Customer Stories
Learn about the impact of our designs straight from our customers.
A HUGE Thank you to the Hansen Team for the great front and back yard renovations. Despite setbacks due to the COVID crisis, availability of supplies and some design adjustments, they kept us well-informed and offered sensible compromises in order to stay within budget and meet our original design goals. The extra attention to detail such as the construction of the “critter barrier” under the fence was very much appreciated.
Of significant importance was the fact that each and every day, the team cleaned up their tools and construction materials, including the sand/dirt on the street prior to departure. We received positive compliments from neighbours that nothing was left out to be a hazard and the neighbourhood was kept clean.
To Mike, Liam, Joe, Alex and the entire team, be confident and proud that your professional interactions, dedication to your work and excellent craftsmanship have produced an outstanding oasis for us to enjoy now and in the future.

Both lawn service in season & garden pre-season, end of season cleanup service are top quality. Staff are not only professional but quite pleasant when approached about their work. This is our 2nd year, would recommend/have recommended them.
- Penn L.
Beyond impressed!
This is the most professional, organized, and meticulous company I've ever hired for work at my house. The attention to detail the landscapers have, as well as the pride in their work shows every day when they were on the project. My backyard has been transformed into a work of art, and they managed this despite the drainage requirements that my yard had. They always provided updates, cleaned up after every day, and their team members worked very well together. I will be recommending them to all my friends and co-workers.
- Micheal L.
We are extremely pleased with our front and backyard makeovers. Everyone we dealt with at Hansen Landscaping demonstrated a professional work ethic and enthusiasm for the job. Thanks to Alex, Joe, Liam, Mike and the rest of the crew for helping us create our oasis. We could never have imagined such a beautiful space. If you want a landscaping team that is professional, friendly, show up on time and gets the job done….stop reading and call them…. You will not be disappointed! Thank you, thank you!

As a household devoid of green thumbs, we can confidently say you won’t regret using Hansen for all your landscape needs. We rely on the Hansen team every Fall and Spring to clean up our property and perform a wide variety of gardening and landscaping needs, which change yearly depending on the season and recent weather. This includes everything from landscape planning, pruning and planting, to leaf and debris removal, as well as tree trimming and entire species replacement, where necessary. A special shoutout to garden team leaders Amanda and Jodi, whose collective vast knowledge of cultivating flora appropriate for Canadian weather and specifically Ottawa’s micro-climate continues to amaze us year after year.
- Betsy K.
They’ve always been prompt, great communication and a real competitive price as compared to the other companies in the area. The team was fantastic in providing different options that we may not have otherwise thought of. We chatted with Sean each morning who would give us a quick debrief of the day before and the day ahead. The crew was unbelievably professional and to be honest I’m not sure that he and his crew ever took a break. Once we started to see the project come together and the level of detail and care/attention the crew took, we decided to increase the scope a bit…we couldn’t be happier.
