Aaron Thomas provides a number of services. I had to clear my 90yo mother's 3bd house, & Aaron…read moremade a number of suggestions to me in advance of his providing service for me. He was always punctual, very pleasant and professional. He cleared all that I wanted taken from the house & back yard. A passerby saw a large, heavy piece of furniture that she wanted for herself & she wanted Aaron to load it onto the trailer & deliver a couple blocks away immediately. Very kindly, he did that immediately & returned to fill up his trailer with all the remaining junk I wanted to clear. His quoted price was reasonable for his time and the amount of "junk" I wanted to be rid of. He does a lot of other services. I would hire him again in a heartbeat! Thank you Aaron!!!!

Exceptional product and service. This company and owner are very honest, helpful, knowledgable and…read morewill bend over backwards to provide exceptional service. We were just a small project, however, Ken and his crew treated us like a top priority. Highly recommend.

Although this company came out and did the job in a timely fashion I need to let you know that…read morethere are many hidden costs. Firstly you think you are hiring a company that has their own excavator well they do but they don't. Ken Clark has another business and that business has all the equipment that he rents to do the job and then bills you for the rental of the equipment which by the way is close to $ 1000. and then you are billed for the excavation which is another $1000. By the way this hole that was dug out is 13 x 14 and 25 inches deep. They broke the sewer line and guess how much they charged us to fix it? Let's just say it cost us $58 for piece of 3" pvc. They took away the asphalt but not any soil. Then you have to plead with him to come get his equipment from your place after 4 days of it just sitting there getting in the way. My son paid $600 to have an excavator come and did a much bigger hole...wish I had got the first guy that said he would do the job.

I had a great experience with this company. Very professional, friendly and helpful. Ben started…read moreand finished the work as agreed. He charged exactly what he quoted. 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. I would highly recommend Techniblock if you need pave stones, retaining walls... any kind of hard scraping. Thank you!

I've had the pleasure of working with Adrian and Upscaled Yard & Gardens for the past couple of…read moreyears. There are two main differences in working with this company, as opposed to others: 1) The work is going to get done better than you envisioned. Adrian takes as much pride in his work as you would. Maybe more. 2) The price is much more reasonable than others we've had quoted. Adrian will communicate with you. I'm constantly surprised how considerate he is of your time, and all of his customers. You know when he's there, when he's leaving and when he'll be back. He takes a great deal of pride in his work; it really shows. I had him help me with the landscaping before a September wedding on the lower patio. Everyone commented on how good it looked.

They are also very reliable, trustworthy and communicative, which is hard to come by. Reasonable prices too!

Greg and his team are awesome! We could not have found a better company to deal with to transform…read moreour front yard. 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.

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.
