I had Helmutz install a stone walkway along my driveway and around the front porch, and I'm very pleased with the results! Eric (and the whole team) were easy to work with from outset to install: professional, responsive, patient, and considerate of my design & accessibility goals. Plus, they were able to accommodate scheduling around other landscaping projects, which was super helpful.
Thanks, Helmutz!
Thanks, Helmutz!

We were fortunate to have Helmutz crew back for the 4 th time, to work on yet another project for us. This project involved redoing our backyard patio, enlarging it, as well as prepping for a swim spa, with retaining walls. As with every project weve had them work on the crew were polite, efficient, respectful and always diligent with their end of day clean up. They worked with us to bring to life our vision throughout the design process. Helmutz stands by the quality of their work as well as product. We would highly recommend Helmutz for any landscaping, driveway project!

Helmutz recently installed a patio, lighting and a water feature in our backyard. Due to the grade of our yard, a small retaining wall was also installed. From planning to completion, the process couldnt have been more smooth. We appreciated Erinne and the teams knowledge and previous experience. This helped us narrow down our choices to get exactly what we wanted. Neighbours also commented on how impressed they were with the clean up that was done on the street each night. The crew was professional and a pleasure to work with. Our backyard looks amazing! A huge thank you to the Helmutz team
