"We are truly satisfied with our beautiful backyard renovation last fall.  Anyone who visits marvels at the new and very much improved look.  This remarkable transformation converted our sloped, dated backyard into a beautiful terraced and very usable space.

The design and management of this very large project were splendid.  The contractor you found for us was hardworking and reliable, with a friendly crew.  The project came in on budget and on time.

It is remarkable to us that a renovation of this magnitude could be done in such a calm, organized manner.

Thank you for all of your work and the great follow-up you provided this spring.

5 out of 5 stars." - Shelley B.

Our History

Both long-time Leaside residents, Terry Summers and Karen Keay met at Ryerson University where they studied landscape design. Realizing that Karen's knowledge of plant material and love of garden design and Terry's contemporary spin would make a perfect pairing, keay+summers landscape design was born.
