Angelo and his team were very efficient and cost-effective, and the results were terrific. They replaced the old patio paver walkway, and installed natural quarry stone front steps and flagstone on the front porch. Angelo provided a quote in a timely fashion, and his quote matched the work completed and invoiced amount. I would highly recommend All-Pro Landscaping.

Thank you, Nick, for taking the time to review our work for you last August. Cladding a builders plain concrete front porch and door threshold with beautiful square-cut flagstone certainly “makes a dramatic entrance” for any home. But the dark-toned flagstone (chosen to match your dark grey double front doors) really “pops” against the neutral grey tone of the steps and walkway pavers. And the two driveway borders, also constructed with interlock pavers, draw the design out to the street for maximum curb appeal. I appreciate your comments about my quoting process. And, perhaps, for the benefit of HomeStars readers, I should take a moment to elaborate on this. I invest hours of work in a typical quotation. This ensures that homeowners understand exactly what they would be getting. Starting with a hand-rendered scale drawing of the proposed project design footprint for my own use, I can then calculate accurate pricing. Rather than providing homeowners with a simple estimate for the entire project, I go the extra mile by presenting a detailed, typed (usually multi-page) "Contract Specification Sheet" that breaks the entire project into individual components—each one defined by price, material specifications and dimensions. It also includes warranty, HST, payment terms and approximate start date range. Ultimately, this same document becomes the signed client contract. In some cases, of course, some refinements to material selection and design occur before the document is signed by both the client and me. Again, thank you, Nick, for mentioning that the quote you received matched the work completed and the amount that you paid. All the best, Angelo
