Algonquin Property Services Inc

We live in a condo complex in North Ajax. Our back yard was just plain with only a small deck. I consulted with Algonquin and they provided me with a plan to turn it into a usable entertainment area. The plan was accepted by the condo corporation and the work commenced.
Excellent prep work, professional workmanship, thorough on detail and clean up. I highly recommend Algonquin for any landscaping and outdoor installations.

I have to say that the professionalism of the work crew, quality of work, and overall experience of working with Algonquin was amazing. Would highly recommend them. They helped to bring a curb appeal that i didn't think was possible.

Staff were great. Very professional I found them to be very helpfull with any questions I had. Steve and his team made sure the work was done professionally and done on time. Highly recommend for landscaping and unilock work. Very happy with end product. Final job Looks amazing Chris.

Excellent company for property maintenance. Does spring/fall clean up and lawn maintenance as well as snow removal. The company is large enough to assure that the work will be done and not too small that they will be too stretch for workers to maintain your property. Excellent staff and also offer other services such as fence construction, cleaning eves and washing/scrubbing walls. Very satisfied.

I contracted this company to build a front porch, steps, drive way and back yard patio using interlocking bricks. They also built a flower beds in the back yard. All in all the job was done to my satisfaction.

We had been using Algonquin on a weekly basis for at least 8 years. We were very happy with the service until two years ago when their key gardener, CHRIS, left. He was just fantastic and in my opinion, he made the company. Since he left, we were given crews that lacked in knowledge and workmanship and attitude, and we also noticed cut backs on our services such as weed control on grass and interlock, which we had pre-paid. A good week was rare, most of the time the property did not meet the standards to which we were accustomed. In two years since CHRIS left, we have lost a number of shrubs and bushes do to improper care, blooming on most shrubs has stopped, and all the natural shapes of the shrubs and bushes are lost. The last straw came when we lost two, and possibly a third, beautiful mature evergreens due to neglect - the trees were left to choke on wires that were placed around the trunks to keep then upright when they were planted. Their expertise that we apparently paid for should have alerted them to the fact that these should have been removed before this could happen but they didn’t. As a result, one tree snapped in half and toppled over, another is half dead (the trunk has grown around the wire), and as for the third, it is not known at this time if it will survive. I had complained many times to the company with little response, and no response at all to the lost trees. The only thing they did was cut off the lower half of the tree and took the whole thing away, leaving the huge trunk and root in the ground. They have since been fired, but have left us with the cost of taking down the remaining trees, removing the roots, and replacing them which will cost us thousands of dollars to do. De-stumping alone is $500. No response from Steve Bell the owner, who has proved to be extremely cowardly and arrogant. He has not responded to our phone calls and did not come over once through all our complaints to see for himself. We now have a new company that we are extremely pleased with. Don't give your business to a guy that doesn't know what he is doing and can potentially damage your property, whether it is commercial or residential. There are a lot of other GOOD companies to choose from.
