Bch Landscaping Design & Constructions

Klara, Roman and their crew worked very hard in very hot weather and I now have a beautiful new lawn and garden at the front of my home. I wanted to down-size and have an easy care garden and I have that now. Klara selected a wonderful array of perennials and shrubs. It was completed in 2 days. I am really delighted and have had many compliments from my neighbours.

We hired BCH Landscaping to do our patio. Roman is a true professional who takes a lot of pride in his work. The price was reasonable. His advice/suggestions were well taken and appreciated and we are very pleased with the outcome of our new patio. His crew is punctual,knowledgeable and very well mannered and we enjoyed having them working here. Roman and Klara are very honest business people. We have received a lot of compliments from friends and neighbours and everyone said what a beautiful job they've done for you, congratulations! We liked our patio before but now we LOVE it. Thank you Roman, Klara and crew.

We were looking for someone to replace the stones in our backyard with a proper patio. Our previous neighbour had some work done by BCH so we had them quote on the job. Unlike previous contractors, Roman's presentation showed a genuine interest in making our townhouse patio a special retreat. We wanted to expand our existing patio, and ensure the water flowed away from the house into the common area. The work was booked for the spring of 2015 and before we knew it the 1st of June came and BCH began the job - we had the most driest week! Roman and his team are very professional, thorough and clearly took pride in their work. The work was completed just as the rain began to fall. We just love the patio!

Our front walkway, Side walkway were redone with new paving stones, steps were done with stones, new garden in front yard and backyard was redone with new sodding. BCH Landscaping did the work and made good suggestions to optimize the look we were going for. The workmanship was excellent and I am very happy with the quality of the finish.

Many thanks to Roman at BCH Landscaping and special thanks to Klara for the beautiful garden

Awesome work. Very professional and great insight.

We were impressed by the professionalism, attention to detail, and expertise shown by Roman, Klara and the crew. Roman worked along with the crew and all timelines were met.
We now have a weedfree, level patio and walkway, and an impressive new large front stone step and stone walkway and garden. We have received many positive comments!
We are now watching our new front garden burst into bloom! It is quite obvious that Klara and Roman love and take pride in what they are doing. We would be happy to recommend them to anyone!

In the last 10 Years we had BCH Landscaping work on at least 3 different projects around out house. First they built smaller front patio with circular steps and curbs on the sides of our driveway. Later they built a large patio in the backyard under an existing Pergola. They also fixed up our plants and gave us advice on many of our landscaping issues. Both Roman and Klara were very professional and honest. Roman did a great job designing and making suggestions on the front patio as well as in the back. Klara's help with plants and landscape was great and we appreciated her help and advice. Never had any issues. Work was done professionally and on time. Everything was always cleaned and organized. We are already thinking about another project!

My story started off on the right-foot. Initial meeting was very professional and curtious. Roman (one of two BCH's primaries) gloated over his presentation which included an award of Excellence from his trade association Landscape of Onario which by defaul, in my POV, puts BCH at the top of the landscaper's market. I was very impressed to say the least. The meeting, and we clicked. There, I thought, is a man with Passion for his work and no doubt a true professional. I could't wait for him to start and break the ground for the project. That evening I went as far as trying to get my neighbour to also use his service, as I knew he was looking for something to be done in his back yard. We are located in a new (3 year old) development so all the necessities such as fencing and landscaping need to be done. Work commenced by the end of May of 2014. My wife was especially impessed with the progress during the process; I received constant feedback from her as she is a stay-at-home mother (sorry, having a hard time finding a better phrase, no offence to readers who might preferr different terminology; non-the-less, it takes a lot of skill and patience -- Love You Honey) as we have 3 small childern. Her feedback was always positive with the exception of the garden part of the equation. Let me elaborate. Mrs Clara is BCH's secondary and Roman's spouse. She is responsible for garden design and the like. The only problem is, she kept on pushing her style onto my wife who does not like certain species, for example lilacs. And guess what, Mrs Clara shows up with a bunch of lilacs and intends to plant them in our garden after my wife specificaly mentioned that lilacs are simply out of the question. And me, well; whatever my sweetie wants. I guess lilacs were on special at that time. LOL. After all said and done, I've spent $3800 for our flowerbed, which is premium for the job that was carried out, but I had no problem with that, since hey; sometimes it's better spend a little more and be done with it! Besides, I was guaranteed 12 month warranty on all plants and trees. Oh boy, was I wrong! We will get to that in a minute. Within a couple of weeks, things begun to die. My initial reaction was to get my professional's advice on how to tackle the issue. We had a problem with excess water on our part of the property due to grading and soil type, which in-effect created unfavourable conditions for growth. (Which I believe BCH should have been awareof, as they have excavated the area to prepare for deck, patio and garden). I have followed BCH's advice of instaling a weeping tile, at which point I preferred it to be done by BCH's chosen contractor as to make sure it's done to my professional's (BCH's) specifications. I've spent an additional $800 for the job, regretfully to no effect; the soil still held a lot of water. An additional extension of the weeping tile did not make any sense for me, as the company installing the item could not guarantee any better results with further modification to the exising weeping tile in place. I simply did not see a benefit of spending an additional $1,200 for the modification if the needed outcome could not be guranteed. As that did not result in a fix, BCH's reponse was to put the onus on me, and try to convince me that I over-waterd the area. Hmm, I'm no expert but an orifice of approximately 0.020” on each sprinkler head times 3 heads at City's water pressure of about 45 PSI on my water main (remembered because my sprinkler “guy” checked the pressure before installing the system on my property), watering at 3 day intervals for 5 minutes per interval could not, in my opinion (and others), add so much water to the soil (which by-the-way is malched). As it all turns-out, with BCH, once a client has paid for the job completed and encounters any problems that might be costly or simply inconvinient for BCH, all of a sudden the client becomes the enemy and is treated with disrepect, frankly speaking; the world is not all sunshine 24/7, so I don't mind, but what I do mind is the cavalier treatment that follows. I guess, it is your turn to become the expert. Now prepare to spend some more money. Pay for irrigation experties (such as in my case, and may not apply to you), gardening experts, soil scientist to pull samples (can you believe it, there is such a job) and finally, just to make sure you have an "air-tight" case get yourself and engineer that deals with property grading and drainage to ensure that the grading and conditions present are not out-of-the-ordinary. Now you become the expert and frankly its discusting what you find: Not the right top-soil, not enough of top-soil, wrong planting method for the type of conditions, and bad location of certain species. WOW, very intensive, I most cerainly had no interest in diving this deep. At the end, I have invested a lot of my time, effort and money to compile my evidence. Why, you may ask, for a $3,800 flowerbed job? (Total job; flowerbed, deck and patio cost me $19,600) Well, lets say that I have a lot of capacity to take on BS but my wife most certainly doesn't! The heated conversations that took place after the fact between my wife and Mrs Clara were not pleasant and my wife felt ripped-off, yet again! Step in me. I held no reserve and went all-out after our final meeting in the fall of 2014. What truly surpised me was Roman's behavior after the fact. Who would have thought?! A Professional behaving in such a childish manner, as if we were back on the school ground and I'm dealing with a Bully. Their final words of wisdom as they left our property were "We Will Never Step Foot on this Propery Ever Again", they've Exclaimed. And "We're putting you on the Black List of Clients" Wow, I was in total disbelief. A "Black List"! This is something New and surely might be of interest to the industry segment in which I work in. With evidence on-hand I started e-mailing BCH; but to no surprise, no response. First letter dated Jan 03, 2015 stated my problem and mentioned my promissed "warranty". I was after-all not very surprised that there was no responce; as the duel must have been under the impression that I am very angry, emotional and certainly bluffing. What?! Compiled evidence! They surely loughed. Follow letter #2, dated Jan 23, 2015 Now I'm more firm, and just to make sure that I am not wrong in thinking that they've received the initial letter, I also state that I will register-mail both the initial and current letter. Which of course I did. BCH's retalliation time followed; unpleasent phone calls and finaly a formal response "Thank you for inquiry. BCH Landscaping Ltd. is closed for the winter season. We resume operations on Wenesday, April 1, 2015." Signed Veronica (Seasonal Administrative Assistant). Wow, that's a very convinient way to respond, considering my warranty lapses end of May 2015, and I will have no time left to do anything in this regard. Follow my 3rd and final letter dated Jan 31, 2015 giving BCH final notice to comply to my Warranty and knowing that BCH has no interest in resolving this Minor Issue and having had the unpleasant phone calls, I have demanded that any further communication between us will strictly be in Written form via eMail, Canada Post, FedEx, Purolator, or the like and I also explicitly stated that there will be No Verbal conversations whatsoever. Let us not leave any room for misunderstanding of any kind! Today is Mar 9th of 2015 and I still haven't heard from BCH in any shape or form. I've decided to write this review first. If that does not help, next I'm filing a complaint with the BBB (Better Business Bureau) and if I need to go as far as the Small Claims Court, I will. I have collected all the evidence that one needs to have a strong case, I don't doubt that I will win but I will also claim damages for both my wasted (which is valuable to me atleast) and menatl anguish and unnecessary duress put on my wife. In conclusion, Clara's gardening was and is a disaster (ie its most/ all dead), the deck was built by an outside contractor and is of very good quality (Cudos), Roman's patio is also of very good quality but leaves little room for improvement (eg We've got an oval shape interlock boarder and in the design Roman decided to cut "slivers" out of the interlock and weadge between the rectangular pieces to accomadate the oval shape. He sould have cut along the length of the interlock stone at an angle-cutting out tapers-on both sides to make an oval shape so that we would have gotten a seemless design without future problems with these "slivers" that will crumble in time due to their shape.) Never intended to nit-pick! But what the heck, if I'm in, then lets be Very Specific and Professional, after all I had to become very knowledgeable in the topic. Now, I'm just very curious what BCH has to say about all this. Stay tooned. From one Dissatisfied Customer

I wanted to post this review because of the excellent work BCH Landscaping did for us in the fall of 2014.
The project we did was a large back patio (replacing a deck that we had for over 25 years), a front walkway, and a side yard walkway. From the initial call with Klara setting up the appointments with Roman we had a good feeling about BCH. Roman listened carefully to our thoughts about what we wanted and came back with very detailed recommendations in the form of plans to help us visualize our project. Klara also provided recommended plantings for the accompanying gardens.
Roman and Klara set realistic timeframes based on their availability as to when the project would start and the approximate amount of time for completion.
Roman and his crew proceeded to tackle each part of the project, one section at a time. They arrived early each day and at the end of each day organized and tidied up the work areas.
The end results exceeded our expectations for all aspects of our project.
Throughout the process as some of our original plans were being put into place Roman made some key suggestions to improve the overall look of certain areas.
For example with the front walkway we thought we would need two steps from our porch however after removing the old walkway and plantings Roman indicated he would not have to build any steps. We were very pleased with this.
His crew was always hard working and very polite and courteous to us throughout the project.
We eagerly look forward to fully utilizing our new outdoor spaces this coming spring and summer.
Every aspect of their work is professional, from the initial contact with Klara as well as Roman and his crew.
I would highly recommend BCH Landscaping.

Roman did an amazing job on our front porch & walkway! This is the second time we have hired Roman. He is very talented, hardworking, and honest. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone! We are looking forward to working with Klara in the spring to put her garden plan together. Thanks again Roman!

Got sick of my patio stone sidewalk leading to my backyard so got Roman to do an interlock job instead. This is the third time I have used his services and was not disappointed.
