    WELCOME to the ALL-PRO LANDSCAPING & CARPENTRY LTD. profile page on HomeStars! Thank you for taking the time to visit! We also invite you to visit our PHOTOS galleries where you can "stroll through" more than 300 images organized into 24 ALL-PRO LANDSCAPING PROJECT TOURS. In the meantime, here's a little bit about our history and the kind of work we do . . . ........... ........... CORE SERVICE AREA . . . With our office in Highland Creek near the Scarborough-Pickering border, and our 3-acre staging yard situated in north Ajax, we concentrate on projects located in: > PICKERING-AJAX-WHITBY, and > WEST ROUGE, PORT UNION, HIGHLAND CREEK, ROUGE HILL, GUILDWOOD, THE BLUFFS and (east/southeast neighbourhoods of Scarborough), > SOUTH-EAST MARKHAM. Please click on the thumbnail image of ALL-PRO Landscaping's CORE SERVICE AREA MAP in the PHOTOS section of this page. ........... ........... OVER THE PAST 40 YEARS . . . Over the past 40 years, ALL-PRO Landscaping & Carpentry Ltd. has been designing and constructing beautiful, functional custom landscapes for more than a thousand clients who have entrusted Angelo Tersigni and his landscape construction team with their outdoor living spaces and home curb appeal. ........... ........... ABOUT US . . . FOUNDED IN 1985 BY NICOLA TERSIGNI AND 21-YEAR-OLD SON ANGELO, ALL-PRO Landscaping & Carpentry Ltd. specializes in working with clients to enhance the beauty and functionality of the landscape elements that complement and add to the enjoyment of their homes. >> As sole owner and operator for the past 38 years, Angelo continues to honour the family values of integrity, diligence and quality that are at the very heart of ALL-PRO Landscaping & Carpentry Ltd.; the company he founded with his father 40 years ago. Those values have stood the test of time and continue to translate into satisfied clients. And we are honoured that ALL-PRO is now being called upon by the next generation of our client families to help them with their projects. Angelo personally oversees each project from start to finish. The majority of the projects we complete each year originate from: 1) previous clients who come back to us with ideas for new projects, and 2) homeowners referred directly to us by our clients (this doesn’t include HomeStars leads). On average, ALL-PRO Landscaping has the capacity to commit to approximately 15 to 30 CLIENT PROJECTS EACH YEAR (depending on the scope of the projects). ........... ........... A FEW NOTES ABOUT QUOTATIONS . . . Angelo personally handles quoting and sales. Hours of work are invested in a typical quotation. Rather than providing homeowners with a bulk dollar amount for the entire project, Angelo goes the extra mile by presenting a detailed, typed "contract specification sheet" that breaks the entire project into individual components that specify the materials/dimensions and pricing per component. The quote also specifies applicable warranty, HST and payment terms. Ultimately, for homeowners who choose to entrust their project to ALL-PRO Landscaping & Carpentry, this quotation document evolves into the signed client contract, usually after a number of refinements to align more closely with the client's aesthetic and budget. > At times during the season, Angelo may temporarily suspend quoting so that he can focus exclusively on current projects and on quotations already in hand. In this scenario, our office manager invites homeowners to circle back to us at a later date if they are unable to find another contractor with whom they wish to proceed. She also compiles a waiting list of those homeowners who wish to meet with Angelo when he begins quoting again. ........... ........... IS ALL-PRO LANDSCAPING A GOOD FIT FOR YOUR PROJECT? During the peak spring/summer period, we receive approximately 20 to 30 quotation requests PER WEEK, sometimes more. Many of these we need to decline for a variety of reasons. For example, the project site is outside our core service area, or our schedule is already booked during the homeowners’ desired completion timeframe, or the project is not the kind of work we do. When non-client homeowners reach out to ALL-PRO Landscaping to request a quotation, we are very grateful. We also respect their time and want to ensure that we are a good fit for their projects. So our office manager will ask a few questions before including their information on Angelo’s quotation request call-back spreadsheet . . . . Q1. WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED? Each year, we must decline many quotation requests from homeowners located outside our service area. Please refer to the “CORE SERVICE AREA” note, above. . Q2. DO YOU HAVE A PROJECT COMPLETION DEADLINE THAT YOU NEED TO MEET? Some homeowners are working towards a particular project completion deadline such as the date of a backyard wedding or the arrival of visitors from overseas. > This is important for us to know up front, because the homeowner's desired time frame may no longer be available on our schedule. . Q3. HOW MANY QUOTATIONS ARE YOU OBTAINING? Conventional wisdom usually concurs that obtaining two or three quotations is prudent for homeowners who do not yet have an established relationship with a trusted contractor. We respectfully decline to meet with homeowners who are obtaining more than three quotations. . Q4. WHAT KIND OF WORK WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE DONE? We focus on "HARDSCAPE" construction projects, such as: => patios, walkways, steps, porches, garden walls, retaining walls, driveway borders/driveways constructed with precast concrete products and natural stone products. => decks constructed with pressure-treated, cedar and composite decking products. For hardscape projects, we can also incorporate the following: => sod, mulch, triplemix, riverstone, ornamental rockery. => synthetic grass (usually Rymar Durablade 95 S-Shaped Synthetic Grass). => fence and gate structures, constructed with with cedar, pressure-treated or composite materials, as well as custom-ordered ornamental iron fencing from Medallion Fence. We do NOT install the following: => Asphalt. We refer our clients to two trusted companies. => Stamped/patterned concrete. => Extensive plantings. While we can certainly do some planting of trees and shrubs as part of our hardscape projects, we refer our clients to trusted horticultural technician-designers for extensive garden design. . Q5. WHAT IS THE SCOPE OF YOUR PROJECT? The HomeStars company PROFILE format includes a field for “PROJECT MINIMUM”. > For prospective clients, we have set $5,000 as the minimum. > For our previous clients, of course we are glad to come back to help with any landscape construction job, no matter how small. > We appreciate that some homeowners may be unable to gauge whether or not their project would be above the $5,000 minimum threshold. Our office manager might be able to help with this when you describe the kind of work you would like to have done. ........... ........... MEETING WITH ANGELO . . . Angelo's QUOTATION REQUEST CALL-BACK LIST is updated by the office manager. On that spreadsheet, each request she enters is tracked by initial date of inquiry. > CALL-BACK TIMEFRAME: During the construction season, Angelo strives to touch base with homeowners within two weeks of the date of their initial inquiry logged on the Quotation Request List (unless he had already placed a temporary hold on quoting before the inquiry was received). > MEETING TIMEFRAME: During the construction season, Angelo does his best to integrate quotation meetings into his existing project work schedule. Client work always takes priority for him — something which prospective clients are sure to appreciate. During the offseason from approx. December through March, Angelo does quite a bit of quoting for the upcoming season, weather permitting. During the peak season, Angelo combines jobsite work with sales, scheduling, purchasing, transportation, HR, client relations and other aspects of the business. He is at the jobsites daily. Multiple projects are usually under way. Clients deal with Angelo directly on anything pertaining to their projects. He manages the project schedule, calculates and places the orders for project materials and determines crew member assignments each day in consultation with his onsite Team leader, Dan. His Class AR driver's licence also enables him to minimize production disruptions by serving as the supply lifeline for the jobsites: delivering materials from manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers (paving stones, flagstone, wall systems, steps, boulders, rockery, gravel, screenings, lumber, fencing, topsoil, triplemix, sod, etc.), transporting equipment and materials between jobsites and ALL-PRO’s staging yard in north Ajax, and hauling project debris to transfer stations, for example. He integrates quotations into this schedule. ............ ............ LANDSCAPE ONTARIO HORTICULTURAL TRADES ASSOCIATION (LO) / CANADIAN NURSERY LANDSCAPE ASSOCIATION (CNLA) . . . ALL-PRO Landscaping & Carpentry Ltd. is a proud member of Landscape Ontario and the CNLA. We can be found on the Landscape Ontario web site by typing "Landscape Ontario ALL-PRO Landscaping" into your search browser.

What types of services are offered by local paving companies in Whitby?

Whitby covers a range of property types, from established neighbourhoods near the downtown core to newer subdivisions in the north end, plus commercial and industrial areas around the Whitby GO station corridor. That spread means paving needs differ quite a bit depending on where you are and what you're working with. Whether you're dealing with a cracked driveway in Port Whitby or a worn lot near the Thickson Road industrial area, there are paving contractors in Whitby set up for the job.

Here are some frequently requested paving services in Whitby:

  • Asphalt driveway paving: laying a new asphalt surface or replacing an old one, including grading and base preparation.
  • Asphalt repair and patching: addressing cracks, low spots, and deteriorating sections to extend the life of an existing driveway.
  • Interlock and asphalt combinations: pairing asphalt with interlocking borders or aprons, which is common in Whitby's newer subdivisions where curb appeal matters alongside function.
  • Sealcoating: applying a protective layer over asphalt to slow oxidation and water damage, a practical maintenance step given Whitby's freeze-thaw cycles.

It only takes a few clicks to connect with paving companies in Whitby. You can also browse our directory of paving contractors near you and connect with a contractor that looks like the right fit for your project. If your paving project is part of a larger project for your outdoor space, you can also find landscaping companies near you on HomeStars.

What makes hiring paving companies in Whitby unique?

Whitby has developed enough to have established infrastructure needing upkeep, but it’s still expanding in ways that bring new paving demand alongside it. Residential, commercial, and municipal work all carry different requirements, and local considerations around drainage, permits, and site access can factor in depending on the scope. It's worth knowing what shapes the work here before you start reaching out to contractors.

Here are a few things that make working with paving companies in Whitby different:

  • Ongoing residential expansion: Whitby's north end continues to grow, which means contractors regularly work around active construction zones, phased lot access, and coordination with other trades on newer streets.
  • Freeze-thaw wear: Durham Region winters put real stress on asphalt, and the repeated freeze-thaw cycles Whitby sees each year mean base preparation and drainage grading are not optional extras.
  • Proximity to the lake: Properties closer to Lake Ontario and the Port Whitby area deal with higher moisture exposure, which can affect how quickly pavement degrades and what surface treatments hold up best.

Find paving companies in Whitby with HomeStars

Finding a paving contractor in Whitby with the right experience and an opening in their schedule isn't always straightforward. HomeStars takes some of that legwork out by connecting you with local paving companies that are available and eager to work.

Getting started is easy:

  1. Start by posting your project on HomeStars. Provide a clear description of your paving needs and, if possible, include photos to get precise quotes.
  2. Receive interest from available pros, review work history, and read customer feedback for paving companies in Whitby.
  3. Connect with paving companies in Whitby to discuss your project, request and compare quotes, and ask any questions.
  4. Hire the right pro to get the job done and leave a review based on your experience. Our review system ensures that pros are rewarded for good work and held accountable for any problems.

All Whitby paving companies who register with our platform undergo verification, including checks of ID and company details, so you can hire with confidence.

What are the average costs of Whitby paving companies?

Paving contractor costs in Whitby depend on what you're having done, the materials involved, and how much site prep is needed. Most residential work is priced per square foot, though smaller repair jobs may be quoted hourly, typically in the $50 to $150 range.

Here are some typical costs for common paving services in Whitby:

  • Asphalt driveway costs: installation and resurfacing generally run $4 to $8 per square foot, with most residential projects totalling between $2,500 and $6,000.
  • Concrete driveway costs: typically around $9 to $15 per square foot, with decorative finishes like stamped or exposed aggregate pushing costs to the $20 to $45+ range.
  • Asphalt repair and patching: smaller repairs are around $50 to $150 per hour, while larger damaged sections may shift to per-square-foot pricing in the $3 to $7 range.
  • Interlock and asphalt combinations: generally quoted on a per-project basis after a site assessment.
  • Sealcoating: generally $300 to $700 per square foot

Heated driveways are not common, but if you're already doing a full install, it's worth considering. A heating system embedded in the surface melts snow and ice on contact, which is a practical consideration in Whitby given the lake-effect freezing rain the area sees and the sloped lots that are common in the north-end subdivisions. You can check out our guide to heated driveway costs.

HomeStars Tip: We suggest that you clarify with your Whitby paving contractor what’s included in their estimate, and that you request everything be detailed in a written quote. This supports transparency and avoids misunderstandings.

What to ask a Whitby paving company before hiring?

There are a few questions that you can ask Whitby paving companies to check that they’re the right fit for your project.

The following questions can help you feel out their approach and experience and ultimately decide if they’re a good match:

Do you have a city licence, liability insurance, and WSIB coverage, and will you handle any required permits?

Confirm your contractor carries liability insurance and is registered with WSIB before any work begins. If your project involves widening the driveway or cutting the curb, you will need a curb cut permit through the Town of Whitby, and any work within the municipal right-of-way requires a Road Occupancy Permit from the Town of Whitby. Your contractor should be handling those applications on your behalf.

What is the estimated timeline for my project?

A standard asphalt driveway typically takes two to three days from base prep to finished surface, with the driveway usable within 24 to 48 hours of completion. Full curing takes several weeks. Interlock and concrete jobs generally run longer. Ask your contractor for a realistic schedule before work starts.

How long have you been working in Whitby?

Contractors who regularly work in Whitby will be familiar with local permit requirements, how the curb cut process works through the municipality, and how Durham Region's freeze-thaw conditions should factor into base preparation. Check their HomeStars profile for reviews and completed projects from Whitby customers.

What paving material do you recommend for my project, and why?

Asphalt is the most common choice for Whitby driveways, but concrete or interlock may be worth considering depending on your property and budget. A contractor worth hiring will walk you through the practical trade-offs rather than steer you toward whatever is easiest for them.

What should I know about grading and drainage before paving a driveway in Whitby?

Whitby's mix of older established lots and newer subdivisions that are still settling means grading and drainage can vary quite a bit from one property to the next. Poor drainage is one of the main reasons asphalt deteriorates prematurely, so it's worth having your contractor assess the slope and water flow before work starts. In some cases, minor grading adjustments or a drainage solution will be recommended as part of the job rather than an afterthought.

What experience do you have working on properties near Lake Ontario?

If you live in the south end of Whitby, particularly near Port Whitby, these properties tend to see higher moisture exposure and more frequent freezing rain events. This can accelerate surface wear compared to inland properties. Ask your contractor whether a specific asphalt mix or sealcoating schedule makes sense given your location.

FAQ: Your questions about paving companies in Whitby answered

Do paving companies in Whitby offer warranties on their work?

Warranties are common but not standardized, so it's worth pinning down the details before you commit. Ask whether coverage applies to both the surface and the base, since some contractors only warranty the top layer. A year is typical for workmanship, though some will go longer. If anything goes wrong after the job, HomeStars reviews can tell you a lot about how a contractor actually handles it.

How do paving companies in Whitby handle environmental regulations?

Provincial rules cover how contractors are expected to manage asphalt removal, equipment runoff, and dust during active work. If your project involves tearing out a significant amount of existing material, it's a fair question to ask how waste will be handled and removed from the site before the crew starts.

Do Whitby paving companies clean up after the job?

Not every contractor treats site cleanup the same way, so get clarity on this before signing anything. Ask whether hauling away old material, clearing debris, and tidying the surrounding area is included in the price or billed as an add-on. Agree on the expected condition of your property at completion and make sure it's reflected in the quote.

Can Durham Region's clay soil affect my paving project?

Much of Whitby sits on clay-heavy soil, which expands when wet and contracts when dry. This movement puts more stress on a driveway base than sandier soil would, and it's one of the reasons proper base depth and compaction matter more here than in some other parts of Ontario. If a contractor is quoting you a base that seems thin, it's worth asking whether they've accounted for local soil conditions.

What happens to my driveway if a large tree is nearby?

Whitby's older neighbourhoods in particular have mature tree canopies, and root systems can work their way under a driveway over time, causing lifting and cracking. Before paving, ask your contractor to assess whether any nearby roots are close enough to cause problems. In some cases, a root barrier is worth factoring into the project, and it's a lot cheaper to address before the asphalt goes down than after.

How do I know if a paving company in Whitby is legitimate?

Checking a contractor's HomeStars profile is a practical starting point. Verified reviews and a history of completed work in the area all give you something concrete to evaluate before you commit. Be cautious of door-to-door quotes, unusually low bids, or contractors who ask for full payment upfront, as these are common red flags in the paving industry. If you’re ready to get started, post your project on HomeStars and check the profiles of pros who reach out.
