We are super happy with the end product provided by Viking Landscaping. I called Alex based on a recommendation in January. Alex came by our yard numerous times and rolled me through about 6 plan changes! The guys that came were always available to answer questions or explain what they were doing. Honestly it was really enjoyable having them here and seeing the progress. They were appreciative of us too and always respectful towards the family.
I see some reviews that speak to communication with Alex. I did not experience any delays in communication and can say that if this has been an issue in the past, he has addressed this. I never waited for a response and I definitely reached out lots of times.
No larger project is going to go perfect. What I feel is important is that you go with someone who will address issues and work with you. That is exactly the experience we had with Viking and we are over the moon happy with the result.
I would not hesitate to have friends and family use Viking on my recommendation. I hope we can have them back for future projects.

Viking Landscapers has done an amazing job for me by repairing my water feature and spring cleaning my back and front yards.
The work was done quickly and well and Harry and Brandt were polite and hard working. The price I was quoted is the price I paid; there were no surprises.
I had called a few landscape companies before contacting Viking and I didn't even get a call back from any of them. The fact that Alex got back to me was very welcomed and that is only one piece of my 5 star review.
I definitely recommend Viking Landscaping for your yard work.

Alex Johnson and his team transformed our backyard into a place that exceeded our expectations. Alex understood the challenges and limitations of the property and we went with his advice. The quote was competitive as I had received 3 quotes. The difference wasn't about money but the confidence he inspired with his knowledge, experience, and commitment. He answered all our questions and concerns. We will recommend Viking Landscaping to family and friends. These guys work hard and keep their promises. Fantastic job!

I recently used Viking for all of my Landscaping. They did a unbelievable job. Their workers were efficient and extremely professional. I would highly recommend them to anybody who wants the job done right the first time.

Had a great experience working with Viking Landscape and Ben. They exceeded my expectations on time, price, and quality of work. When my project required minor tweaking after the fact—a loose stone or a tree that had died—they were quick to follow up and make changes/repair at no additional cost. Professional and reputable.

I hired the Calgary office of Viking Landscaping to install sidewalk pavers from my driveway to my patio and three 36" high Barkman Belvedere cement block pillars on top of my concrete patio.
Viking did a good job installing the paving stones. Unfortunately, the most prominent part of the work, the columns, are absolutely terrible.
The three attached photos show the wonky columns that Viking built. The owner of Viking says the wonkyness is due to the pillars being built on a concrete base supplied by me. That is to say, built on my patio. Which was the whole point from the start. He says the results are therefore my fault. I'll let the reader decide if they think that is the case.
Unfortunately my wife cut the cheque to Viking while I was out of town. All I can do is warn people to absolutely stay away from this contractor.
Stan, I am sorry to hear you feel this way with the work we completed.
Prior to us building the columns I spoke with your wife and yourself and was quite clear that the owner supplied base ( self levelling concrete installed by yourself) was no where near level, you poured individual concrete pads for the pillars ( not sitting on your patio), due to this I would build the columns but would be un able to supply any warranty with the columns as the base was not proper. You responded and said you understood, there would be no warranty, I proceeded to construct the pillars. The material you chose for the pillars was Barkman belvedere, these stones are meant to look like a natural stone, uneven with ins and outs, which you were aware of because you had worked with it yourself. I had many people walk by while finishing the pillars saying they looked great, I also offered to come by and help you rectify any issues you had with the project, however you chose to not accept my offer.
We always stand behind our work and will continue to do so, below is picture of the belevdere pillar showing the natural look with certain parts sticking out more than others (from the installation guide).

Viking Landscaping has received employee and/or sub-contractor complaints
Complaint: Worked for the company in Winnipeg over the snowy season. Was paid late. Was paid short. When asking about overtime I was told I was welcome to find a new job instead of responding to my questions & concerns. I took a stress leave due to how Ben Johnson was threatening me with termination & made the work environment feel tense. He began texting my coworkers once I left for the day about my situation which was super embarrassing & unprofessional. Now I am fighting for my money owed. They lied on my ROE & also took over a month to submit my ROE instead of the legal 5 business days. I am now fighting to receive my owed money along side employment standards helping me out. Very unprofessional business with a very high turn over rate (as I am now aware why).
