It was so easy for us to select Groundscape Construction Inc. to transform the front of our house because when we interviewed Sal he knew exactly what we wanted and provided us options and precisely explained each option. This made our decisions so easy. We were very impressed with Sal as his experience and professionalism showed in his passionate explanation of the project. Sal and his crew are very reliable, competent, hard working and each phase was done when it was planned for. We definitely recommend Sal as it was a truly a wonderful hassle free experience. The quality of work is amazing and the front of our house looks great!
If we could give Sal and his team additional stars, we would. Both our front and backyard were completely transformed from weedy, overgrown, and completely uninviting spaces into an absolute oasis. We are finally excited to take our toddler into the backyard to play (previously we actually avoided doing so). From start to finish Sal was there overseeing every step of the project. The process from quote to design to planning to construction was very smooth. They were even accommodating when a movie crew showed up unexpectedly on our street just as we were about to start construction and they were forced to rearrange their schedule. Sal was incredibly thorough, always prompt and available to reply to any questions, and offered great advice along the way. The entire team was very professional, friendly, diligent, and took great pride in their work. Not entirely certain how comparable they are in price to other landscapers but we can guarantee they are worth every dollar you spend. (See the photo of the absolutely stunning custom pergola they built for us.) We would highly recommend Groundscape Construction Inc. to anyone looking for a landscaping company!
It was a real pleasure working with Sal & his team. Sal is very personable, professional & efficient. They were very hard working & did an excellent job, very precise & well done. We are very pleased with the work done to our back & front yard! It looks beautiful! We would highly recommend Sal to anyone. This is work done to its finest.
Thank you so much!!
Sal and his team recently did phase 2 of our landscaping project. Their work ethic and accountability for every detail was exceptional! We were beyond impressed by their ability to ensure that our backyard was everything we had hoped for. It's evident that Sal is very passionate about his work. He's extremely professional, reliable, and oversees the project every step of the way. I would highly recommend Groundscape construction for your next landscaping project!
This summer Sal and his crew installed a large patio, walkway, natural stone stairs, and a retaining wall for us. We interviewed a lot of contractors for this big job, and right from the beginning I knew Sal was the man for the job. This family business with decades of experience rises above the rest and demonstrates unparalleled pride in what they do. Sal's crew was courteous, quick and clean. The terrain they covered for us was complicated, and Sal was able to creatively work with the surroundings to give us exactly what we wanted. We are thrilled with our patio and will surely enjoy it for years to come. We will be hiring them again for some landscaping in the front of our house. Thank you Sal for the beautiful work you and your crew did. The photos below just don't do it justice!
Sal completely transformed our front yard into something out of a magazine! Throughout the planning, designing and construction process he was always available to answer our questions and provide opinions and feedback. He was so patient with us while we made our decisions. He truly has a vision for design and he brought out dream to life. We couldn't have imagined a more beautiful front yard. Sal, Mimo and his crew really went above and beyond for us. Sal clearly has great attention to detail and is very conscientious about his work, making sure very little aspect of the project was completed to perfection. His crew are all so respectful and gracious and a pleasure to work with. We can't wait to have them back in the spring to finish planting our plants and to begin planning our back yard with him.
Thanks Sal!
I'm thrilled with the work done to our front and side yards by Groundscape. The communication by Sal kept us informed of everything from timelines, payment schedules, tweaks along the way, and to our finishing options.
They stayed on budget throughout the project and I was always made aware of the hours the guys would be at my house. They stayed on track and completed the project in the time they said they would.
The job site was cleaned at the end of each day. Sal did an excellent job taking ownership of the project and coordinating other subcontractors not under his scope. His follow-up was amazing to ensure sure we were happy.
The workmanship of our newly completed outdoor oasis is amazing. It was a pleasure to work with Sal. The guys were always friendly, courteous and kind. I'd recommend Groundscape to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy contractor, with great attention to detail and communication.
I recommend Groundscape to all my clients and friends. In the Real Estate Business I see a lot of landscapes on a daily bases. Not only do amazing professional job done right, but are a pleasure to deal with, extremely trust worthy, hard working and reliable. They did a Amazing job on my Front and back landscape. My hats off to the Sal team!!!! Great Job!!
Before deciding on using Groundscape, we had several other landscaping companies come to our property to assess what we wanted and how to accomplish it. There was a fair bit of variety in terms of suggestions for drainage, removing things etc… Compared to some of the other companies that came by, Sal Laverde from Groundscape was by far the most professional and knowledgeable, coming prepared with the equipment necessary for taking measurements, notes, as well as providing suggestions and sample booklets for stone work. Despite changing our minds a few times regarding some details of the project we wanted done, Sal always returned our phone calls within 24 hours and returned several times to take additional measurements and provided us revised formal quotes for the work. He provided us with several recommended options that would be beneficial for our individual situation without trying to push additional jobs on us, and he was proactive at explaining possible problems that might arise for each options.
On the first day of the project, the Groundscape crew arrived on time as promised. Throughout the project, Sal and his team were very friendly, professional, and courteous. They had to work in extremely hot conditions and they took very few breaks, showing up on time every day ensuring we would get our project done on schedule. Sal provided us regular updates on the project progress and advised us if there were any problems. When some problems came up from a separate project Sal stepped in to offer to fix problems at no extra cost.
Sal also coordinated with the sprinkler company to ensure they knew which day to come and got everything ready for them ahead of time to avoid any delays in the project. Sal delivered on all his promises including thoroughly cleaning the property (including the street in front of property) once the project was done and leaving everything as they found it (if not cleaner) prior to start of project.
Thank you again Sal for your hard work and professionalism. You went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction, and made this a pleasant experience for us - we will definitely be recommending you and Groundscape to anyone looking for a reliable landscaping company. Count on us to be in touch with you the next time we need a project done!
I want to start off by saying that we (My husband & I) are the most difficult people to impress. Perhaps, to put things in better perspective, the most difficult to deal with, when it comes to spending our hard earned money. Our expectations are high, and throughout a major project we tend to get inherently nervous over things such as quality and craftsmanship.
A little history about ourselves, we spent over five years seeking not just for “A” contractor but the “BEST” contractor to deliver the backyard we always dreamnt of, which was certainly not an easy task. We held off, simply because we would not settle. Then one day, along came Sal. I invited him into our home for a quote, just like I did with the 10 other contractors I interviewed in the past. From the minute he stepped into our backyard, he painted us a picturesque of what our backyard could look like. We immediately fell in love with his ideas. Sal is certainly gifted. His passion was contagious, so much that we wanted our backyard landscape completed that same week. Of course an impossible task, because we were mid winter. Without delay, or hesitation we signed the contract with him.
Were we disappointed? Did Sal and his team deliver on what they promised? Or was it just another contractor selling us on ideas that they could not deliver on? Well, we use to criticize people that wrote long reviews, but writing this review was well worth our time and effort.If I could invite “you” the reader into my home, to be a witness of the spectacular work Sal and his team did, I would. There are just some things, that words do not do justice. Our backyard is the envy of the neighborhood. Almost every day, I receive compliments. The quality of the work was extraordinary, and I am confident that we received way more than what we paid for. Just like any project, we ran into technical issues, but Sal being the creative genius he is, always found a solution. What really struck me the most, was that Sal always answered our calls and texts, to address our concerns - It didn’t matter if it was late at night or a Sunday. Your concern, becomes his concern.Sal’s team are very hard working, trustworthy, polite, and genuine. They put their heart in their work, it’s as if they are working on “their” home. You can tell they are hand selected, as Sal take’s pride in what he does. Sal’s Dad, I would say was my favourite, he was sweet and personable, and also possessed strong convictions of top quality work. There is so much to say about Sal and his team. One thing is for sure, I would never risk my reputation to render a good review without merit, even if the contractor offered a discount. Great work needs to be recognized, and set apart. As homeowners we shop for contractors that will add character and value to our home, and Groundscape Construction Inc. did just that.
Thank you Sal, for bringing to life, the backyard we always dreamt of.
