Dethatching

“I am thoroughly impressed with KHS's work. Every single person on the job is hard-working, courteous, professional, thorough, and apparently passionate about what they do. The site is cleaned up at the end of every single working day, with all the tools neatly lined up like little sardines in a can! Both you [Joanne] and Ken have consistently put in your time here, making sure everything is done to plan, or working out new plans on the spot, as necessary. Also, we couldn't be happier with the rock wall construction, and watching "The Great Wall of Black Mountain" grow so substantially every single day. Thank you so much for everything”

“It was a big decision for us to embark on a major landscape renovation this summer. Not only was the cost daunting, but also the thought of parting with a yard we had lived with for 20 years! Your team worked with us to implement a whole new front yard look. We took your plans in faith, really, and held our breath for the end result. The end result was an exciting new look to an old front yard. We still come home at the end of the day and marvel at the fact this is really our yard. Execution of the project was as quoted, both for price and time, which is always a pleasant surprise when contracting any renovation. We would have no hesitation in recommending your team to anyone!”

"We chose KHS for our landscape project because of their strong community presence and professional reputation. This, coupled with their design ability and wonderful crew, gave us a new backyard that far exceeded our expectations. Their attention to detail, and their willingness to accept our input gave us a yard we will enjoy for many years to come."

“Ken brings a wealth of horticultural expertise and experience packaged in a professional service dedicated to customer satisfaction. I have known Ken professionally for 16 years during which time he has developed a strong interest and commitment to pest prevention and management practices applied in an integrated and holistic approach to landscape design and maintenance. Ken has a great skill for communicating his knowledge and sharing ideas as anyone who listens to the AM 1150 Garden Show every Saturday morning can attest”

“I have known Ken Salvail for over twenty years and for most of those years I have worked closely with him in the field of horticulture both as his employer and as a co-worker. Currently he is my partner on my long running weekly radio show so we see each other on a regular basis and trade notes. He is a wealth of horticultural knowledge and has both a formal education in the field as well as many years of practical experience. As a public speaker he is excellent; both interesting and informative.”

"I had an amazing experience with KHS. I had garden beds enhanced, new beds redesigned, and a beautiful stone patio created. I appreciated the reuse of various plants and the renovation of my existing landscape design. It was an exciting experience having my vision come to life with the expert and professional care given by Ken and his team. KHS have provided me with a haven that I will enjoy daily."

“When selecting a landscaping design consultant, KHS came highly recommended. Joanne and Ken were very professional and attentive to our wants and needs. They involved us throughout the design process to create a customized and personalized landscape layout. We are extremely happy with the end result and would recommend HKS to others.”

“After a previous landscape renovation that resulted in a highly unsatisfactory job, we did our due diligence to identify a local landscaping company with solid professional credentials. KHS definitely exceeded our expectations on all counts. The design process was creative, thorough and collaborative. Once the design was approved, we were equally impressed with the on-site presence by Ken and Adrian, close site supervision and immediate resolution of problems during the installation phase and in the months following. To ensure that our vitally refreshed landscape received the care it needed, we also contracted with KHS for weekly maintenance; the quality/dependability/efficiency of that team is also superb. We cannot recommend them more highly – and in fact, we have.”

“We used Kens Horticultural Services at the recommendation of friends and were not disappointed. The whole team of designer Adrian, Horticulturist Ken, and all of the work crew showed great care and consideration in adapting our vision for our yard. We now have a beautiful, functional garden that our family will enjoy for years to come.”

“I hired Ken and his crew at KHS in the spring. I was finishing off my landscaping by installing more rock walls and a couple of waterfalls. KHS worked closely with Troy at Appellation Design who did the work. KHS did all the landscaping. They did a drawing, discussed it with me and we proceeded. They did a great job within budget. They now maintain all the landscaping on my property, and I am very pleased with their work. They come, they work, they clean up and they leave.”

“We chose KHS the first time because Ken is incredibly knowledgeable. We chose KHS again when building our new house because the entire team did a great job. They have a fantastic group of talented and creative people who worked in collaboration with us on a complicated project to design an ideal landscape for our property. The install team was efficient and professional at their tasks. The end result is something we will be happy with for many years.”
