It has been almost 3 weeks since our backyard patio and side yard landscaping were finished, and every time we look at them, we think we made the right decision on hiring Mohamed at Luxur Landscaping to help us with our backyard makeover. It all began at our search of stones in a neighbourhood stone depot (Leona in Oak Ridges) and we got 3 recommended company names from the owner of the stone place. We called the 3 companies, and Mohamed was the first to come out and gave us a quote. His price was not the cheapest but from talking with him (and the other companies), we felt that he knew what he was doing, knew the material well, and gave us very good recommendations that not only would make a beautiful job, but would also save us money at the same time. Later he came to our home and presented a few designs for us to choose from, and we worked together to pick and choose and "created" one that would both suit our taste, requirement, and most of all, budget. Mohamed explained that it would be to our best interest to have everything on paper before he started the job, so we would know exactly what we were getting. He accommodated to our short notice on changes/additions and finished the job in 4 days (he told us it would take 1 week most, depending on weather). During the process, he added some elements that were not covered in our original design/plan, because he felt that it would make our patio a lot more beautiful, and he did not charge us extras for them. We learned to just let him do his job, and make his own creations as he is a perfectionist himself. There were little things that we were concerned about, and he explained the reasons behind or fixed them with/without our request. We really felt the value that we were getting, and all our friends and neighbours who saw our back/side yard makeover gave us high praises on the job. Mohamed, thank you for your help, and we can't wait for your quote/design on the front now :D
