Green Works Contracting

We are pleased with the work done by Kellaway and his crew to dig up, re-grade and re-sod both our front and back yards. Our property sits next to a path leading to a park with high foot traffic so we are thrilled with the new rock design in the front to deter walkers from cutting through the yard. The crew were courteous and professional. We also received positive feedback from neighbours about the crew. Looking forward to doing more business in the future.

Our yard was a mess... overgrown trees, poor drainage, failing shed, more moss than grass, awkward slope... the list keeps going. We needed a large makeover and needed help with a vision. We spoke to a few people but Green Works won us over. Kellaway was open about the challenges we faced and the likely cost; and was frank about areas where we would regret cutting costs. We had a lot of questions and a lot of design input – we were amazed at how well the initial design matched our wants and needs. Getting to the final design took a few months in large part because work requires us to travel. Throughout the process Kellaway always had constructive feedback… even when we were asking for things that defied the laws of physics. In the end, we cut some scope to stay within the budget but the main vision stayed. The work started and finished on schedule despite some last-minute design changes. Green Works’ teams were a pleasure to have. They were polite, kept us informed of progress and walked us through any minor changes that were required. Given the amount of material and equipment we never had any issues with parking or access. The final results are amazing - could not be happier. Our only regret was we didn’t do this earlier.

Spectacular design. Unwavering professionalism. Superior quality. After completing both the back and front yard renovations with Green Works Contracting Inc. (GWC), we are absolutely pleased and extremely impressed with the service and quality of work they provided us with. We originally hired GWC to redo our backyard as the landscaping was in dire need of help, with overgrown and un-kept vegetation, rotted tree stumps, poor water drainage and, above all, zero liveable outdoor space. With time, persistence and patience, Kellaway navigated through our wish list, created a beautiful vision and made it become a reality. Kellaway worked with us to prioritize our needs and create a realistic budget. We appreciated his quick turn-around on the latest design proposals that always included an upfront detailed cost breakdown. Sure, there was a little apprehension on some of the design ideas such as the colour of the pavers or paying what seemed to be a lot of money just to cover your original back patio step with veneers… but Kellaway’s design was always proven to be the right choice. After seeing the new backyard patio we soon increased our scope of work to the front yard patio, lawn and driveway and we were very pleased with how quickly GWC made it happen. The crews for the hardscaping and the sodding were exceptionally hard-working, always positive and represented their company very well. They were equipped with the right tools and knowledge to get the job done, and they welcomed every question we had along the way. Our exterior is now one masterpiece that we are truly proud of, as it reflects who we are and provides us with peace of mind. We trust GWC and highly recommend their services to anyone who wants to get their jobs done right, fast, and with satisfaction guaranteed.

I hired Green Works primarily to fix the grading around my house and in the backyard. I've lived here for three years but the house is 37 years old and it didn't look like the grading had ever been maintained. All the ground, including that under my deck, was draining towards my home. I contracted Green Works to fix the grading around my house, in the backyard and under the deck; to install a new interlock pathway and some river rock; to install pop-up drains from all the downspouts; and to lay new sod in the backyard. From beginning to end, all went smoothly. Kellaway arrived at the scheduled time to look at what I wanted done and I received a very detailed estimate via email in a timely manner. I decided to go with Green Works and was given an estimated start date. They were two days late starting due to torrential rains which was understandable and out of their control. What I did appreciate a lot was that I was regularly kept informed by Kellaway as to the status of the start. The crews who did the work were some of the hardest-working contractors I've ever seen. They arrived before 7:30 AM every day and didn't leave until between 5:30 and 6:00 PM. They were unfailingly polite and respectful of my property. All the work was done without disturbing any of the established plants in my back garden. The first crew did the major grading of the backyard, took apart my deck and graded under it by hand, installed pop-up drains from the downspouts, and laid the interlock. When they were digging the foundation for my interlock (17"!), they came upon a very large section of boggy soil. They could have just ignored it and gone ahead and done the interlock. I would never have known until a few years down the road when the interlock started to sink in spots. They took the time to show me what they'd found, explain what would happen if it weren't fixed and to tell me how they could fix it. Fixing it put them quite a few hours behind schedule but doing the job right was obviously of utmost importance. After the interlock was done, another crew arrived to do the final grading along the sides of the house and to install the new sod and river rock. The sod order was put in after they arrived at my house so it was cut and delivered fresh. New topsoil was installed, starter fertilizer put down and some seed was spread before the sod was laid. All of this was done to ensure a thick, healthy lawn. I'd wanted my garden beds left a little bigger and they were very helpful in determining a nice shape. I was also impressed with how careful the crews were with all their trucks and machinery so as not to block neighbours' driveways or park for long periods of time in non-parking zones. There have been a lot of paving and landscaping contractors on my road this year and not all companies were as considerate as Green Works! After the job was finished, they cleaned up very well around my property and on the road. The whole job was done in 4 days and looks wonderful! I would not hesitate to hire Green Works again for any future landscaping work.

Thank you to Green Works… Their very professional and courteous team did a great job on our large back yard, without damaging any of our many flower beds and patio areas… They were efficient, quick, and the quality of their work was excellent… When they were done, they cleaned all the work areas… I highly recommend them… Cathy and Armand

Excellent work and service! After getting 5-6 estimates, i decided to go with Green works who was very attentive to our specific needs, efficient and clear upfront about total cost involved. Their pricing was competitive and their skills/workmanship were exemplary. This was a small project but design was important since the interlock stone deck is front facing and extented outdoor living space. The end product was simply perfect and completed within timeframe...The owner Kel and his small team of experts were very professional, super tidy and respectful of neighbours. Thank you for delivering a top-notch deck! Carole
