  With Ottawa Student Landscaping, I had the worst landscaping experience ever. You can see what gaps they left in our patio.NEVER EVER EVER use their services !NEVER EVER EVER trust ***************** no matter which company he is going to work for !Due to some recent family loss of 2 people and 2 adorable guinea pigs, my critical thinking was really foggy, so instead of checking multiple landscapers and asking each one in advance, I selected these guys.From the beginning, I assumed that they are landscapers, they accept work requests. Again, not thinking clearly and critically, I paid both the first payment before the work and final payment after the 10 x 10 feet patio was done (2 x $1,829.19).When I send the pictures with wavy and wobbly edge on my patio, ***************** demanded that only the first 2 hours they can work for free, then $50 per man hour !Wow ! To fix their own bad work they demand more money, eh ? I realized too late that the patio is done in a wrong place, but ***************** said that they are not designers.Wow ! If I clearly heard and understood that they are not designers, I wouldn't deal with them in the first place. NEVER EVER EVER use their services !NEVER EVER EVER trust ***************** no matter which company he is going to work for !

  I originally went with this company for a big parking pad project at the front of my house. The owner asked for a sizeable deposit. I did not know he had very little experience and kept finding reasons to ask for more money. I ended up going with someone else half way through the job as he had itemized and charged me for a ***** removal originally. It was not possible to take it out with the escavator as he originally thought and he wanted more money from me or he would pull out. He threatened me with this. He never stipulated the ***** had to come out a certain way within the quote originally. Threatening to pull out of the job half way through is highly manipulative and unprofessional. He also tried to get more money when he said that if I went with two colours of stone the company would have different deliveries and it would cost more.Unfortunately, he really doesnt know what he is talking about. I asked him about doing the front step, one step up, and he said they werent going to do that. On a full walkway/ parking pad project, of course this one step should be done. When I talked to the guy digging, he said it was his first job. Why did he misrepresent himself and show me a picture of a previous parking pad he had done if he hadnt done one. This is misrepresentation without a doubt. Dealing with this company was very stressful. I lost money but found someone knowledgeable.
