interlock stone

It has been over a year but quality of the job is still holding up! I was and am completely satisfied with all the work and efforts these men showed while doing my interlock stone. I would recommend Burl-Oak Landscaping to anyone!

Patio

Ziad and Lou'ay provided excellent information to any inquires, accurate timelines, great work, and timely follow-up. During the entire process we were kept in the loop the entire time and quickly put together an excellent backyard patio. Would recommend to anyone on the area, the team is outstanding.

Replacement of Front Walk with Banas Stone

With much to do around our house, I feel fortunate to have contacted Burl-Oak Landscaping. Lou'ay has helped us to develop a long term plan for projects that include a new front walk and steps, back deck, driveway and lighting. The front walk was completed in two days and is a handsome addition to the yard. The crew was efficient, friendly and helpful in answering questions that I had about the process and materials used. We look forward to working with Burl-Oak again. After replacing the walk, we really only have one problem. Our younger children are enamoured with the Bobcat and want Santa to bring one!

Landscaping

We had Louay and his team install a weeping tile, landscape the backyard and pour a concrete pad for a large garden shed. Over all the project was a success. Louay was very helpful and made some great suggestions and communicated fully throughout the project. Beautiful work on the interlock walkway and armour stone. However the shed deck was not properly leveled and therefore caused some consternation when building the shed.
Thanks Burloak.

Backyard Patio

Our patio work was done very nicely in May this year and at a very reasonable price. The craftsmanship was neat and they completed the entire work in two days. They were very professional in their work and went out of their way to ensure neighbor's property remains was not affected while they worked.
I am happy and would certainly recommend them to others

Backyard patio

My wife and I are enjoying our patio. The work is well done. Some aspects of the customer service experience could be better. Their prices are reasonable and seem to be fair.

Thank you Garth for the review. We are sorry for the you didn't have a great experience. Sometimes I take for granted the knowledge I know, and don't pass it along to the homeowner because I assume you would know. I am clearly mistaken, but in the end everything was fine, and I am happy you are pleased with your new patio. Enjoy your summer and please don't hesitate to ask if you require anything else.

Back Patio, Side, and Driveway

We had our back patio, side walkway and driveway done by Lou'ay and Ziad's team. They were able to complete the project within their timeline and within the agreed costs. Some minor details were forgotten but corrected promptly and in a professional manner. Their team is courteous and polite and respected our property. At our request Ziad agreed to come back to add a step to our side after deciding the slope was a bit too steep. Overall, a very well done and beautiful project that we are continuing to love today. We would recommend Lou'ay and Ziad to everybody.

The large patio, the walk way and retain walls.

Burl Oak build for us the large patio (1200sf) and the walk way on one side of the house. We are happy with the overall company performance. It could have been better. Some details were forgotten and had to be redone. They of course repaired it on time. We would recommend them. They do what they say they are going to do. It appears Lou’ay strives to give the client exactly what they are picturing in their heads. They will return in one year to seal the stones of the patio. We are very happy with the job they did. It came out just as we had pictured it. They are the real deal !

Driveway and Porch Interlock - project gone WRONG

We initially put this review out after the project is done but we have to make a change as the lack of workmanship shows after 2 years.

We had our driveway lift and relay as it is uneven. However after less than 2 years, we start to see that the places where it was uneven start to show again and it got worse this year. Tried to call the owner before but no response.

This can tell us that they didn't do the job right and the excavation wasn't done properly. They didn't excavate enough to provide a solid base and thus what was uneven before begins to show again. It seems like we have wasted our money and we are really disappointed.

I am sorry you are having issues with your driveway. when we initially repaired the driveway we had informed you that unless you installed the entire driveway new again it is a risk as to what will happen. we have certainly learned from this incident and a few others and that is why we no longer do repairs. I apologise for the incident and since the work was completed so long ago our warranty does not apply. again sorry for the trouble but we as every company have limits to the service we can offer before we start to become unprofitable.

New driveway and front lawn resodding

Taking the time to read reviews on Homestars has really paid off for me as I have found some really great contractors. Another one I can now add to my list of stellar contractors is Lou'ay and his team from Burl-Oak. I found them by a total fluke as it was the one and only time I have ever taken a moment to flip through flyers that land in my mailbox. I noticed their ad in a local advertising leaflet and decided to look them up on Homestars. These guys had endless great reviews so I decided to get them out for a quote.

Upon meeting Lou'ay I was really impressed with his professionalism. After I agreed to his very fair quote (which was properly laid out, detailed and signed by him) we proceeded to the contract with all the terms laid out that were not only for his protection but mine.

Now on to his work. WOW! I have to say I am a gal who is very hard to please but I was awe struck with how fantastic our driveway (Courtstone by Unilock-which has a cobble stone look) looked when he finished and the attention to detail paid to re-sodding our lawn (which I must say looks as perfect as a golf course!!) that was previously a heap of weeds. I was also so impressed with how Lou'ay and his team buckled down and tackled a very unexpected 4 foot deep curb that needed to get removed. Though this unexpected obstacle was a surprise for everyone, Lou'ay and his team soldiered on to painfully remove it and never turned around and made me feel bad about it nor did he slap on any extra fees. He totally stayed true to his quote. As an added extra he also surprised me by resetting my existing flag stone walk path that he said he would do at no extra charge. As for the flagstone path, I thought it looked fine the way it was originally but was shocked at the difference it made by him resetting it properly. It truly looks beautiful and like a new path altogether. He also installed my outdoor lamp post at no extra charge.

One added note I would like to say about Lou'ay in particular is that he was not only really professional but truly a gentleman and very patient with my never ending worries. I can drive anyone a bit nuts with my micromanaging but he really took it in stride and took all my concerns and suggestion seriously. This was truly appreciated.

I would seriously recommend Lou'ay and his team anyone who wants professional and hard working contractors who take pride in their work.
