Alex and the Dig and Design crew did an excellent job on the landscape project at our Lakefield home. Alex carefully consulted with us about needs and preferences before starting the project. They then expertly completed the work to schedule, with courtesy, and spot on their quoted estimate. We are also grateful to the neighbour who said, “Landscaping? Get Dig and Design.”

Alex and his crew were wonderful! We hired them to work on our previous home before we sold and now we are bringing them with us to transform the backyard of our new home. From the first phone call they made everything easy. They were always on time, clean friendly and very polite. I was particularly impressed by the creative design ideas that Alex presented to us in the beginning. I didn't realize we had so many options! We highly recommend Dig N Design to anyone looking for good professional work at a great price!

Dig & Design Landscaping did our front walkway and step two years ago. We were very happy with the finished product and received many compliments. This year we wanted a patio installed in the back and didn’t hesitate to contact Dig & Design again. Alex was great at designing the layout and kept in contact with us to fine tune the details and schedule the work. Alex and his crew make a great team who are friendly, punctual, and they worked very hard both days. The high level of workmanship and attention to detail resulted in an amazing, beautiful patio! We highly recommend Dig & Design Landscaping. Thank you to Alex and all the guys, you are awesome!!

We are repeat customers and have always been pleased by the work that Alex and his team at Dig and Design have done for us. Their workmanship is excellent, they are reliable and get the work done in a timely manner. They have a lot of landscape design experience and are always there to help you with your job. We are looking forward to work with the Dig and Design team again.

Alex has completed some exceptional landscaping on our front yard. Curb appeal has been given some "pop". We will be having him back in the spring to landscape our rear yard. Looking forward to seeing what he can do.

I have been fortunate to work with Alex and his team over the last 2 summers. He worked within my budget while bringing creative ideas that I never thought possible. Alex takes great pride in his work, values professionalism and the final results are stunning. I look forward to the next project

Alex and his Dig and Design crew are amazing. In our backyard they designed and built a patio stone deck around our pool, along with gorgeous circular steps from our kitchen area, and a beautiful pergola. In the front yard they designed and build fan steps, along with a new walkway and garden. Alex worked with us throughout the process. Through the design stage he helped us select stones, provided advice on design, and explained in detail how he would deal with issues such as drainage and protecting our pool. Throughout the construction he kept us abreast on progress, and suggested design changes to improve functionality as well as visual appeal. The replacement of the previous wooden deck with paving stones has greatly increased the usable area of our back yard, has added to its utility, and increased our property value. Alex and his crew were extremely knowledge and skilled craftsmen. Every detail was dealt with 100% attention and efficiency (his crew actually swept the street each night after working). The project was completed on time and on budget. It is without reservation that we give Dig and Design 5 Stars. Donna and John

We have a beautiful backyard patio that was designed and installed by Dig & Design. The team that came to do the job was very hard working, and professional. The patio still looks amazing 5'ish years later! Thank you so much, will be sure to let you know when we are ready to do the front walkway!

I am general contractor in the GTA and sought out Dig & Design Landscaping to do a driveway addition and fencing for a client of mine. They went above and beyond to get the job done before winter and had outstanding communication every step of the way. End result looks excellent, my client is extremely happy and I will without a doubt use their services again.

Nancy Burrell

Alex and his crew are the best. This is the second project we have hired them for and are really pleased. They are excellent workmen and work quickly without compromising the finished product. Would highly recommend them for your landscaping needs.

The attention to detail and professionalism was wonderful to see. They went above and beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend Dig and Design to anyone.

Betty Brant

The Person who called me to find out what was very rude impatient . I realize that talking on the phone he doesn't see me to know that I can not hear well but he didn't give me the chance to tell him I am elderly so I need people to speak slowly I will not seek his service again.

Dig and Design Landscaping was recommended by several of our neighbours. We are very happy with the work that Alex and his crew did. They were all professional and very accommodating. Alex’s design and recommendations were perfect for our front yard and driveway. I would not hesitate to recommend them or hire them again for any future landscaping projects.

Cal Clarke

Had them do our front steps and walkway. Does good work quickly and kept his promise date! Not many contractors do that anymore.

Robert Nash

Alex and his crew at Dig and Design recently completed our laneway and walkway (June 2021). Been a challenging year to get work done and find materials but Dig and Design was responsive, gave us a good quote, worked to find interlock we liked and brought the job in ahead of schedule and within the original quote, even though our requirements changed along the way. We are very happy and would recommend Dig and Design.

Cornelia Lupu

Alex and his team were punctual, hard working and finished a big project in one day, didn't miss anything from what we wanted. We are very happy with the result! Highly recommend Dig and Design.

Fred Smith

Alex and his crew at Dig and Design are absolutely amazing. He is attentive and helpful and always available. I had interviewed a few other companies, but 2 minutes after meeting Alex I knew he was honest and hard working and the one we wanted to hire. Never have I seen a crew of people work so hard as when they came to do our house. Great work ethic! We had them do retaining walls along the driveway made of brick, a beautiful stone staircase, a stone landing at the front door, river rock along the front of the house and an armour rock staircase for easy access to a side yard. They did a beautiful job. Alex is meticulous, he's always out there measuring and grading the stones. We are also getting the driveway paved and parging done around the exterior of the house through him. I was pleasantly surprised to know that all our needs were met with just his company. I thought we would have to interview and hire different companies. Next year he's coming back to do our deck. His prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend this company. Susan Smith

This company evidently doesn’t know enough about landscaping or communication (or professionalism as indicted in their response to this review with name throwing and an unassociated address). They did an interlock patio in 2016 on a property we recently purchased. They didn’t excavate enough beforehand resulting in the interlock coming up too high over the brick work of the house with the weep wholes left wide open at the same level as the interlock. This caused water to enter and permeate the basement and we’ve had to completely gut the basement. Water also pools on the patio and the bricks were even sitting more then 6” above the bottom of the fence causing the bottom of the fence to rot. When we contacted the company owner to get a better understanding of the job they had previously done or if they could help repair the issue, we were yelled at and told nothing would be done to fix the situation. This work was done in 2016, we’ve had it confirmed by a few neighbours this was the company who completed the job and we’re having to have it completely redone less then 5 years later. Customer service was atrocious as simply good communication about the job could have remedied this situation enough for us but they seriously failed that when we were yelled at for even enquiring about it. Bullying and yelling at their customer/potential customers to get their desired result (again, as exhibited by their response to this review) is not how to communicate appropriately. There are many more professional companies in Peterborough and we are glad we looked in to those options for other jobs we had completed. The decency to communicate in an appropriate way about the job when we called would have gone a long way.
