Creative Teamwork

“Since 1993, the Water’s Edge team has maintained my cottage grounds like clock work – every week, all season, year after year. Jacki listens well to my thoughts, then delivers creative designs, new gardens – all with a professional and accommodating team. I’m also delighted to have Jacki’s expertise to develop my new cottage landscape project throughout 2004 and beyond.”
Gary Degroote, Lake Rosseau.

"Jacki's creative plantings and diligent attention have kept our cottage grounds tidy and colourful continuously since 1992. Jacki's professionalism is second to none in Muskoka, and her network of top notch trades people has brought a seamless range of services we know we can trust."
Gordon & Debbie Shipp, Lake Joseph

“Our challenge was to create a user-friendly waterfront area without destroying the natural Muskoka terrain. Water’s Edge developed a creative yet practical concept, that worked within our budget. Close collaboration throughout the process provided the exciting results we hoped to achieve. As always Jacki, you and your team strive to be the best!
Allan and Marg Skinner, Lake Muskoka

"2003 was a hectic year in completing our building project on Acton Island. Jacki was the essential resource in developing a creative plan for the soft and hard landscaping to complement our home design and the site characteristics. The plan was executed very professionally with Muskoka friendly plantings and great attention to detail.
We look forward to Jacki and her staff's continued involvement in looking after our property."
