Our retaining wall was collapsing on us! A few companies came and walked away, they didn't want to do it. New Look came, gave a proposal, gave us the addresses of a few places where they had put up walls. We decided to go with New Look and are extremely pleased with the results, as you can see from the pictures! I will use them again on any future project and have already recommended them to a friend. Ryan always kept the work site as clean and neat as possible. Cost was shared 50/50 with the neighbour. More...

We wanted to extend the landing at the backdoor of our bi-level into a deck. A small project that Ryan tucked into his busy schedule. He was affable, accommodating and very professional. Ryan made excellent suggestions to improve our concept. He was flexible in the constructing of the deck and had no problem with my husband digging the 4 holes for the support posts or adding the railings.I would recommend him to anyone. More...

My yard was non-functional with lots of stairs. Ryan gave me suggestions on improving access to my garage and backyard by installing a retaining wall and grading the back. The finished yard looks amazing and more importantly safe and efficient. Highly recommend and will use Newlook on my next project More...

We were impressed with Ryan at our first meeting,,, his energy, ambition and design expertise were clearly apparent,, and he continued to wow us throughout the entire project. They started with a mud hole and turned it into a beautiful oasis that we will be able to enjoy for years to come,,, everything from fence, gate, deck, trees, shrubs, flowers, lawn, automatic sprinklers, curbing, paving stones and tons of rundle rock,,, they totally delivered! They never stopped until the job was fully completed. We couldn’t be happier with the final product, and would recommend them to everyone we know. Thanks guys for a job well done!! More...

We had a backyard fence, paver stone patio, and a set of stairs from our deck down to the new patio installed by Ryan and his team, and we could not be happier with the results. While we had a few adds (shrubs, trees, grading and few other items) through the project, they completed everything in just a few days, with exceptional results. We would highly recommend New Look Landscapes to anyone looking to have very high quality work done at a reasonable price. On top of everything, Ryan was able to squeeze us in, allowing us to have the new patio ready for our daughter's wedding after-party. More...

After looking at reviews on HomeStars and elsewhere we decided to call New Look Landscapes for a quote for re-doing our back yard, pulling up existing pavers, creating a patio area, adding in sod, retaining wall around a flower bed and installing a gate in existing fence. When Ryan came over he listened to what we wanted and suggested a few options that he thought would work, reusing existing stones where possible to save us money. Unlike some others out there he was focussed on giving us what we wanted rather than trying to upsell or increasing the scope. During the work Ryan and his team were very friendly, kept us up to date on what was happening and left the space clean every night. The finished yard looks better than we had imagined at the beginning, we are really looking forward to using the space over summer. Some of our nosier neighbours have even commented on how good a job they have done! I would definetly recommend New Look Landscapes to anyone. More...

We chose Ryan and New Look Landscapes based on the numerous positive reviews on HomeStars, so we had high expectations. The work and service did not disappoint. New Look completely transformed our backyard by expanding our existing stone patio and installing a new fence. They also removed our greenhouse and a number of old, overgrown plants. The project was organized and efficient, and the crew made a point of cleaning up everyday.

Ryan put in a new paved stone patio and a landing with stairs leading up to our patio door a few months ago. It looks great. He did the work fast and efficiently, and he was reliable and knowledgeable. We chose New Look Landscapes based on the great reviews on HomeStars and on the fact that the quote was less than half of what another landscaping company would have charged us for this work. We had paid that other company for a drawing of our landscaping project and this drawing contained a measurement error - Ryan took full responsibility for not noticing this error until a good part of the work was done and for fixing it, which we appreciated. We fully recommend New Look Landscape and are going to rehire them for the next phase of our project this summer. More...

Our Backyard was a Mess, our grading was poor, our grass was dead and our dogs had completely taken over. Not the kind of yard we wanted to spend much time in. After having multiple companies out to quote our job we made the decision to bring on New look Landscapes to rejuvenate our backyard. Ryan was the most responsive and the most personable of the bunch. Combined with the very strong and positive reviews we made the easy decision to go with New Look Landscapes for this project. Right after our consultation we received a quote within 24 hours of him being here. He spent at least and hour chatting with us to understand exactly what we were looking to do, paying attention to the details and pointing out the good in our yard (even if we couldn't see it at that moment). Ryan and his crew provided us with a fresh look and corrected all of the issues we were experiencing. He built us a beautiful gate for our dog run, fixed the grading issues and even took his own time to fix our hard to open / stuck gate, which he didn't charge us for! Talk about a nice guy! They gave us irrigation along the side of our home to help dissipate water from our sump pump. Overall the grass installation and the quality of the workmanship was on point, we cant wait until the grass gets established! They were great to work with and we would highly recommend them. The team was always on time and communicated exceptionally well. He would lend his opinion and expertise to ensure the back yard was perfect. Awesome job guys! We wouldn't hesitate to go to New look for future projects and we cant wait to enjoy our back yard this summer!Thanks again, Ryan and Team!-Steve & Brit More...

Ryan helped us landscape our back and front yard and it turned out excellent. We would recommend Ryan for your landscape job. During the planning process, Ryan helped us pick out all of the different types of trees and shrubs as well as designing the overall layout of the backyard. We appreciated that he listened to what we liked (colours, shapes, flowers) and then showed us examples of the types of plants we could get. We also appreciated how he visually showed us with markings on the ground how our landscaped backyard would look. It really helped us see it!Ryan and his team did a great job executing on the plan. They worked quickly over three days and everything came out exactly as expected. On top of that, Ryan and his team left everything very neat and tidy.

I got a few quotes, and for the exact same work, New Look came in lowest, and were fastest to respond. Ryan and his crew took my sorry excuse for a yard and made it beautiful. They removed all the trees (except the one I wanted to keep), refurbished and enlarged my patio with gorgeous stone, and removed all my dead, lumpy, weed-infested grass. I now have a lovely green yard and it looks bigger than I knew it was. Once Ryan finds me a few more trees for the fence line, it will be even better!My dog can now enjoy his time sniffing and exploring and peeing on every blade of grass without nasty thistles and pine needles poking his little paws.There was a delay in putting the sod in, because of the heat wave. Ryan wanted to wait until it was over so the grass didn't die. I appreciate that thoughtfulness. My neighbour got sod installed right at the height of the 32 plus degree weather and it looks terrible now.I have struggled with my gate for years and figured I'd need a whole new fence. Ryan fixed it for me, free of charge (and in under 5 minutes) and showed me how to do it myself if it shifts later. This crew works hard, are all professional and personable. Will be having Ryan take a look at my front yard soon! More...

Ryan and his crew were fantastic to work with.
Ryan was awesome on many levels. He initially listened to my ideas and was happy to work with them - but when we started to encounter obstacles with my plan, he stepped in and offered some different ideas that in the end turned out to be perfect for the backyard, a much better use of space, and more visually interesting. I really appreciated both his ability to try out my own thing, and then his expertise in moving these ideas into something more achievable.
Ryan was also very budget conscious and understood his customer, he was always quick to offer other ideas that would save money, and would even forgo parts of the job where money could be made just because he suggested we could save money by doing it ourselves. We really appreciated his honesty and we always felt he was looking out for us, the customer.
If you take a look at the photos of our yard, you can see it's a small infill backyard (25'x25'), but the scale of our job and limits to what you could do didn't turn him away, and he was happy to work within our budget. In the end, he was able to create four different spaces for us that fulfilled our needs (note: the pergola we built ourselves).
Lastly, Ryan's work was fantastic. The cuts on the stone and wood were great, they were very meticulous about leveling and spacing things properly, attention to detail and quality of work was high.
They finished the job one day ahead of time, more importantly - he and his crew showed up when they said they would, on time, worked late to get the job done, and at the end of the day, tidied up the whole yard, only to return the next day to do it all again. After building a house and working with 25+ trades, he was probably the only one who did things like this - it is rare in Calgary.
Ryan was also very patient and understanding when we changed our minds about materials.
Overall, Ryan and crew were kind, polite, totally customer-focused, did great quality work, had creative ideas, budget-conscious, honest, and hard-working. I would definitely recommend Ryan (already have) and would certainly hire him again for another project.
Thanks Ryan!!!

My backyard (an embarrassing mess of weeds, ant hills, overgrown shrubs, half-dead bushes, and a playhouse and back step stuck in the middle of the side yard) was in desperate need of landscaping, but after a couple of absolutely horrible experiences with other contractors (painters, fencers) I was very, very apprehensive about hiring someone to fix it. However, after reading a review that described Ryan at New Look Landscapes as a ‘perfectionist’ I gave them a call. I am so glad I did – they absolutely transformed my yard!
Ryan sent me a quote the first day, communicated regularly throughout the process, and even checked in a couple of weeks after the job was completed to make sure I was still happy with the work they’d done. Ryan and his crew are exceptionally hard workers, made an amazing amount of progress each day, and actually completed the job ahead of schedule. The job site was cleaned up at the end of every day, and they were meticulous about every detail – no matter how small. Ryan treats his clients and his crew with respect, and they treat your yard as if it were their own. I am extremely pleased with the job they did and recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking to hire a skilled landscaper who has integrity, a strong work ethic, and takes pride in a job well done.

Ryan created a lovely front walkway for us. He removed and disposed of our old sidewalk, then dug down 10-12 inches to prepare for the new bricks. Ryan was very particular about every detail, not moving on to the next step until it was perfect. For example, he tamped down one of the base layers 'one more time' several times because it didn't look quite right to him, and he would discard a brick if it wasn't exactly the fit he wanted. The whole job only took 2 days however, because Ryan works quickly, moving with assurance from one task to the next. His evident pride in his work made me confident that the walkway would be solid, and it is. He has checked with us a couple of times to make sure it is still level and, even with the freezes and thaws we have had, it is as straight and even as the day he finished. Ryan gave us a beautiful piece of landscaping that has dramatically improved the curb appeal of our home. We have recommended New Look to several people, including my husband's boss, and I am confident that they will be as pleased as we are. More...

Q&As

We do a lot of stone work - patios, pathways, retaining walls. It requires a lot of focus on the little details in the cutting of the brick and making sure it's prefect. That's what separate us from the pack - our effort in all the tiny details.

I love this work so starting my own business allows me to help homeowners bring their ideas to life!

We're good at what we do and take pride in the work we create.
