Fairytale Landscaping and Drainage - Nanaimo, British Columbia

“Fairytale Landscaping turned my Reno disaster into a dream front porch.”
I recently hired Fairytale Landscaping to repair and rebuild my front porch after a major Reno disaster, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their work.
About eight years ago, another company, based in Victoria, installed my cement patio and front entry stairs. Unfortunately, their work failed badly—within a few years the concrete cracked, the slab sank about six inches, and the stair literally dropped away from the entry. When I reached out to this company for help, they told me they no longer service Nanaimo, leaving me stranded with an unsafe, crumbling front porch.
That’s when Fairytale Landscaping came to the rescue. From the very beginning, the owner took the time to carefully assess the situation and explain what needed to be done to make the area structurally sound and safe again. Once demolition began, we discovered the original job hadn’t been built to code at all—styrofoam used under the stairs, missing rebar, soil instead of proper road base, and no compaction. To make matters worse, the sinking slab had caused dry rot to the house itself, which also needed repair.
Although this was devastating to discover (after spending thousands on the first job), Fairytale handled everything with professionalism, skill, and care. They rebuilt the porch correctly, repaired the underlying damage, and transformed the front of my home into a space that is not only safe and solid but also beautiful.
I truly felt taken care of throughout the process—the team was hardworking, efficient, and detail-oriented, and I always knew I was in good hands. I finally have the front porch I hoped for from the start, and I absolutely love it.
I will definitely be working with Fairytale Landscaping again on future projects, and I highly recommend them to anyone seeking quality craftsmanship and a company that truly stands behind its work.

Clayton and Carlos came and help myself and my company with a special concrete issue and he was there on time and did a great job and I will and do recommend him to my customers.
Clayton is one of those people who thinks outside the box.

Two absolute powerhouses came by, as punctually as could be, and transformed two overgrown back yards, and a massive front area in less than a day. I could not have, at my most peak fitness, have done what they managed if I had an entire week.

Professional. friendly, and understanding. I can't imagine two better landscapers for any job here on the island.

Clayton did an amazing job bringing my very neglected trees and shrubs back to a reasonable size. Word of mouth through neighbors brought Fairytale my way and I didn't have to wait for weeks. Very happy with result and price. Great customer service as well.

Clayton and his crew are the best! They took our yard from an overgrown mess to a manicured yard in a single day. Unbelievable work ethic and very fair pricing. Will certainly use Fairytale landscaping for all of our yard maintenance needs in the future.

We highly recommend FAIRYTALE LANDSCAPING! Clay, Bruce, and Carlos did a tremendous job clearing 20 years of overgrowth, and trimming, planting, weeding, and lawn care on our steep 1/3 acre property. They were always on time, cheerful, and very knowledgeable. Thank you, and we will call again! Ian & Ingrid

We appreciate everything Clayton has done for us. He helped us move a huge boulder. He also, easily, dug up and replanted treasured trees and flowers for us.
We needed 9ft. Clearance for our R.V.. and our treasured flowers and trees were in the way; however, Clayton came to our rescue. He was able to keep our plants alive for us. We will definitely call Clayton for his landscaping expertise again.
Lastly, he is kind and caring and easy to talk to. We are happy customers 😃
THANK YOU CLAYTON!!
