About Joanne

I started out just like you – with a landscape full of challenges.

But as I worked through them, I realized I had a passion for gardening and for helping others.

Hi, I’m Joanne Shaw, owner of Down2Earth Landscapes Inc.

Since graduating from Ryerson University with a certificate in Landscape Design, I have spent the past 15 years designing landscapes in Durham Region, for my own clientele, established local nurseries and trusted contractors.

I am passionate about creating landscapes and outdoor living spaces for real people with busy lives. At Down2Earth Landscape Design, I focus on helping you design a beautiful, functional outdoor space, one that reflects your personality and helps create maximum curb appeal to increase the value of your home.

Are you ready to spend less time working on your outdoor living space and more time enjoying it?  Check out my services and let’s work together to make this the year. I look forward to working with you!
