​"I am so pleased with the new backyard.  I think the new plants will look great.  Thank you for your help with the design and selection of plants.  I will enjoy the peace of sitting outside in a beautiful backyard.  My front and back yard look so much better!  It was a pleasure working with you Dana and Colin."  Irene Kavanagh (Winnipeg)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         "My husband and I wished to turn our boggy, ugly fire pit area into a dry place where we could entertain.  It was a nice spot, but we just never used it.  We had a really good idea of what we liked and wanted - which was stairs leading to a rustic, flagstone patio with fire pit.  We had a few recommendations for landscape contractors, but they all seemed to want to direct us towards using prefab concrete pavers...except Colin.  He saw our vision, understood exactly what we desired, and helped us to make it happen!  He was knowledgeable, had realistic timelines, was reasonably priced and truly cared about the job.  I would highly recommend The Gardening Hoe!"  Janice Brolly (Beausejour)


​"We called Colin & Dana to help finish our yard. We couldn't decide on landscaping for our front yard they came up with a design that we loved & it was right in our budget. We were very impressed with their work, the quality & timeliness. When we need more work done, Colin & Dana will be our only call."  Lori and Mike Karos (Oakbank)


"Thanks a lot for all of your hard work.  The experience of working with you has been great.  You are very professional (I have had some not so much) & your prices competitive.  We love the result & will definitely be calling for more quotes in the spring!"  Candace Ringland (RM of Springfield)


"I feel very fortunate that I happened across The Gardening Hoe in the local newspaper.  I was at a loss as to what to do with my new yard.  Colin & Dana got back to me in good time with their incite & ideas.  Everything was done in record time & Dana was always there with great advice even after the job was completed.  I'm very happy with the results!  It exceeded my expectation!  I've received countless complements by neighbours & friends.  I'd recommend The Gardening Hoe to anyone."  Oakbank Resident - Ashley Drive (Oakbank)

"Today I tried some of my own gardening in the front...I have to tell you I want to enjoy it, but really I don't! I kept thinking to myself, I like gardening, I like gardening, I REALLY like gardening.  Gardening is suppose to be relaxing, but lying to myself didn't work.  I have busted up nails (not that I am a girly girl like that), got mud in places I didn't think possible, & a greater appreciation for what you do!   Shelly Joss (Winnipeg)                                                               
"I am really satisfied with the services Dana & Colin provided for me. They returned my call promptly & provided an estimate within a few days.  I hired them to do a number of services, some of which were their ideas. I am very pleased with the end results and would recommend their services to anyone who’s interested."  Jeanine Nicol (Garson)
