    Extensive landscaping and stonework project

    We contacted Chris and a couple of other companies to get quotes for a major landscaping project in our home. We live in Toronto's west end on a long, deep, protected ravine lot, which had become overgrown and virtually unusable due to neglect. We had a vision to retain its beauty while making it more functional for a young family; a flagstone terrace, and below that, a leveled grassy area before the yard descended into the ravine. Chris' quote was not the cheapest, but his ongoing communication around the project and I sensed from his experience and his willingness to listen to our vision that he understood we weren't looking for a cookie-cutter solution. His team was on time and on site for three weeks in November 2012 to complete the work, including some days where the weather was inclement enough that I never expected them to be there. Small enhancements to the project were added as we went, and they happily accommodated, including a couple of small tasks they did pro bono (running electrical wire and a downspout drainage system beneath the terrace) without any issue. We're thrilled with the result and are looking forward to making full use of the yard when spring comes.

    Backyard patio stone, garden walls, cedar fence and stairs

    Definitely one of the best home improvement contractors we have dealt with. Workmanship and materials were top-notch and the pricing was very fair. Chris and crew responded promptly and worked hard through the job to make sure we were completely happy about everything. They know their stuff and made some great suggestions, but never tried to upsell us on anything. Would definitely use them again.

    flagstone walkway regrade

    The flagstone walkway to our house had sunk in sections and had become quite uneven. Also, a retaining wall around a small garden had shifted, sunk and moved away from the house. Both of these problems pushed the curb along the drive over. Chris arrived when he said to provide an estimate (nice detail). On approval he brought in his crew on the days he said and in three days the walkway, wall and curb were fixed. It looks beautiful now. We're very happy with the work.

    Cedar fence

    This is the second job that Iberia's done at our place. The first was some landscaping/gardens (they were terrific), and we just had them back to install a cedar fence. They did an incredible job. Chris and his workers were kind, hardworking and very professional. The job was finished quickly and on-budget. The fence looks phenomenal and we would recommend them to anyone/everyone.

    Landscaping, redoing front steps & patio

    The work was actually 3-4 projects in one: * Redoing the front steps & patio; * Complete redoing of side walkway; * Regrading 1/2 of the backyard and repositioning patio stones; and * Fixing areas of covering concrete that had deteriorated at the ground level. Options were clearly explained to me. Cost was very reasonable compared to other contractors that I spoke to. We went together and selected the stone to be used for the front steps and patio area. The work, disposal of old material and clean-up was very professionally done. Continual compliments from the neighbours on the improved appearance of my place. Moreover, one neighbour asked if I was fixing up the place with the plan to sell it. No, it was strictly for my own use. In a nutshell, very please with the work done and the whole experience with Iberia. Would definitely contract with them again.

    Re-Grade and Rebuild of Retaining Wall for Basement Walkout

    We needed to have the existing interlock stones in our back yard re-graded away from the house. The grade was sloping towards the house resulting in water pooling in a corner where the retaining wall for our walkout meets the rear wall of the house. In heavy rain, the water was leaking into the basement. Iberia was very quick to respond and Chris was extremely professional in his approach to assessing our issue, proposing a solution and delivering a quote. The work was completed on time and on budget. It looks great but most importantly, the solution worked. Iberia not only addressed the regrading but also treated the connected to the retaining wall with waterproofing membrane to further protect our home from water damage. Great company and I would highly recommend them to others

    Front yard & driveway retaining wall

    Really great to deal with Chris. He was always responsive to emails and quick to deliver quotes. The work took a few days longer than expected but it was well worth it. They did an incredible job (and my neighbours have already asked for a recommendation)! We added a retaining wall to the driveway and front of our lawn and it increased our curb appeal instantly! Very pleased

    Front & Back Walkway with Garden Wall

    Amazing to deal with Chris - very professional, punctual and had great ideas coming into this project. Did a fantastic job and there is a reason why they are holding such a high rating. The crew were nice and the lines of communication were always opened. We did get 3 other quotes and we felt the most comfortable with Chris and his quote was reasonable. Would definitely recommend him to others!

    Re-do interlock sidewalk and build garden walls and steps

    I had trouble getting anyone to even come to my house to do an estimate for such a small job, and the prices I was getting were wildly inflated, for what was to be a 2-1/2 day job. Iberia had done the foundation work for an addition to my home, and my contractor recommended them to do the final landscaping. They were terrific. The estimate was reasonable, they had good ideas about how to solve some of the problems with the landscaping, and they worked very hard in the blistering heat of this summer. I had to be patient and wait until they could schedule in the work, but they came as promised and did a great job. They re-laid my interlock walkway, raised the path so it met the stairs, built small retaining walls for the garden areas. The whole thing looks fabulous. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat.

    Powerwash weeds from interlock (>2500 sq ft), fill with sand, plant cedars, fix shift interlock

    Chris was very efficient and polite from the quote (which was done and emailed as promised) through the follow up after completion. The crew worked hard, were polite and cleaned up after themselves. The quote was not the lowest nor the highest but was good value. Chris was frank about what needed to be done and did not try to "up sell" any services. They were also flexible about doing small small tasks like planting some cedars and trim the flower bed in addition to the main job. I would certainly recommend Chris and Iberia.
