A few words from Rick

Welcome; and thank you for coming to our web site. I would like to express to you how very happy I am that you took the time to come and check us out.

Let me start by saying it is my desire to be the best landscape company out there. Almost anybody can make a job look good on the day of completion, but what about next year or 10 years from now? Landscaping is something that must be done right, the first time, if it is done wrong it will always look bad and will only get worse. Even when repaired it will still fail unless it is completely ripped out and rebuilt from the base up. Sad but true.

 I would like to quote a few of my customers from a few years ago, first is Mr. Frank Potter of Markham. Mr. Potter told me

"You only get what you pay for,  and I only want to pay once"

He showed me some other work in his neighborhood that was sub standard and was only a couple of years old, he made it clear that he did not want that type of workmanship, We showed him that we were the guys to do it right. He gave us a compliment on the completed project, calling it Artistry in Stone. We got a number of jobs in his area as a direct result of the work we did at his home. I still drop in on him and his wife Helen every now and then, and they always welcome me like a trusted friend, its a good feeling.

Confucius say: Cheap job no good.... good job no cheap. I really wish that I could convince more people that this is the truth, and if you are not going to get it done right, then dont get it done at all. A bad installation only gives my industry a bad name and makes other potential customers feel that interlocking stone will not pass the test of time.

On a final note: I love what I do, I take great pride in every job, even small jobs are given the utmost in care and concern. We use only the best quality products, which are guaranteed by the manufactures for between 25 years and as long as you own your home. All our work comes with a written guarantee of between 2 and 5 years, and we have been known to do free repairs even 10 years later ( if we take care of you, you'll take care of us. Taking care of our customers is one of our best forms of advertisement)

  We have become very aware of global warming and therefore we do all we can for our environment… we recycle everything we can, every piece of concrete and asphalt as well as brick cuts that we remove from your home is taken and recycled and we buy it back as base material after it is crushed not only is this good for our environment, but it makes a much stronger base material for your home. We take old trees plants and shrubs to be turned into mulch and compost, which we buy back for our jobs. All our on site garbage is recycled (coffee and drink cups and lids, lunch bags and wrappers, all shipping materials… shrink wrap, plastic strapping and metal banding) and starting in 2007 we will be planting trees at our customers homes, we have not worked out the details yet but you will get a small tree with a walkway and a larger one for a driveway and so on. Just a good way to replace some of the oxygen that is lost with our use of tools, equipment and trucks on your job. These trees will supply oxygen for years to come. We may instead of trees, give you a supply of energy efficient light bulbs for your home, helping you reduce green house emissions and reduce your hydro bill to boot. Some of you may be interested in global warming, and I hope you are, so I thought I would add a link to help show what you can do to help out with this very serious problem. www.climatecrisis.net You may care to check out a movie by former Vice President Al Gore of the United States, it is called An Inconvenient Truth. You should find it very informative.

  Well I guess Ill close here, for now that is. Im sure as time goes on I'll come back in to add a bit here and there, Enjoy the site….Thanks Rick
