"AJL Janssen Landscaping showed up on time, did exactly what was discussed for the agreed price and the result was beautiful beyond all expectations; a professional and pleasurable experience from start to finish."

"Janssen Landscaping put in a stone walkway, a new patio, a sand box, and steps into the water to integrate with our new dock in the spring of 2015. Before choosing Janssen, we received proposals from two other contractors. Their proposal was the most thorough of any we received. Their work was completed on time, and the landscaping was more beautiful than we ever imagined. The people working on the landscaping were professional courteous, and very accommodating."

Craig and Brenda Robbins

"Anthony came highly recommended by our builder – and he was right! With his knowledge and experience Anthony produced a beautiful design that truly exceeded our expectations. His team were perfectionists in executing that design, contouring the ground and then installing granite and stone to look and feel completely natural. All communication was clear and accurate, and our project was done on time and on budget. Our thanks to Anthony and his entire team."

"I can spot the workmanship and style of the Janssen Landscaping team within minutes of reviewing a landscape for planting design. The even placement and spacing of steps, soft eye-pleasing curves of walkways, terrace edges and river rock. To the untrained eye, Anthony's landscapes are just comfortable to move through, without realizing why. To the seasoned expert, their creative placement and blend of granite materials is pleasantly unique and balanced. Their attention to creative details could write the book on the best solutions to Muskoka landscaping. By combining even curves, perfectly spaced patio stones, functionality, safety, accessibility and water management, the work of this professional team brings a smile to my face every time I see their work."

"Thank you again for the inspired and timely work. Much appreciated!"

Peter and Carrie Simon

"After having bought a brand new cottage on Lake Rosseau, it was decided that amongst other things, the property needed extensive landscaping. Upon meeting with Anthony, it became clear that he and his team had the potential of not only producing excellent landscape results, but could prove to be invaluable in providing guidance and advice in the balance of the work needed at the cottage. Anthony and his team exceed even those lofty expectations and delivered superb results - on-time and slightly below budget notwithstanding a couple of 'surprises'. For example, they found other issues with the property's hard landscaping that were technically outside the scope of the work agreed to, but corrected them nonetheless.

Anthony and his team are perfectionists of the highest order. I would trust them implicitly and in fact outright and categorically refuse to do anything on the property (even if not technically landscaping related) without first discussing the matter with my new and valued friends at Janssen Landscaping. Anyone looking for further references regarding Anthony and his team should feel free to get my contact information from his office and contact me directly. They are truly exceptional"

"It has been a pleasure working with you on three significant landscaping projects over the past few years. From the shared development of a creative vision, through to execution, the Jansen Landscaping crew were professional, attentive and hard working. Even when mother nature intervened with heavy rains and mudslides, you remained committed to your original budget and still met the completion date. The finished product in each case, enhanced the natural beauty of the property. You have a unique ability to design and implement a landscaping plan that is both aesthetically pleasing and able to stand the test of time. We are pleased to recommend you to prospective customers and would be happy to share more of our experience with them"

Mike & Alanne

"Thank you for the excellent work on our outdoor patio retreat. We are thrilled with the quality of workmanship, punctuality and ability to stay on budget. We love the work and we will be able to enjoy many hours of cottaging al fresco!"

Lora Gernon

"We were very pleased with the work that Anthony and his crew did. We had some existing stone work and pathways done prior to us purchasing the house, and the difference in the work is night and day. Anthony's crew makes sure that every little detail is done correctly, from leveling each and every stone, to making sure there are no uneven edges on the the stone, that you could trip on when you walk.

The design was perfect for our property and we have had so many comments on how natural it looks and they couldn't believe that it had just been completed in June 2006; so this coming year it will be even more spectacular.

The crew was professional and the work was completed in the time that they had estimated. When they were done, you wouldn't have known that they were there. The driveway, yard, everything was immaculate.

We would recommend Anthony Janssen Landscaping to anyone without hesitation. As a matter of fact, they are doing an indoor project for us in our new store in Innisfil."

Marion & John Mochrie

"We are extremely pleased with the results of the landscaping project and in particular Anthony's attention to detail. The steps down to the lake are not only practical, but have also added tremendously to the overall appearance of the property. As we were not able to be in Muskoka when the work was actually being done, we did have some concerns with just leaving it to Anthony. However, these fears were unjustified and it was completed on time and exactly per our discussions. I should also mention that the drainage system that he installed has worked well during the spring thaw and our driveway and grading has not washed away as it has in the past. We would be happy to recommend Janssen Landscaping to any of our friends."

Larry Sisnett

"Some people long for the good old days when craftsmen did a masterful job on-time, on-budget, with the owner of the business on site - and other people do what we did - hire Janssen Landscaping. Aside form our property value shooting up, we have categorical evidence that there 'are' great people who care about what they do, work hard, and are nice guys in the process."

The Fergusons

"Anthony and his team did a fantastic job for us, not only in a superb design and on-time and on-budget execution, but in exceptional follow-up customer service and support. I would recommend them to anyone."

Chris Bogart

"My husband, who is not a garden person and is not typically given to rave reviews, could only say, ' spectacular, and when can you get Anthony back to do the rest of the property?' The transformation is truly amazing. What was a beautiful setting (how can it not be in Muskoka), has been very creatively and functionally enhanced. The pathways and gardens look so natural, like they belong and have been there for a long time. At the same time, it is easier to move around and enjoy the property.

From my perspective, in 15 years of renovations large and small, in the city or at the lake, I can say with confidence you are the most professional organization I have worked with. Our job was completed ahead of schedule, in a very short time frame and when you left, the site was pristine (although Mother Nature certainly didn't help on that front). And it wasn't just the on-site crew, the office staff are just as professional. From the proposal to the follow-up after the job, the whole organization is very buttoned down. It was truly a pleasure!"

Karen and David Anderson

"My husband and I are so pleased with all the work that Anthony has done at our cottage. It was a fluke that I found him with an Ad in the local Muskoka newspaper. Dawn was the first person I spoke to at Janssen's and she was so friendly and professional. They are so well organized, they came when they said they would, arrived on time, did the job in a number of days Anthony said they would, and left the cottage landscaping looking amazing!! Everyone that visits comments on what an amazing job Anthony has done because everything blends in so beautifully to the natural surroundings. We would not hesitate to recommend Anthony & his team to anyone!"

Sharon and Brett Ashton

"The Project we had done by Janssen Landscaping has transformed the entrance to our cottage. What was once a very steep and uneven wooden staircase down to our front door is now a gently winding stone path that has opened up the view to the lake and made the front of our cottage warm and welcoming. As our cottage is built on a fairly steep hill down to Lake Joseph, we also wanted a piece of flat land for the children to play on. Anthony Janssen met with me to discuss the projects and made it a very simple process. It was done quickly and they left the property in perfect condition. They cleared out some of the trees and manicured the space just enough; it is still wild and cottagey, but has a more accessible and open feeling which we love. We really look forward to enjoying the new landscaping season!"

Sarah and Mark Wellings

"I have just returned from closing the cottage at Thanksgiving and seeing "my new rocks" for the first time. I am so very thrilled with the new stairs and patio. I am simply 'over-the-moon.' The end result is even better that I'd imagined it would be. You are indeed a Master Landscaper. Everyone who has seen, walked & sat on the property is effusive in their praise for your work - I hope this project generates a great deal of business for you.

I think my favourite part of seeing the rocks for the first time was noticing how the grain and scalloping of each stone step was different, how the rocks were placed perfectly, so naturally, that walking up the hill seems effortless now, and how the pathway design complimented the age old Muskoka landscape. I was particularly impressed with your attention to the drainage on the property. Please thank your crew for me-my son told me how hard and efficiently they worked. I can hardly wait for next summer to watch the world from my new patio. I don't think I'm going to move!!!!!

Thank you .Thank you. Thank you ...."

The Birks

"We have known the Janssen Family for many years in Muskoka. We asked Anthony to do our remodeled cottage several years ago and were delighted with his creativity and workmanship. It has been a source of pleasure over the years. We recently had the occasion to use him for another job and were extremely pleased with the outcome once again. We are firm supporters of his efforts."

Peter and Gillian McMullin

"There are times in life when you see something that makes you smile, your kids no doubt have given anyone of us the sense of pride now and again, opening that one toy on Christmas Day that you waited all year for and it's everything you imagined it to be.

When our family decided to redo our family cottage landscaping, we wanted to get that smile, pride and expectation of excitement when we drove up the cottage driveway, or came back from a day on the boat towards the dock. Anthony and his team did more. In 8 days he transformed our cottage into an amazing piece of real-estate. Everything we hoped for was accomplished and then some. Our only issue now, is that Anthony did too good of a job and we may have to tear down our cottage and upgrade to the level of his landscaping!"

Kurt Robertson

"Anthony came to the rescue when our retaining wall, over 170 feet long, was on the verge of collapse! So professional was he and his crew, the retaining wall looks great and I have real peace of mind. Thanks everyone!"

Gene Graham

"Working with Anthony and his staff at Janssen Landscaping has been a very rewarding experience.

Through his knowledge and experience, Anthony provided for us a beautiful rock and granite landscape to enhance our cottage. As our future outdoor projects evolve, we will continue to work with Anthony and his team. Our thanks to everyone involved."
