and have no hesitation in recommending them highly.

jgenert

One of their guys butchered my tree by trimming it to a nub. It won't be growing back this spring :(

Kerry Wright

Great service, and super simple. Quote only took a few minutes, everyone was prompt and professional, and the whole process was seamless.

susan purtell

We have used Costa Verde for our garden in the last year. They do an incredibly good job. The teams are knowledgeable, efficient and thorough. I have nurtured my garden for nearly 30 years, and now that I am unable to do so, it is wonderful to have people who care to do it for me. Thank you so much Susan P.

Daragh Nagle

Costa Verde have been providing us landscaping services since early summer. They have delivered on time as promised and responded quickly to requests for additional items. Good to see quality succeeding.

From Li-Jun Song, My garden has been looking very beautiful because of them. Their staff are very hard working and demonstrated very high skill level. I want to thank them for doing their job so well.

Stephanie C

Dan and his team were great to work with. They made our backyard-dreams a reality by providing exceptional service and advice. Paul and Adam were friendly and efficient. Angele and Duff were knowledgeable and meticulous; true professionals who we hope to see more of socially! Working with Dan to come up with a plan and budget was also very easy and when changes had to be made, each member of the Costa Verde team responded quickly without compromising our vision and goals of the project. We met with several other landscaping companies in Victoria, but after meeting Dan we could tell he was honest and reliable, miles above the rest. We are so pleased with the results and will definitely continue to work with Costa Verde in the future. Thanks Dan and all members of the Costa Verde Team !! Cheers, Mike and Stephanie

Lynda Liinamaa

Very pleased with the service and how much the two nice fellows managed to do in 1.5 days. Dan was also prompt and courteous . Will certainly have them back!

Vanessa Fehr

So thrilled with the work Costa Verde did on my property. I am once again proud to show off my home.
