It looks like Alan and I have come to some sort of agreement that his team will still come and fix…read morethe patio stones one of these days or soon. There were certain mutual misunderstandings. I hope the current unevenness of the patio stones will be corrected, and then I will remove the negative comments on my part. *** The original text: 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 ! 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, Alan Guan 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 Alan Guan 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 !

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY Late April:…read moreI contacted OSL (Owner: Alan Guan, BIN: 1000203720) for a small landscaping project involving a strip of river rocks between my property and my neighbor's. Alan provided a quote of ~$1,100.00. The job included removing existing rocks, installing weed-resistant fabric, washing the rocks, and replacing them to prevent future weed growth. May 2nd, 2024: Employees arrived at 10:00 a.m. and worked until 4:00 p.m. They struggled to clean the rocks due to the excessive mud they dug up. They finished the job, but the rocks were wet and dark, making it hard to see the results clearly. They were paid in full and left. Alan collected his supplies later that evening or the next morning. May 3rd, 2024: After the rocks dried, I discovered a 3-inch pile of mud at my driveway, and the last quarter of the rocks were in a pool of mud, leaves, roots, and debris. Weeds were still present along my neighbour's side (photos). I contacted Alan with a photo. His response was "Sorry to hear this, I recommend picking up a couple of bottles of weed spray from Home Depot to quash any weeds if they do come up in a couple of months. As for the mud, the guys tried their best to wash it as best as possible, sorry about that. The mud should wash off after a few rainy days". May 5th, 2024: After three heavy rainfalls, there was thick, hardened mud and new weed growth. I bought weed killer as a temporary solution and contacted Alan again. He did not reply. May 7th, 2024: I followed up, asking if he was ignoring the issue. He replied "the guys spent a whole day, not sure how we can help further. We can send the guys back to help pressure wash the stones more at a reduced rate". I explained to him that I would not be paying MORE for a service that was not completely adequately to begin with. May 8th, 2024: I sent an email to Alan, but it bounced back. I texted him instead, asking him to fix the job properly. May 9th, 2024: Alan replied, stating he would inspect the rocks but did not follow up. May 12th, 2024: I texted again, asking when he would arrive. He informed me that "Our guys are unwilling to go back, one of them is out of town until Mid June, I would go myself to do it, however I am in Quebec until August for military training." May 13th, 2024: Alan promised to hire another company, stating "I'm in contact with a couple students, I will have someone come this weekend/early next week to fix it up as needed". We agreed they would arrive on May 19th. May 19th, 2024: The new company arrived and had a confusing conversation with my neighbours and decided to call me to clarify. They stated that the job was worse than he thought and wasn't willing to correct for the amount offered. He also stated it was a "horrific" landscaping job. May 20th, 2024: I noticed new weed growth and texted Alan again. He offered to hire someone to fix the issue again. May 23rd, 2024: Still no reply. I sent another text asking for an update. No response. Also informed him of more weed growth again. May 25th, 2024: As of today, I still haven't heard back from Alan. Conclusion: This experience has been extremely frustrating. OSL failed to complete the job as promised and provided no satisfactory resolution. I strongly advise avoiding this company. See attached photos. I will be contacting Better Business Bureau.

My husband and I recently relocated from Los Angeles to Ottawa, and not long after we moved into…read moreour new home, we had the unfortunate experience of having a MASSIVE tree fall into our backyard. The whole situation was pretty scary, because not only did it fill the yard, half of the enormous trunk, was resting on our garden gate, and the whole thing was in danger of coming down. We first called the city, because it was an iffy situation as to whether the tree was on our property, or if it was a city tree. Sadly, their representative came out and determined that it was our responsibility. We immediately started calling around for estimates, and had 3 other companies come out, before we got a call back from Cooper Tree Service. They had their rep come by to check it out, and we were very relieved that he didn't seem as daunted by the whole situation, the way that we were. He said that he didn't think that it would take too long to dismantle the whole thing, and my husband and I just looked at each other, like "Yeah, sure." But he had a really great vibe, and his price was reasonable, so we decided to go ahead with him. BEST DECISION EVER!!! The tree guy (Brady), had the whole thing cut down in less than 3 hours, AND he had it bundled, sorted, and neatly off to the side, and ready for the chipper. He also left the whole yard in immaculate condition... we were shocked! The entire job took, maybe 4 hours from start to finish, and we couldn't have been happier with the result. Not only that, before he left, Brady also smoothed out the ragged, broken area of the tree that had been left standing, AND he gave us some excellent recommendations, for some tree planting that we would like to have done in our yard next year. All in all, we're lucky to have found Cooper's and truly grateful to have been taken care of by Brady.
