We hired Folia twice to do large scale landscape design projects at both our homes. They recently completed a large backyard project for us. We are thrilled with the results. Peter provided the most creative design and stayed within our budget. We absolutely recommend Folia to others and consider them the top landscaping company in the area. Their team was great from start to finish!

We hired Folia to transform our old outdated landscape. The results are tremendous. A very nice looking fire pit, water feature, lots of evergreen plants and beautiful maple trees. They also installed a privacy fence all around and now our family and pets get to enjoy the yard all year long. The textures and colors Peter used in selecting plants is tremendous. As the weather changes and we move into fall, the colors in our garden are gorgeous. We had no idea it would turn out this beautiful.

We were referred to Folia through a neighbor. Folia came in and removed much of the original shrub that were unhealthy and gave a fresh new look. The project was not an easy one, with many requirements and permits from the city and Peter took care of us from the beginning to end. The folia team are professional, respectful and hard working. We also want to thank the crew for their excellent work. Peter is extremely talented. Could not be more satisfied with the end result. Thank you for giving new life to our yard!
