    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) . . .

What Qualifications Should a General Contractor Hold?

General contractors oversee a wide range of construction and renovation projects, so it’s important to work with someone properly qualified and licensed. While requirements can vary by province or territory, key qualifications typically include:

Provincial or municipal licensing: Many provinces require general contractors to hold a valid license to operate legally. For example, in Ontario, certain construction work requires a licensed contractor registered with the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services.

Trade certifications: Depending on the scope of work, contractors may need certifications in carpentry, electrical, plumbing, or HVAC systems.

Liability insurance: General contractors should carry public liability insurance to protect homeowners and themselves in case of accidents or property damage.

Workers’ compensation coverage: Contractors must have coverage for employees under provincial workers’ compensation programs, such as WSIB in Ontario.

What to Ask Before You Hire a General Contractor Near You

Hiring a general contractor is a big decision. From experience and pricing to project scope and safety, asking the right questions helps you make an informed choice and ensures your renovation or construction project runs smoothly.

Here are some essential questions to ask when choosing a general contractor:

What services do you offer?

Not all contractors cover the same range of work. Some specialise in residential renovations, others in new builds, additions, or commercial projects. Within those categories, services may include kitchen or bathroom remodels, roofing, structural work, basement finishing, or project management of multiple trades.

Are you licensed and insured?

A licensed contractor ensures your project complies with provincial or municipal regulations. They should also carry liability insurance to protect your property and workers’ compensation coverage for any staff or subcontractors. Don’t hesitate to ask about their experience in similar projects.

What’s your pricing structure?

Rates vary depending on project size, complexity, and materials. Contractors may charge a fixed price for a full project, an hourly rate, or a combination.

Be sure to ask:

  • Is there a deposit or upfront fee?
  • Are change orders or additional costs accounted for?
  • Are permits and inspections included in the quote?

How do you handle project changes or issues?

Ask how they communicate about delays, design changes, or unforeseen problems. A clear process ensures you’re kept informed and decisions are made collaboratively.

FAQs: Your Questions About General Contractors Answered

Do general contractors provide design advice?

Many contractors can offer guidance on layouts, materials, and finishes. Some even work with interior designers or architects for larger projects.

How long does a typical renovation take?

Timing varies based on project size and complexity. A kitchen remodel might take 4–8 weeks, while a full home renovation could take 3–6 months.

Can I get a trial or phased work?

Some contractors allow phased projects or smaller pilot jobs, especially if you’re testing their work quality or managing budget constraints.

How do I know if permits are needed?

Contractors should advise on municipal permits required for construction, additions, or structural changes and handle submission if included in their services.
