They were already maintaining and servicing our irrigation system and we were pleased with that level of service. Our front yard however, needed a complete make over! Greg took our design and ideas, tweaked them a little and the results are amazing. He and his team were very easy to work with, were always positive and we felt like we were part of the team. Greg is an excellent listener, honest, very detail oriented, meticulous, very focused and utilizes his team members' skill sets well. He checked with us at every stage that it was what we wanted. Once the project was started, the team was present every day until completion. The weedy, mossy "grass" was removed and replaced with flower beds, river rock, a patio, a pond and a pathway leading to the backyard. The irrigation system was modified to suit the new design. No shortcuts in the project were taken. We would highly recommend Prowest, not only for installation and maintenance of irrigation systems and yard maintenance but also for landscaping projects. They work hard, produce great results, are cost efficient and are excellent to work with.

Pro-West has looked after our sprinkler system for 12 years. During this time numerous sprinkler…read moreheads have been replaced and repositioned and they have provided fall shutdown and spring start up services. This summer Greg and his crew removed 1,000 sq. ft of lawn and replaced it with pavers. This labor intensive task included sprinkler line re-routing, removing roots, stumps and ground material-17 tons worth, updating drainage lines and installing pavers in a contoured area. Greg provided a quote with a cost guarantee. He is honest, talented, professional, dependable, a listener, great communicator, thoughtful and provides an excellent role model for his staff. His work is meticulous and precise. We have been very impressed with all facets of the services provided by Pro-West, including working with Sam in the office, irrigation repair and installation staff and the recent landscaping/patio work. We highly recommend Pro-West. They are one of a handful of companies in Parksville/Qualicum area that we rely on and have always been given exceptional, reliable service at reasonable and fair price. If there was a 6th star, they would be deserving.

He went out of his way to ensure that I was happy with the finished project. He works fast and cleans up....takes away all the mess. I couldn't be happier. He did not try to scam or over charge. He invoiced me exactly what he quoted. I have had bad experiences with other trades so I know when I am being ripped off and I am quite cautious about who I hire. Thankfully I have found a few good people in Nanaimo who are professional and fair. He has insurance and WCB.

Damage was caused to my 4-month-old insulated garage door during the job (caught on camera). Mike initially acknowledged the damage and advised withholding payment until a resolution was reached. I obtained a quote for the repair as requested, but communication quickly deteriorated. Mike insisted the dents could be "popped out" despite the installer confirming the panels needed replacing. He also visited my property without notice, which was captured on video. When we arranged times for him to bring "his guy" who was sure he "could pop out the dents", he cancelled last minute and failed to follow up, after accusing me of being uncooperative. Although I paid in full to avoid penalizing the workers, I will never hire this company again. The lack of accountability and professionalism makes it impossible to recommend. Luckily, I have a text record of all communication, even though Mike insisted on talking on the phone, I didn't. Update: Over a month and half later and I am still waiting for the receipt I asked for. I've tried calling and no answer. I paid my bill in full, Mike won't take care of the damage they caused to my property.
