    Retaining Wall

    Angelo and his team did a great job on our retaining wall this fall. We've used Angelo at least four times over 35 years for various outdoor and indoor projects and have always been very happy. He's easy to work with, flexible, and his prices are always fair.

    Answer from pro:

    Wow! As I was responding to Mike Nasser’s review with a note about considering our clients to be akin to family, you were posting this review based on a 35-year professional relationship that dates back to the very inception of ALL-PRO Landscaping in 1985. Thank you so very much for submitting this testimonial. As always, it was a pleasure working with you, and we look forward to next year’s project at the front of your property! Bye for now, Angelo

    Backyard Landscaping

    Once again Angelo with his professional team came to our rescue to get rid of our wooden patio as our backyard turned into a little zoo with a fox, raccoons, skunk, rabbits etc. Despite All-Pro other commitments, Angelo redesigned our backyard with interlock and remodelled the Kazebo. The workmanship as usual is terrific, All Pro team are pros. Thank you Angelo, Dan and all the team for the great job.

    Answer from pro:

    When we complete a project for new clients, we tend think of them as family. You and your wife are a perfect example of this. Our initial project for you dates back 12 years to the semi-circular front entrance steps and walkways that we installed in 2008. Over the years, we have helped you with other smaller projects. This year, we were privileged to work with you to transform your backyard into a true oasis, albeit without the wildlife that had inhabited your old deck structure. We wish you many, many happy years of enjoyment in your new backyard sanctuary! All the best, Angelo (Note to HomeStars readers: The attached image does not reflect the modifications we made to the existing gazebo involving wooden reinforcement/trim and staining.)

    Coping replacement/garden wall &porch re-installation/parging

    Angelo, and Ann went above and beyond to make this whole experience great. The team of workers are professional, and very personable. All aspects of the job were done with my best interest in mind. I have never had a company put in so much effort to see that I was completely satisfied through the entire process.

    Answer from pro:

    Dear Barbara, We are so grateful for your kind words, and are very happy to have been able to take care of your project for you, providing a quality and cost-effective solution. When you first called our office, you thought that you would need to replace your entire porch/step structure with new wall units and pavers. However, at our meeting, I assessed the existing materials and found that only the coping needed to be replaced. The wall units and pavers were still in great shape. We absolutely care about our clients, and about providing them with the most appropriate solution for their needs. Thank you, again, for submitting this review. Wishing you all the best, Angelo

    Interlock patio/walway

    Angelo and his crew prepped and laid an interlock patio and walkway over a filled in pool. the remainder of the yard was prepped for artificial grass. After some very good suggestions and ideas, the job was completed impeccably. Dan created a flowing ramp with the interlock that was created in a manner that makes it appear that he "bent" the stones to allow it to flow smoothly. Everyone who sees the ramp is incredibly impressed. Fantastic job!

    Answer from pro:

    Larry, it was great to work with you again this season! We greatly appreciate that you posted a review of this new project, in addition to the review that you had posted last December regarding our Fall 2019 project. Your backyard is now perfect. Nothing left for you to do but relax and enjoy! All the best, Angelo (For HomeStars readers, I should probably clarify here that ALL-PRO Landscaping installs synthetic grass, which has become more popular among our clients in recent years. For Larry’s project, we broke out the supply of the synthetic grass into a separate contract which is NOT reflected in the “Approximate cost of services”, below.)

    Front of the house landscaping

    We contracted All Pro for a landscaping project in front of the house that included the walkway, the retaining walls, step to the porch and soldier course around the driveway. Angelo and his team were very professional every step of the way. The contract included details on the foundation to be used for the installation, which other contractors do not mention; the materials were sourced locally; the price was very competitive. The team went above the expectations and paid a lot of attention to minor details. They even did work not specified in the contract, just to make everything look good. We already asked Angelo to come again next year for another project. I strongly recommend All Pro for any landscaping projects. We are really happy with the outcome.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank-you, B, for sharing this detailed account of your experience with ALL-PRO Landscaping! We do have a great team and I will be certain to let them know that you mentioned their professionalism. Yes, our quotations and contracts are quite detailed. I believe that it is important for homeowners to be aware of what kind of base and bedding materials are being installed beneath their pavers, and the layer thickness of those materials. Generally, a driveway or parking pad area, for example, would require a deeper excavation and thicker base layer than a pedestrian-only area such as a walkway or patio area. Again, many thanks for this review. We look forward to working with you again in 2021 for the transformation of your backyard patio and side walkway. Bye for now, Angelo

    Patio and French drain system

    Review We had ALL-PRO Landscaping install a new stone patio and French drain system in our backyard this summer. Even with COVID-19 and the relentless heat wave we experienced, Angelo and his team pulled through and delivered a fantastic installation. Our project was delayed a few times due to the many unforeseen circumstances that came through working in a pandemic during a heat wave, but Ann was in touch with us regularly through the process to give us updates along the way. Working with her was also amazing - she is so organized, her emails are always detailed and very helpful, and she’s always willing to get answers. This is a team of people who really care about their work and their customers, and it shows. We weren’t left in the dark on anything and our questions were all answered right away. I’m not even sure how they do it because they are VERY busy given the quality of work they do and being so in demand! We chose ALL-PRO after doing lots of research and using the reviews here on HomeStars as a big factor in our decision. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend ALL-PRO. Angelo is a true master of his craft and his work was incredible. He is the type of person who wants to get the job done RIGHT and not cut any corners, and he’s the type of person you can trust to do a great job. He really went above and beyond, and we are so happy with the final product. Angelo’s team is also hard working and they were all very polite and respectful. Attention to detail was top of mind throughout and the cleanup after was also fantastic - couldn’t find a single piece of anything accidentally left behind! I can’t say enough good things all around - we are so thrilled with how everything turned out! My one suggestion would be if you want ALL-PRO to do your project, contact them early on as they will book up quickly! Stones: We chose Winchester pavers in Pewter with Inversa Stone in onyx for the border. Angelo suggested a soldier course for the border and it turned out great. The step is the Large Peninsula step in Charcoal. Before and after photo attached!

    Answer from pro:

    Dear Jesse, Thank you so much for this thoughtful and detailed chronicle of our work for you this year! Yes, we do really care about our customers and our work, and are pleased to hear that it shows! It was a pleasure working with you. We are grateful for your kind understanding with the approx. three-week delay in starting your project. At the time of the contract signing, we had set the project start range for Late August, weather permitting. We started on Sept. 17 and finished on Saturday the 19th. Each season, I build contingency buffers into the ALL-PRO Landscaping project construction schedule, to absorb factors that could potentially cause delays … rain, excessive heat, muddy soil conditions, etc. For the first time in 35 years, these buffers were completely consumed by unexpected challenges like widespread material shortages and consistent requests from clients to expand the scope of their projects, even while work was under way! Some projects even doubled in size: from approx. $17,000 to $35,000, and from approx. $32,000 to $74,000. Again, thank you for your patience. Wishing you many happy and comfortable hours of WINTER barbecuing on your beautiful new patio!! All the best, Angelo

    Front door stairs renovation

    Many thanks to Angelo, Dan and Jason for the amazing renovation of our front door stairs (see before and after photos). You were professional, punctual and hard working. Angelo you were always reachable to answer our questions by phone and email. The job was completed well within the timelines and on budget. I would not hesitate to come to you for any future stonework or landscaping project. We've received many compliments!

    Answer from pro:

    Dear Frances. We are so grateful for your review and the before-and-after images of your front entrance transformation. Your choice of Hampton Limestone Flamed Finish natural stone to clad the existing concrete stoop created a dramatic result! After your black wrought iron railing is installed and driveway repaved, the look will be even more dramatic. It was wonderful working with you. All the best, Angelo (Note to HomeStars readers: Hampton Limestone Flamed Finish 2” Coping for the step treads, Square-cut Flagstone for the verticals, and full step at the base where we removed the raised poured concrete mini-platform.)

    Reinventing our garden

    We decided to do a makeover of our front garden beds. We wanted to place quite a number of large Mountain Grey armour stones In the garden beds. We once again contracted with All Pro Landscaping (who had done a couple of previous jobs for us) and they very quickly arranged for the product and had them placed in our garden in a very short space of time with no damage at all to our driveway or grass! We couldn’t be happier! Thanks Angelo for taking care of us once again & for the quick efficient execution of the job! We look forward to the next time.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you, Mr. McCrea! You were among our earliest HomeStars reviewers with your kind posting in Jan. 2012 regarding our 2005 and 2011 projects. Now, more than eight years later, we were delighted to receive your call to assist you with the garden areas inside your circular driveway and in front of your home. While a much smaller project than we would be able to accept from a new client, we are always delighted to hear from our previous clients and assist with any landscape project. We, too, very much look forward to the next time! All the best!

    New, bigger deck, rip out above ground pool, new 700 sq. ft. patio pavers

    Angelo & crew ripped out our old above ground pool, tore down our old, smaller rotting deck, ripped out a few cedars, installed a new larger deck/railing, and installed 700 sq. feet of beautiful large patio pavers. Quality respectful crew, job completed in a timely and high-quality fashion, at a fair price. We would definitely recommend All-Pro Landscaping for your backyard reno!

    Answer from pro:

    This has been our third project for you since 2015 and, as always, it has been a pleasure. Your review is so greatly appreciated, N.D.! I will be sure to share your comments with the entire team who just completed your project last week. I invite homeowners to read to the previous HomeStars review which you posted on April 17, 2016 (https://homestars.com/companies/2783386-all-pro-landscaping-carpentry-ltd/reviews/453550) regarding our front entrance project. I look forward to seeing you next week regarding the additional projects you would like us to complete for you in the fall. Bye for now, Angelo

    Front Entrance, Then Another with Path to Backyard patio

    Angelo did such an amazing job with the entrance of our Pickering home in 2015, when we moved into our dream home there was no doubt who’d be getting the call. We had the front entrance done in flagstone and pavers. A paver walkway with complimenting river rock leading to the backyard patio. The work was thorough, professional, with a keen eye to detail. Would recommend All-Pro all day.

    Answer from pro:

    Hello Grant! Thank you for this very kind review! It was an honour to help you to turn your dream home into the home of your dreams by bringing your vision for the surrounding landscape elements to life. Glad to hear that you are still enjoying it after nearly two years. All the best, Angelo
