Calgary Landscaper

hired this company to provide services the price changed 4 times and the job was delayed always asked for money. Would not recommend them to do any landscape services. buyer beware

They also rent equipment; and as other have mentioned, ben penner has a colorful past.

When i returned the bobcat one of his illegal tenants helped me and then Ben refuse to return my $1000 deposit. then he made an invoice showing all the "damages" I did to the bobcat (coming out to about $400). i said fine give me the balance and he emailed me $400 (200 short). I finally sent him a strongly worded text telling him I am aware of his criminal past and he called me swearing and asking me if I 'wanna go.' As out of character as it sounds... he then gave me more money back...not the full 200. not even close but i didn't expect anything.

The sad thing is... they are still in business after ears of these bad reviews. and chances will be for many more years... as people are reading this after he has ripped them off. anyways just google bernard penner.

I hired Calgary Landscaper ltd to cut my lawn they did an amazing job, yard looks great I would recommend them to anybody, great service and the staff is so profesional

Wow I'm a new home owner in Calgary and was looking around for a landscaper. Finally found Calgary landscapers, Ben came to my front door on time we talked bout what I wanted to be done. The next day his crew trimmed my hedges planted my flower garden and mowed my lawn. Everything was done to perfection. The crew was efficient,well mannered and over all very professional

Buyer Beware!!!!!

I contracted this company through an ad that the main company contact (Ben) posted on Kijiji. I was looking for a basic concrete pad to be poured in my back yard, and after contacting the estimator that the company listed in the ad, I checked out some referenced for previous jobs they had done. The main reason I hired them was because of timing...they weren't the cheapest or most expensive, but they could get the job done quickly. They came and started prep work, and then asked for a deposit for half the job, so they could schedule the concrete pour. I know this isn't an uncommon practice, and they said it was because of the quick turn around to get in the queue for concrete.

They certainly seem like a legit company...fancy website talking about how awesome they are. No reason to think my money wasn't safe, right? Wrong!! After they didn't show up to finish the job, and I couldn't get through on the number they posted on their ad, I talked to Ben after calling the main ad number. Even though he posted the ad, he told me that his concrete guy didn't work for him, and too bad because I was out of luck. He then hung up after telling me, he didn't have the time to deal with me.

I have now been in contact with one of the other job references, and they are in the same boat (but for a bigger deposit). Maybe their game is to take the money and split it?

If you do any business with these guys, you have been warned! My advise would be to stay clear of this company for any of their services.
