Reviews of Heart's Content Gardens (Gardener)

Scot Adams

Lindsay has been working with us for several years on planning and managing our landscape. Her foresight has resulted in an amazing overall result with our trees, our florals and especially with our new vegetable garden. We highly recommend her work!

Heart's content gardens is amazing. Lindsay is full of innovative ideas and she really made the whole process enjoyable. The entire team went above and beyond to deliver my vision on time and on budget. i would recommend them to anyone!

Gillies at Arborcorp (tree cutting services) recommended Lindsay's company as a great place to help design and re-plant our front garden. From the first interaction, Lindsay McFadden was a pleasure to work with. We gave Lindsay an idea of our budget and she came back with a design and quote. Once we agreed to move forward she and her team arrived exactly when expected and worked all day to craft a beautiful garden. We're so excited by how fresh and new the entire front of the house looks. I'd recommend Lindsay without hesitation! Thanks LIndsay:-)

Had a initial consultation lined up for around dinner time. They said between 6-6:30. An hour later, I said “ are you still coming”, and no reply. Then I texted “HELLO “, as in is anyone there. Then I get a text saying “ be there in ten minutes “......... guess what, nobody showed or even had the decency to call back, leaving us hanging. If that’s how a business is run , it won’t last long.

Responses in general times and turnaround times leaves a lot to be desired

We have been very impressed with the work and follow through that Lindsay has provided to date. When we first met her, she came and listened to what our concerns were; then almost immediately, she began envisioning what we wanted and sketched it right away. The end product was beautiful! She provided many suggestions that we would not have thought of (nor liked) but in the end, we trusted her expertise and all turned out beautifully. We had a few issues with drainage and trees not thriving but Lindsay continued to be responsive to our concerns, even one year later. We would recommend Lindsay to anyone who is looking for someone to design and bring their landscape to life!

We had scheduled Lindsay McFadden to come to our home on September 8, 2021 at 5.30pm. She was a no show, no phone call, no message, nothing to reschedule. This conduct is unprofessional and unacceptable! When I took a closer look at the reviews, there were poor ratings with the same no show problem. how can you trust any landscaping work by this Company with ethics like this! Doug Oakville, Ontario

My wife and I are homeowners that take pride in our house. We strive to have a property that looks well cared for all year round. 11 years ago, we had the entire property professionally landscaped. Over 11 years I managed the property the best that I could. The bushes and gardens grew, some died, and everything looked different. We still very much liked the overall appearance but we knew that we needed some professional help. After referral from friends and neighbours we had Lindsay at Heart’s Content Gardens walk the property with us sharing her ideas and provide us with a quote. We really liked Lindsay’s approach and her suggestions. Lindsay listened to what we wanted while at the same time using her expertise to suggest what would work best to met our ideas. Lindsay got us a drawing and quote quickly and let us finish talking to a few other companies. We went with Heart’s Content and we were not disappointed. Lindsay gave us timelines early in the process, improved them after the quote and then did the work even quicker than communicated. Her crews worked hard and quickly and left the property clean and tidy everyday. They arrived when they said they would and got everything done quickly and efficiently. In the end the work was done quickly, professionally and on budget. If you are looking for your gardens to be refreshed, redone, or created from scratch Heart’s Content is the option for you!

Lindsay was a pleasure to work with as a landscaping consultant. She is there with you every step of the way, through every iteration, adjusting along the way to implement your vision. Her team is quick, organized and efficient. If you need a beautiful backdrop for your patio, I would not hesitate to utilize Lindsay's services.

Lindsay is wonderful to work with. Our complex looks great thanks to her. We would recommend Lindsay to anyone who wants quality work done.

We have used Heart's Content on 4 occasions. Two times we have had several of Lindsay's guys come and do some clean up - they have been efficient, did exactly what we asked for and were also friendly and tidied up well. Lindsay's biggest project with us was to create a garden pathway with an english garden type feel to it. This was several summers ago and it is delightful. The plant materials she recommended after we spoke about colour and what perennials I liked and disliked are growing well. There were a couple of plants that did not make it over the first several months and Lindsay just replaced them and came and replanted them herself. She also kept in touch right after the big job was done and visited several times to see how it was growing. We have also used a friend of Lindsay's to redo some stone work that had been done poorly by another local landscape company. She will be coming over soon to talk about some work in another area of our backyard and also to see about the side garden and how to beautify it. We also recommend Heart's Content to one of our neighbours and they are very happy with the result as well. Heather Dawick

I had an excellent experience with Heart's Content. From conversations about design all the way to the finished product Lindsay and her entire team were professional, engaging, and polite. I would not hesitate to recommend Heart's Content Gardens.

Heather Dalton

I am thrilled with the work Heart's Content did at our home. From design to execution- Lindsay was prompt and thorough with all aspects of updating the front yard. I enjoyed Lindsay's friendly and easy-to-communicate-with nature, as well as the friendliness of her crew. I have recommended Lindsay to many friends.

I selected Lindsay and Hearts Content Gardens after my initial meeting with Lindsay. My backyard was a disaster - the only word for it - it was piles of mud, ripped out interlock pavers from the old patio that got dug up during some excavating/waterproofing work and trees that had to go. I had a vision for it though and she understood what I wanted from the beginning. While I met with a few other companies, all of whom were friendly, seemed competent and had good reviews, I just knew that Lindsay was the right person and the best choice for me. I am a hands-on gardener which was taken into account in the scope - I didn't want a cookie cutter garden that requires little to no work - I wanted something creative and different, dog-proof (well, as dog-proof as you can get) and where I can get my hands in the dirt on weekends. I also wanted extra space in the flower beds to add plants myself. When Lindsay brought the design over we reviewed it, tweaked a few elements and agreed on the budget and the plan. The overall design included a brand new patio, fencing down one side of the property for privacy, new sod and decorative rock &stone elements as well as the plants. Here we are, a few weeks' later and 90% of the project is complete. The patio, fence and beds are done with the majority of the plants that went in yesterday - all that remains to be done is planting 1 tree, the roses and the lawn but it is still too early for these. Lindsay uses excellent partners (patio & fencing) who were a pleasure to work with and delivered exactly what I wanted and who cleaned up after their work was done, which is so important. Her own crew are friendly and helpful and did a fantastic job too. I am so grateful that the team was able to get my garden sorted out so early in the season - reducing the amount of mud on doggies' paws coming into the house - and giving me a space I actually want to spend time in. I can't wait for the weather to finally warm up so I can enjoy my new, private oasis. Next year the front garden Lindsay!! I would not hesitate to recommend Hearts Content Gardens to anyone and I thank you Lindsay for sticking to my project budget (!), for working so patiently with me and my frequent requests for information and ideas on plants, especially the last minute inclusion of a small shrub in memory of my mother - that means the world to me.

We had seen photos on Lindsay's website and loved her ideas and combinations of plants and trees etc. The front garden needed some "curb appeal" and TLC.... we thought Lindsay would be the perfect person to design this and bring it up to date. This house was actually the home I grew up in, so for me there are a lot of memories and love for this home. Lindsay was fun to work with and always making suggestions and staying in tuoch. We had some ideas of what we wanted and she had some thoughts and suggestions as well - combined - I think we came up with a garden we love!!. So much more we could say..... Hearts Content Gardens made our hearts content! Jane & Bob

Not as experienced as I was led to believe by owner, often left project in hands of temporary/seasonal workers lacking experience. I suspect other "glowing" and annonymous reviews were posted by the owner herself, given her character.
