    Landscaping and Fence Installation

    We were lucky to find Angelo and his team last year. He helped us with a number of projects at our house and we found him very easy to work with and very experienced in all things landscaping. Would definitely work with him again!

    Complete redo of backyard patio & walkways

    We had a large stone patio & walkways, that over the last 20 years had shifted & sunk in areas, causing the drainage to slope towards, rather than away from the foundations of our house. Angelo & his team from All Pro Landscaping did an amazing job of lifting & relaying the stones on a new base, correcting the slope & drainage issue. I was very impressed that Angelo was able to use the existing stones. It was quite the configuration to replace all the stones exactly back in the same pattern. His workers were meticulous & not one stone was damaged or missing. Quite the feat!! Also, it was a huge cost saving, as well as environmentally friendly, that all that material stayed out of the landfill. Finally, the patio & walkways were power washed & sealed,, bringing them back to life. The whole area looks like new. I am absolutely delighted with the finished product! Shout out to Ann in the office too. She is lovely to do business with & is diligent in keeping the customer informed re. timelines, what to expect etc. This was not our first time using All Pro & I’m sure it won’t be our last. I highly recommend this company. They do excellent work for a fair price.

    front yard garden, walkways, natural stone cladding porch and steps

    Our front yard project had a late start with idea inception in mid 2021, despite challenges in supply chain, ALL-PRO landscaping was able to accommodate us completing the project by end of the season. They helped us from the beginning to end of the project, gave us valuable advices and supported us in our design changes and adjustments. ALL-PRO landscaping also helped us select quality materials, we really like the final result of the landscape upgrade project on our front yard streetscapes and elevation. All-PRO landscaping crews were very polite, cooperative, professional and hard working, they maintained the work site clean and tidy everyday, and it was a real pleasure to work with them. Thanks again ALL-PRO Landscaping for your great workmanship and professionalism, I would highly recommend you to our friends and families.

    Deck and Stair Repair

    After last winter, the posts to support our back deck were dangerously crumbling along with the stairs. I contacted All Pro in March 2021 to see if they could repair them. Even though they were booked solid until August 2021, Angelo managed to squeeze us in immediately. We were very grateful since the deck would have been unusable all summer long. Thanks All Pro!!!

    Complete Backyard Makeover

    This was our second project with Angelo and the All Pro Landscaping and Carpentry team. This time around we were dealing with significantly more challenging issues as we wanted our entire backyard completed in stone/pavers. Additionally, our yard slopes towards the house and with the complete removal of grassed areas we would lose all of the natural water absorption. Therefore, drainage would become a critical part of this project. At a high level the project had 4 main elements: 1. Two-level patio with garden wall, built-up steps from patio door, use of armour stones and a seating bench. 2. Drainage – 20 feet of channel drain that discharges away from the house with all patio areas properly sloped eliminating any pooling of water. 3. Walkway from front of house to backyard using patio slabs and river rock 4. 60 feet of new fencing and support posts, plus 30 feet of refaced fencing. Throughout all of the steps of this project, from the initial planning/drawings to the day we put patio furniture in place, the work was done in a highly professional manner exactly as it was communicated to us. Angelo was on site every day to ensure plans were being followed or adjustments made as necessary. Ann provided extremely detailed invoicing that turned the 4 main elements of this project into more than a dozen price points on a very detailed invoice. Technically, the work exceeded my expectations, thanks to Angelo’s meticulous planning and Dan’s stonework abilities and attention to detail – after many heavy rainstorms it’s amazing to see how effective the drainage system they implemented actually works, well done! In terms of overall aesthetics, we couldn’t be happier with the outcome and we are constantly getting compliments from friends and family as they too are blown away by how beautiful the space looks. Thank you, Angelo, Dan and all the team from All Pro Landscaping and Carpentry for an excellent job.

    Answer from pro:

    Hello Dave. Thank you ever so much for your detailed summary of our project which we completed for you at the end of May 2021, seven (7) months ago. Glad to hear that the drainage system has handled the unusually heavy rains this fall that caused flooding elsewhere, and that you and your family and friends have been enjoying your transformed outdoor living space, particularly beneficial during the pandemic. It was lovely to hear from you in June of 2020 to start the planning process for your backyard transformation to occur the following year, after having completed the refresh of your front entrance porch and walkway in 2019. Given the prevailing materials shortages due to the pandemic, we purchased your chosen pavers, wall systems and slabs in 2020 and secured the materials at our staging yard over the winter. This ensured the availability of your preferred materials when it was time to start your project in Spring 2021. Wishing you and your family many happy hours in your new backyard oasis. All the best, Angelo (NOTE TO HOMEOWNERS: To read David’s 2019 project review posted Dec.23, 2019, paste the following link into your browser, https://homestars.com/homeowner/1221603-david-in-toronto, OR click on the link “David in Toronto” in the left margin of this review.)

    Backyard Patio and Deck

    We are very pleased clients who have used All Pro Landscaping and Carpentry Ltd for numerous projects over the past 20 years. We are returning customers as Angelo and his team are always able to take our ideas and enhance them with their own ideas and years of experience. The end results always exceed our expectations. Angelo is meticulous in updating his plans and quotes to fit our budget, and he and Ann are great at communicating every step of the way throughout the process of planning to completion. Even when faced with challenges with suppliers, Angelo is relentless in following up to resolve these issues to complete the project. Our 1960’s bungalow has been transformed into an attractive home with retaining walls, a new verandah with a built-in planting urn, an attractive front yard garden, a beautiful walkout deck and stairs that take us out to a large backyard patio accented with a contrasting border. The stonework is tastefully done, with great attention to detail and pattern. We can’t wait to enjoy the new patio this spring! When looking for a company to do your own home landscaping project, do not hesitate to contact Angelo and his team. You won’t be disappointed. Musical in Scarborough

    Love Our New Driveway!

    We could not be happier with our new driveway and walkway! We had admired work done by this company in our neighborhood and contacted All-Pro for a quotation to replace the original 35 year old paved driveway, create a side walkway/garden retaining wall, and alter some existing stonework to provide proper esthetics for the overall job. We ultimately had the complete driveway redone using rough finished "pavers" (ie. stone work). Many neighbors and even people walking by have commented on how good the driveway looks. From our first meetings with Angelo and Ann, it was obvious that they and their team were dedicated to ensuring our satisfaction with the overall end result. As a company that focuses on this part of the city for their business, it is obvious that they are keen to ensure quality workmanship. For example, I was surprised how deep they went down (12" to 14") to first create a proper base layer below our new driveway, to ensure a long lasting good looking product. The planning, attention to detail, and workmanship was impressive as was the skill and dedication of the crew who completed the work. These guys know their stuff, and I still love looking at my new driveway every day!

    Backyard makeover

    Our backyard looked like it was becoming part of the forest we backed onto! We got other quotes but because of the reviews and my brother's recommendation we went with All Pro Landscaping. Angelo measured everything out for his quote which we really liked. Even though his team was extremely busy they were able to start the clearing of the backyard late last fall and finished the project in May this spring. I'm sitting outside looking at the beautiful view as I write this. The stonework is beautiful and we enjoyed planting our new garden beds. There was an issue with the colour of the main stone from the manufacturer. Angelo worked with Ann in the office who really came through to find enough to complete the work. We're so glad it worked out! The guys (led by Dan) doing the work were great. We've had our friends ask who did the work and we would definitely recommend All Pro Landscaping and Carpentry. Thank you Angelo, Ann & team.

    Answer from pro:

    Dear ALL-PRO Clients! We greatly appreciate your kind review, and the wonderful images that beautifully convey the scope and aesthetic of this project completed for you in the Spring of 2021! Thanks to the favorable weather and ground conditions in late 2020, we were able to excavate the patio area and install the base material, giving us a head start for your project originally scheduled for the following year. For HomeStars readers, I will summarize your paver choices depicted in the attached images … Paver manufacturer: OAKS Landscape Products. MAIN PAVER: Oaks’ RIALTO paver (three sizes). Colour: MACKINAW. ACCENT PAVER for Sailor Course*: Oaks’ MONTEREY. Colour: ONYX. Size: Small Rectangle 8” x 16”. (*Accent pavers installed in a Sailor Course pattern, where pavers are laid end-to-end to create an approx. 8-inch-wide contrasting perimeter band.) From your images, HomeStars readers will notice the gorgeous outdoor fireplace/pizza oven at the corner of your patio. I would venture to say that the overriding goal in paver selection, was to find a colour that would harmonize with the stone accents of the fireplace/pizza oven that you had specially ordered from the United States and which had not yet arrived at the time of paver selection. As you mentioned, we hit a bit of a roadblock in accessing a sufficient quantity of your preferred main paver. The manufacturer had discontinued that paver colour option. Luckily, after reaching out to more than 50 dealers in Ontario, we found sufficient quantity at a dealer in Winona. Hurray! And, as readers can see from the images, the match with your fireplace is spot-on – extraordinary! I should also direct readers’ attention to the image of a grassy area at the south side of your home. In this transitional space between the new walkway beside the deck and your existing walkway that wraps around the front of the house, you opted for the installation of SYNTHETIC GRASS. We installed approx. 140 square feet of Rymar Durablade 95 (S-Shaped) Synthetic Grass in this area. Again, we are very grateful for your review and happy to know that you are savouring delicious oven-baked pizza from the vantage point of your forest terrace look-out. All the best, Angelo

    Love our patio again!

    We got tired of the weeds growing between the gaping pavers on our walkways and patio and because of the great reviews we called All Pro Landscaping and Carpentry Inc. for a quote to replace them. Angelo came by to see the project. Even though he was extremely busy and we were a little late in the season in deciding to have the work done, he gave us a fair quote and agreed to do the job. Well I couldn’t be happier with the result. We had the front walk to our front door, a step, a side walkway beside the garage, a large patio with a platform step at the side door, a small area leading to our deck and a long step up to the deck. The guys doing the work were punctual, friendly, and courteous and were very patient with my many questions. Everything went smoothly and they took care not to disrupt nearby flowers and shrubbery. They cleaned up before leaving each day. I was impressed by their attention to detail and the hard work they did due to the many curves in the walkway and patio areas. Ann in the office was a delight to work with and was very patient with us when we kept changing our mind about selecting pavers. We get many compliments on our lovely walks now and it is a pleasure to not see a bunch of weeds and ankle breaking dips and gaps in the pavers. I would recommend All Pro Landscaping and Carpentry Inc if you want the job done right. Thank you Angelo for fitting us in

    Answer from pro:

    Dear Peggy, Many thanks for sharing your ALL-PRO Landscaping experience with homeowners searching HomeStars for reputable professionals. When you called our office in March 2021, our production schedule was already booked into August, and we were only quoting on new projects for previous clients and for homeowners referred to us by our clients. However, our office manager, Ann, specifically asked me to meet with you as a special favour to her on the basis of your chat. So glad that we were able to help you to bring your vision to life just in time for the Labour Day Weekend. Thank you for your accolades regarding the ALL-PRO Landscaping Team -- indeed hardworking and taking great pride in what is being created for our clients. Thank you for your recommendation! All the best, Angelo P.S. Thank you for including an image of the patio dining area. Here is a summary of your project paver choices for the benefit of HomeStars readers … Paver manufacturer: OAKS Landscape Products. MAIN PAVER: Oaks’ RIDGEFIELD PLUS paver (Large Combo Bundle of three sizes). Colour: EXECUTIVE. ACCENT PAVER for Soldier Course*: Oaks’ CENTURION. Colour: ONYX. Size: Standard Stone 5.5” x 8”. (*Accent pavers installed in a Soldier Course pattern, where pavers are laid side-by-side to create an approx. 8-inch-wide contrasting perimeter band.)

    Landscaping

    This was the third time that my wife and I used ALL-PRO Landscaping and Carpentry Ltd over the last 18 years. We just move into a house in an older area and it needed lots of landscaping in the front, the side, and especially the back. Angelo and his crew did an amazing job, as usual. Every day we were informed as to what would be happening that day so that we could make changes if needed. They never proceeded with the job unless they had our permission. The ALL-PRO crew were very courteous and helpful, helping us make good decisions when problems arose, and they did. They were excellent at their job. They were always on time each morning and never left the site until it was completely cleaned. We were also impressed with their Office Manager, Ann, who was extremely helpful with questions about permits and other matters relating to our job. We would definitely recommend ALL-PRO Landscaping and Carpentry Ltd to anyone who is looking for a great, great company

    Answer from pro:

    Dear Jerry, All I can say is “Whoa and wow!” After 36 years in business, we have many clients who begin to feel like friends by virtue of having worked together on successive projects over the years. You and your wife are precisely such friends of ALL-PRO Landscaping. After a 360-degree update of your previous home through a number of landscape construction projects over the years, we embarked this year on a 360-degree landscape treatment at your new home in a SINGLE PROJECT! As always, it was a pleasure working with you both. Although you had moved outside ALL-PRO’s core service area, we of course made an exception for your project. And now, there is nothing left to do outside except for you and your family to ENJOY! I look forward to visiting with you in your backyard when the pandemic subsides and, perhaps, to capture some images for the website! Cheers! All the best, Angelo
