Land Con Ltd reviews (124)

Our contract was with Ofer (one of the partners) , and it was a great work experience! They started on time, completed within 3 days working extended shifts. At each stage of the work, Ofer was showing up personally at the site, fully controling the job done by the workers, and also taking into consideration all our comments. There was no single feedback question that remained unanswered. And there was a good cleanup of the site done after finishing work So, overall very smooth and pleasant experience (which is kind of rare case in construction business). We are happy to recommend LandCon to anyone .

We were very happy with the expertise and work of Land-Con Ltd. The curb appeal of our home has improved tremendously. Land-Con Ltd. helped us plan for a landscaping project within our budget. We have called Land-Con back to help us plan our backyard landscaping project. Overall, we have been very satisfied with the work and professionalism of Land-Con Ltd.

We had our front porch and adjoining walkway done by Land-Con and are very pleased with the result. Although this was a relatively small job we were treated as a valued customer. Work was done as scheduled, workers were all introduced and courteous, area was well cleaned after completion, and looked great. The only complaint is that I wish they hadn't used our lawn as a cutting surface for the stones which killed off a large patch of grass.

We had a small front entrance redone this past May using a Techo-bloc product. After getting several quotes over the past year, we settled on Land-con because they were in line with other quotes, had a good portfolio, offered up their certificates and seemed professional. They started the job a couple of weeks early, which was a bonus, and desgined a nice layout. There were several small issuses with the installation that had to be corrected. Unfortunately, the sand used to fill the joints never set up properly. Offer came by in mid July to assess the problem, and at that time told us their company no longer used the sand product used on our entrance because it didn't work. That same day, Offer topped up the joints with a different sand product. This too didn't set up properly. Offer came around again close to late August and this time power sprayed what he could out of the joints and refilled again. This too has never set up properly in many places, and we continue to see it crumble and wash aways with each rainfall and each time the front is sprayed down. It has never hardened and we can literally scoop the sand from the joints as it resembles beach sand. We were sweeping dirt off the front walk this week, and could sweep the sand right out of the joints. We contacted Offer and Jeremy in October and let them know there was still a probem. I was told then by Offer, that he would confer with Techobloc, and his partner Jeremy. We have not heard from the company since, despite two follow up emails. We can't say this is professional, or follows their own warranty they gave us at the end of their job. Most likely in the spring, we will have another company come in and try and fix the problem. We won't use this company again, and won't be referring them.

I had 12 landscaping companies come to my house to quote on a relatively decent sized project. Of the 12, not one company was professional enough to follow-up with me and / or provide an actual quote. I then saw the Land-Con team completing some work at the building I work in, and I asked if I could speak to someone about a residential job. The employee immediately introduced me to both owners, who happened to be on site, and we arranged to have their planner come to my house. The planner, Cristel, showed up, on time, and even better, provided me with drawings and a quote within days of her visit. The price was certainly in line with other people in the neighbourhood, who have completed similar work, and the bonus was to have an amazing planner, Cristel, helps us during every step of the work. The workers arrived on the pre-arranged day, and despite working on a residentail project, they were all professionally attired, with the appropriate safety equipment. They worked quickly, efficiently, safely, and always tidied up after themselves. The few minor...and I stress, minor deficiencies were taken care of quickly. Everyone, who has seen the work, thinks that they did an amazing jhob, and added value to our property. With a bit of luck, we will have enough money, next year, to work on the backyard :-) Thanks to Offer, Jeremy, Cristel, and the rest of the Land-Con team.

We had Land Con come in to do both front and rear yard work. Over all we are very pleased with the company and the work done by the crew. Christel was great at working through and creating the design for us. Both Christel and Jeremy were easy to talk too they listened and built us a fantastic patio. Yes there were some minor fixes and adjustments but Jeremy or Ofer were quick to resolve. My only issue is same as the other complaint about sub contracting work. The building of the Pergola took far too long for what needed to be built. The individual completing the work showed up for a couple hrs in the evening or a few hrs on Sat. so obviously he had other work getting more attention then mine. In the end I would recommend them for the great design work and excellent stone work but be careful if they are sub contracting work in my case wood work.

This review will be part one, as I am unsure of when the job will be completed. I was initially satisfied with the service Land-Con provided. Of the 16 quotes I got for my project, only Land-Con and one other company were prepared to do a thorough job. Christel was very professional, had some good ideas and communicated the process to me very well. The work was started two weeks early, which I thought was a bonus. The three day project as I was quoted, began on July 4th. The crew worked very hard the first two days to get the job done. There were some minor imperfections as can be expected, but overall the quality of the stone work was very good, and many neighbours complimented us on how good it looked. However, on the second day of the job, I learned my driveway would not be completed on the third day. Land-Con does not do asphalt work themselves. It is contracted out to a third party vendor. Jeremy told me the asphalt guy would be out on Thursday to see how much they needed, more gravel would be put down and then the asphalt would be put down the following week. I was not too happy about this as it had not be communicated to me at all that there could /would be delays with the completion of the job. I emailed Jeremy on Thursday, July 7 for an update but got no response. On Friday July 8, I had not heard from Land-Con or an asphalt guy, so I phoned Jeremy who said the asphalt guy had called him and they would be out next week to put more gravel down, and then another week or two after that the asphalt could be put down. He then told me this was better for my investment, ensuring the driveway was done properly. Which made me wonder, if they had've been on time and done the driveway on the third day as expected, would that have meant it was not done properly? I asked Jeremy to try and find another asphalt company or at least get back to me with a time line of when the asphalt guys would be out to lay more gravel and then the completion of the project. By Wednesday, July 13th I had not heard back from Jeremy, so I called him and he still had no firm dates on anything, and no other paving company was available to do the job. I was now told that the paving crews have to be doing an "area" and won't come out for just one house. Again I told Jeremy I was not happy, and mostly because none of this was communicated to me until after the contract was signed and the work started. He told me I was the first customer in 13 years who was unhappy with having to wait. My primary unhappiness stems for the lack of communication, not with having to wait. So, now I am stuck waiting for who knows how long. We are happy with our patio and new walkways. Here are some tips to learn from what happened to me. When they quote you a three day job, ask them for the DATES they will start and be finished by. Because a three day job doesn't specify the actual dates. I'm still waiting for the third day to come. If you are in Milton, and in a newer subdivision with little topsoil, skip having Land-Con put down sod. Ask them for as much soil as they can give you and plant grass seed instead. You can't throw sod down on top of the Milton earth and expect grass to grow. Ask them if they will do all of the work themselves, or if they contract out any portion. If they contract out, you'll have something to think about. Keep in mind that the contracts are worded such that you pay for the majority of the work before it's completed. They determine if a"substantial" amount of the work has been completed. And finally, you are going to have to keep on top of them with regular phone calls. Christel is great, always returning emails and phone calls, so you won't have a problem with her. When the job is completed I'll submit my final review.... Update The job was completed by King York Paving, the subcontractor for the driveway. Although I was initially concernced about them based on the reviews on this website, they seemed to have done a very good job. They compacted the gravel very well, seeing as how it wouldn't be settling for a few weeks like on other jobs. The crew arrived on Friday afternoon and was done in about 1.5 hours. The driveway looks very good, and the crew did not leave a mess at all. After my previous comments regarding the lack of communication on behalf of Land-Con, they did redeem themselves by keeping me up to date as to what was happening with the driveway as the job neared. This was again led by Christel, and Ofer. When they thought there might be delays due to the heat and limited work hours, they let me know what was going on and when I could expect the crew to come out. Overall I am satisfied with the work done by Land-Con. The crew worked very hard on my patio and walkways, and I think this was based on the work ethic illustrated by Jeremy on the job site. The issues of communication were resolved to my satisfaction.

We approached Land-Con and a few other landscaping companies at a home & garden show last year with almost no ideas in mind for our backyard landscaping. Not only were we inspired by their booth and samples of previous work, but both Ofer and Jeremy were so easy to talk to. They both were very knowledgable and made such thoughtful recomendations on the spot that we got them to come to our house and quote us. Their prices were very competitive too. They got the job done pretty much as planned, and we couldn't be happier. The whole process was so smooth and now we finally have our backyard oasis and we love it!

Land-Con's hands-on professional work approach made us feel confident our landscape decision including the backyard and front of the house would turn out excellent. Our home looks peaceful and welcoming on the outside. It was great to work with your team and thanks for a job well done!

Excellent experience from start to finish. Ofer and Jeremy were very helpfull in providing us with creative ideas that would best suit our backyard. They gave us a great quote and surpassed all of our expectations in terms of quality and timeliness of completion.
