Reviews of NorthStead Landscaping (Gardener)

Terry Tweedle

NorthStead provided professional services which exceeded our expectations. We asked for suggestions for a pergola and Darin on his own time found the perfect solution and executed it in a timely and professional manner. The brick work on our patio met our expectations and the landscaping work made our yard the envy or our neighbors. On more that one occasion we asked for changes to work already completed and without one word of complaint, the changes were made again to our satisfaction. The basis of all the work was planned by Darin in advance and the end result is something we are very pleased with.

Darin and his crew transformed my weedy gravel driveway into a work of art, in the incredible summer heat. They did a beautiful job, exceeding expectations, and left the job site clean afterward. Couldn't ask for a better experience with a contractor. Thanks!

Darin designed and created a sidewalk at our house in Corbeil. We wanted something rustic and simple to suit our environment. He came to the house with books for brick selection and had many great design ideas. His quote was right on the mark. The result is beautiful. Exactly what we wanted. He worked swiftly within weather restraints and kept us involved with all steps of the job. We would highly recommend him for any landscaping job!!!!!!!!!!!

Our interlock brick driveway was in need of replacement. We contacted a few companies and decided to ask Northstead to do the project. Darin was recommended by trusted friends and his completed work projects nearby were very unique and well done. He had the best plan to address a few ongoing issues with the previous driveway heaving in a few spots. Darin and his crew started on the planneddate and completed the project a week early. We gave Darin the creative freedom to design our front landing and steps. We are very happy with the steps and landing. It looks great! The work site was always clean, equipment stored and Darin was on site most of the time. I can't say enough great things about their work and final product. TY

Darin and his team did a great job creating our dream deck and we highly recommend him. He was able to execute a large and fairly complex project that required him to plan well, work with other contractors and pass city inspections. Darin is intelligent, has a gentle approach, is clearly experienced in several disciplines, and works hard each and every day on the job. This made him very easy to work with. Even when there were surprises in the ground or snags in the plan, he found a way to maneuver through the project without making us compromise or deviate from our original vision. We would definitely hire him again.

*******AWESOME********* We just had our driveway interlocked and we are completely thrilled with the results as well as the positive comments of others. The work done was exceptional and the work site was always kept tidy. There were no corners cut and Darin always made sure to check in with us to be sure we were happy with the process. Darin will also be doing other work in the yard in the near future.(we just love the finished product) We highly recommend NorthStead Landscaping.

Richard Standish

Very pleased with work done. Driveway and landscaping wall replaced. Very easy to work with. Work was done on time as promised, at the price promised in a very professional manner.

Absolutely delighted by the end result of our interlock driveway and walkway. If you're looking for a very hard worker who takes pride in his work, then Darren from NorthStead Landscaping is the person to hire. Darren and his sidekick David were relentless usually working over 10 hour days to complete our project. We loved Darren's ideas for the herringbone effect when laying the brick and the use of larger bricks for the edging. We couldn't be more pleased and would definitely recommend NorthStead for any landscaping service.

Phil& Carol Clement Fall 2014 we had interlocking brick installed in our driveway by Darin Barker of Northstead Landscaping Services. With Darin's visual and artistic style my neighbor and I were able to explain without difficulty what we wanted for a design in our driveway. He is accommodating to what we wanted for design and works well with his customers guiding them each step of the way. He works on site from beginning to end. Without hesitation we would recommend Darin to anyone. Thank you Darin for putting our vision into fruition. It's beautiful and so very easy to maintain. Cheers.???? Carol&Phil Clement

Had a great Reno done in my driveway, went from ashphalt to interlocking brick. Darin was great to help with design, and very meticulous in ensuring it was done properly. I would highly recommend NorthStead Landscaping.

Installed interlocking driveway; designed and installed interlocking walkways. Excellent, professional service. Work area always clean and tidy at the end of each day.

Darin and his team recently replaced our front steps, and we have been delighted with the result. Darin was easy to work with during the planning stages and brought expert insight and experience to our design ideas. The team was profession and hardworking, executed the vision beautifully, and tidied up each day. We will definitely be reaching out to Darin for any future projects.

Dr Kevin R Gagne

Great job. Very responsive. Will use again. They completed a large removal of an old concrete driveway and installed a beautiful interlocking driveway for us.

Tara-Lynn Scheffel

Thrilled with the new interlock driveway that Northstead installed! Darin was always prompt in answering my questions. I can't say enough good things about Darin and his team - they were professional and a pleasure to have around! I highly recommend Northstead for your next project.

Darin just completed our interlocking driveway and we love it! More importantly, it should last for many, many years to come. We ran into a bit of a problem with the base that was under my old driveway (clay) and Darin took the time and effort to ensure a proper base to support the new driveway. He is professional, hard working, and clearly takes pride in his work. Great job!

Eric Luckett

Darin and his team were excellent to work with. He helped me come up with a design and provided guidance on product, prep, and pricing. The end product more than met my expectations. Extremely happy! Scope of work included new driveway, patio, raised flower beds/retaining walls, and front/rear steps.

Natalie Matheson

We could not be happier with how our new deck turned out! After trying to contact a few contractors last summer, we were close to giving up when Darin answered my email and came over on a Friday night to take a look at our project and give us a quote! Darin took care of everything including drawing up plans and dealing with the permits required by the city, which was a relief! We also had Darin and his team do a brick walkway and it looks amazing! We have had many compliments on our new deck and the walkway! We highly recommend Northstead - you will not be disappointed if you decide to have them do some work for you. In fact, we are hoping that they will be able to do our front walkway and front step this summer!

Darin did a great job on the interlocking brick walkway to my house. He was very reliable and professional. He texted me throughout the process since I was usually at work when he was working on the walkway. I was pleased with the way he took the time to explain what all needed to be done. He was quick and efficient and the end result is beautiful.
