All Pro Landscaping & Carpentry Ltd. reviews (222)

Dear Kevin and Ann! I have to begin my response to your kind comments with a “WOW right back at you!” Your thoughtfulness was a definite WOW and greatly appreciated during the heatwave we endured throughout your project: cookies, ice cream bars and a cooler stocked with a bottomless supply of water and soft drinks! Thank you! Also, many thanks for sharing your experiences with ALL-PRO's planning and construction process. As I’ve mentioned in previous HomeStars review responses, we are sensitive to the fact that we are working in our clients’ environments, and do our best to minimize disruption as much as possible. Over 30 years of working with more than a thousand clients, I've also made client communication a priority -- from project specifications and modifications, to scheduling and progress. My father and I founded this company, so I take a great deal of pride in honouring his memory with honesty, integrity and quality craftsmanship. I look forward to working with you on the other landscape construction projects you have planned for your home. Bye for now, Angelo

Hi Brent. It is always a pleasure to work with you and Lyne. I greatly appreciate your review of our most recent project within the context of the other projects we completed for you in 2012 and 2013. Since your entire property is now landscaped, it may be quite some time before we see you again. There is nothing left to do, but for you to enjoy! Many thanks! Angelo

Dear Tammy. Many thanks for your generous recommendation. Your project posed some challenges in terms of site access, so I am particularly glad that the construction progressed so smoothly. Your comments about the professionalism of the ALL-PRO Landscaping team mean a great deal to us. We are sensitive to the fact that we are working in our clients’ environments, and do our best to minimize disruption as much as possible – we’re working on your “home turf” after all! I am so happy that you and Andrew are enjoying your new backyard. All the best, Angelo

Hello Amy. Many thanks for your kind words regarding the professionalism of the ALL-PRO Landscaping team. Over the two-week duration of the project, you certainly had many opportunities to observe the team in action. Yes, yours was truly a 360-degree transformation encircling your home, literally leaving no stone unturned. The crew really appreciated the delicious barbecue lunch you and Steve prepared for us on the Saturday that we completed your project – the first of many, many wonderful backyard barbecues that you will be hosting in your beautiful new outdoor entertaining space! All the best, Angelo

It`s great to hear that you and Melissa are enjoying the revitalized outdoor space that we created for you in 2015. Thanks so much for sharing your review of the experience. For each of my 1000-plus client projects over the past 30 years, I`ve done my best to keep clients well informed throughout the entire process. I consider this to be vitally important to the success of each project we undertake. Also, many thanks for recommending ALL-PRO Landscaping to your neighbours down the street whose project we completed this past week. All the best, Angelo

Hi Dave. Thank you for this recommendation! Given the urgency of your project, I am relieved that we were able to find a few days of good weather to complete the work at the end of March, just before the wave of freezing rain, snow and subzero temperatures put a halt on construction. Good landscape design is a careful balancing act: functionality, safety, structural integrity, budget and esthetics all contribute toward a successful design solution. It’s great to hear that we met all of your expectations. All the best, Angelo

Thank you, Nick, for taking the time to review our work for you last August. Cladding a builders plain concrete front porch and door threshold with beautiful square-cut flagstone certainly “makes a dramatic entrance” for any home. But the dark-toned flagstone (chosen to match your dark grey double front doors) really “pops” against the neutral grey tone of the steps and walkway pavers. And the two driveway borders, also constructed with interlock pavers, draw the design out to the street for maximum curb appeal. I appreciate your comments about my quoting process. And, perhaps, for the benefit of HomeStars readers, I should take a moment to elaborate on this. I invest hours of work in a typical quotation. This ensures that homeowners understand exactly what they would be getting. Starting with a hand-rendered scale drawing of the proposed project design footprint for my own use, I can then calculate accurate pricing. Rather than providing homeowners with a simple estimate for the entire project, I go the extra mile by presenting a detailed, typed (usually multi-page) "Contract Specification Sheet" that breaks the entire project into individual components—each one defined by price, material specifications and dimensions. It also includes warranty, HST, payment terms and approximate start date range. Ultimately, this same document becomes the signed client contract. In some cases, of course, some refinements to material selection and design occur before the document is signed by both the client and me. Again, thank you, Nick, for mentioning that the quote you received matched the work completed and the amount that you paid. All the best, Angelo

I am very grateful for your testimonial regarding our design solution for the curb appeal of your front walkway and garden walls. And, while not particularly glamorous, the backyard grading, drainage and sod installation was absolutely vital for peace of mind during rainfall. Thank you for mentioning the work we did for your in-laws. It really does seem like yesterday. I am honoured to be called upon by the next generation of client families. We look forward to putting the finishing touches on the transformation of your front yard this spring. Bye for now, Angelo

Thank you, Mike and Sara, for your generous review of the work we did for you in 2014. Our goal for each ALL-PRO Landscaping project is that our clients be completely satisfied based on the project and budget parameters we had agreed upon. But EXCEEDING our clients’ expectations is what we really strive for. Glad to hear that we delivered on both counts with your project! Looking forward to seeing you both soon. Bye for now, Angelo

Many thanks for your kind review. Your newly renovated Cape Cod style home already had wonderful curb appeal, but the front yard still looked like a construction zone! I’m so glad I was able to help you to complete your dream home during the season. Yes, sometimes, my quotations are a bit higher in price than competing bids, but my designs are more intricate—there’s more value for your dollar. The five Silver Valley Natural Stone Steps and the Armour Stones, along with the garden bed border and interlock paver walkway, complement the exterior of your home beautifully. Enjoy! All the best, Angelo
