About Us

“We had a walkway and landing done with interlock – absolutely perfect! From watching them work, you can tell they are very professional, courteous, and meticulous in their projects. Outstanding in all respects. We highly recommend Higher Ground Ottawa!”

“Higher Ground Ottawa built a two-tiered stained deck with privacy screens, as well as a large screened-in wooden gazebo for us. The quality of workmanship is amazing and we could not be happier. Kris and his crew were on time, courteous, and hard-working, and left the job site clean at the end of each workday. The project was completed in a very timely manner. It was a pleasure in all aspects.”

“I highly recommend Higher Ground Ottawa. Kris, Chris, and their crews were great to work with to complete a major upgrade to our outdoor living spaces. Their communication and quality of work made designing and constructing our exterior upgrades a great experience. They built walkways, a driveway, a patio, landscaping, a new deck, and a spectacular screen room.

We could not be more pleased with the outcome. We were never left wondering if they were going to show up. They promptly provided feedback for any inquiries and confirmed all designs and any updates. Best of all they completed all the contracted work per schedule and budget with the highest quality and professionalism.”

“In the spring of 2021, when it was almost impossible to get a call back from landscaping companies, we found Higher Ground Ottawa. Chris and Kris promptly answered our call and came to meet us and discuss our projects. We were so impressed by their professionalism and friendly personalities that we immediately felt trust in their word.

The crew showed up this week as promised and worked through cold and rain until our project was complete. They transformed the front of our house and did exactly as was promised in our initial quote. More than that, we noticed that the guys cleaned up the site after finishing the day and were very respectful of our property. Chris and Kevin involved us in every decision and were meticulous in their work — obviously took pride in what they created.

We are more than happy and would be delighted to recommend Higher Ground to anyone looking for superior quality workmanship and just a great experience. Thanks so much to Eric and Erik for your hard work and determination to finish the job!”

We recently had some landscaping and a deck done with Higher Ground Ottawa. We are super happy and impressed with their work. They were professional, easy to work with, and kept a very tidy work site. Our backyard now looks amazing. Highly recommend them for certain!

“The Higher Ground crew that did the work were obviously professionals, they were polite, cleaned up as they went along, protected our property from being damaged, and cared that everything was done properly. Higher Ground Ottawa exceeded our expectations and we would like to thank Chris, Kevin, and the two Erics for a job well done from start to finish.”

They call themselves ‘Landscaping Professionals’. Now that’s an understatement. They are far more than just ‘professional’. As owners of several homes, we have worked with many contractors and trades-people over the years and I can tell you, Kevin and Chris are far more than just ‘professional’. Though they were very polite, courteous and likable, it’s not so much what they said as what they did that made all the difference. Would we use Higher Ground again? We most certainly will. We’re so glad to have found these guys.

I asked Kevin and Chris to quote on a number of spring clean-up and repair jobs in my yard.  I was pleasantly surprised by how affordable it was and very impressed with the timeliness and quality of the work.  Kevin and Chris were very professional, from our original meeting right through to follow-up after the work was complete, treating my yard and my schedule with respect and courtesy.  My neighbours have all commented on how nice my yard looks this spring.  I would strongly recommend Higher Ground for your yard projects, big and small.

When I decided to add an interlock walkway and an area to park another vehicle, I contacted Higher Ground Ottawa.  Kevin Sunstrum responded promptly with some great ideas for the design along with a very reasonable quote.  Kevin was very knowledgeable and helpful when it came to the design, explaining the different types of stone that would be required and why, while also integrating my flower bed into the new walkway. When I think of Higher Ground Ottawa, I think of: quality workmanship, friendly service, and professionalism. I would highly recommend Higher Ground Ottawa and will definitely use them in the future!
