I believe I know just about everything that can go wrong with contractor, and so I was very hesitant to seek someone’s help to do another project on my backyard. However, Pedro from ATR Landscape Lic. #910974 did his job so flawlessly, that he was somehow able to restore my faith in contractors.He really started to impress me from day 1, when he showed up at 8am to start the job on Monday, after we approved his bid on Friday. His bid to put in a patterned retaining wall was the most reasonable, and I must admit I was skeptical. My pessimism turned out to be unfounded: Pedro stayed on budget, did not ask for any money upfront, ordered the right materials, took care of all the logistics; at the end provided itemized invoice with exact material and labor costs.He communicated timely and clearly by text if he was running late, or if he had questions and clarified his remarks with pictures. Before he would start doing anything he would make sure that he understood what we wanted. Once we understood each other, I did not have to stick around – Pedro showed up early every day and stayed long hours to keep up with the schedule he had set for himself. Moreover, he continued coming back every day, without interruptions, and working until the project was complete.Pedro certainly knows his trade and has very high work ethic. He was unsatisfied until there was a finished look, and the wall blended in with whatever was surrounding it. He was not satisfied until we were happy, listened to our wishes and quickly made minor tweaks as we requested them.One day, we had invited some guests in the evening and so I asked Pedro to finish work early that day. Not only he did that, but he had moved the materials and tools and made the backyard neat and clean, one would not even know that it was in the middle of the project.Judging by how many specialized tools he had brought in, I suspect he can do just about any landscaping job there is. I shall speak only for what he has done for me, which was a patterned retaining wall. My wall turned on to be done right (I can tell because I built one myself: drainage, levelled, interlocked blocks). It was done on budget, on schedule, 10-year warranty, looked just like we wanted – it was flawless. I would absolutely recommend him to anybody looking to do similar project. I know I will try to get his help on the next landscaping project.Alex & Tanya
