1) Remove existing backyard interlock patio and steps and install new interlock patio and steps

The project was just completed and we are very happy with the results.
Amir is professional and approachable and always available either by text, telephone or in person for any questions we had. It’s clear that he wants the customer to have a good experience. There was a delay in starting the project because of the weather but he kept us informed.
The crew, Saad and Fadi, were friendly, respectful and courteous and have a strong work ethic. The existing patio had several areas that had sunk and these areas collected water. They rectified these issues by excavating beyond the required depth and added more gravel to make sure there won’t be any problems in the future. We’ve had a lot of rain since then and there is no pooling. The new pavers are lined up perfectly and the cuts are clean and lined up perfectly. It’s obvious that they take pride in their work. It was a relief knowing we didn’t have to worry about the job being done properly. They worked long hours and at the end of each day, they cleaned up the work area.
Our property leading to the backyard is narrow so our neighbor allowed the excavator to go on his property to make it easier to access our yard. Mr. Interlock will make the necessary repairs shortly.
We’re very happy with our new patio and highly recommend Mr. Interlock.
The second part of our project will begin shortly and we look forward to having the Mr. Interlock crew back and know that they’ll do an excellent job!

Thank you Rick and Anita for sharing your experience. I can't thank you enough for your patience this summer with all of the rain we have been experiencing. It was an honour to work in a backyard that was so upkept. Your family takes pride in your landscaping and we felt privileged to contribute. We are excited to work on the second phase.

Back Yard Patio

I met Amir from Mr. Interlock through a family friend. They typically don’t service the Brantford area but made an exception for our project. There Forman Saad and his crew were wonderful to deal with. From the start, he laid out his plan and provided daily scope validations to share his progress. Throughout construction, they built rapport with all my neighbours and cleaned up well after every workday. If you're looking for a professional company with a modern perspective to landscaping they are the right guys to call. Thank you, Saad and crew, for all your hard work and if you're ever in the Brantford area there is a back patio your always welcome too.

Backyard Landscaping - Interlock patio, new fence, new sod

We went through a backyard landscape reno and were referred to Mr. Interlock through friends.

From the start, Amir was professional and responsive to our needs. We asked a lot of questions and he patiently and diligently answered every one of them.

Due to weather, we did encounter some delays in starting the work. However, Amir managed our expectations and kept us informed.

When we started the work, we ended making some changes during the process. Not only did Amir accommodate our change request, but walked us through our options to ensure we were 100% satisfied.

The job Mr. Interlock did was terrific. The crew was efficient and effective. We are very happy with our new backyard and we would definitely recommend Mr Interlock for your landscape needs.

Backyard Renovation

We just had our backyard renovated by Mr. Interlock and we are thrilled with the final results. Amir and Chris have an extremely professional team. The guys working in the backyard were courteous, friendly, and most importantly hard working. I can't emphasize enough the quality of their work ethic. Amir was easy to reach by phone, text or in person. His communication was very clear so that there would be no surprise costs. Chris was always willing to explain the process step by step so that we were really part of the process and understood the reasoning behind the way things were built.

We had our backyard redone by Mr. Interlock - a lot of excavation and demo work (so many trips to the dump too), new retaining walls, new fences, waterproofing, and new sod.

The workmanship is very neat. These guys do not leave garbage behind, every cut is clean, every stone is lined up properly. We never had to worry about questioning them about positioning or angles, as it was done properly without cutting corners.
We look forward to working with Mr. Interlock again when we are ready to redo our patio.

Thank you Jeff and Diana for sharing your experience. When we initially started working at your neighbour house we had no intentions of taking more work on due to our calendar. However; after realizing that we may not have all off this access in terms of space to bring in equipment in the future it made sense to take advantage of the opportunity.

We did not get the privilege of meeting you months prior to project commencing. I want to thank you both for working with us on the fly to design and implement your project. Wishing you both the best and we can't wait until our next collaboration!

Walkway

We have used Mr. Interlock in 2012 to do a large landscape project for us and it turned out terrific. Amir, Chris and the team were easy to work with and come highly recommended. It was a no brainer for us to use them again when it came time to do a walkway at a rental property we own. They were quick, diligent and my neighbours loved them. They are my go to landscapers!

Resolutions Both Parties Agreed

Hired Mr. Interlock in Nov 2018 for the following jobs: interlock patio and interlock side pathway which was done well, to install new Kentucky Blue grass sods on the east side and 2 garden plots on both sides of my backyard. During winter, I can’t see the new sods and the 2 new garden plots. After snow gone, in early spring, the sods look patchy, grass didn’t grow evenly even though I sprayed Golfgreen Bio-feed & Weed free fertilizer once every month. The 2 garden plots don’t have enough soil
depth for roots to establish. The sods & garden soils were weed infested.
I removed the black tarp from the garden plots so I can fill it with good
quality soil & that’s when I found out the terrible job that was
done. On the west side garden plot, there’s 3 meters long, 4 inches wide
wide, 6 inches deep of canal. No garden soil filled in the canal. They just
covered it with black tarp, then filled it with one-inch depth of soil on
top of the tarp. There’s also a big, wide & deep hole, with some gravel
dumped into the wide hole, then covered it with tarp, and an inch depth
of soil on top of the tarp.
This is a follow up of my first review & to adjust the rating that I gave to
Mr Interlock with fair consideration on the job well done of the interlock
patio & interlock of the side pathway.
On Aug 3, Amir came over to see the issues I mentioned in my first
review. I much appreciated Amir’s efforts to reach feasible resolution
to all issues. As I had mentioned earlier in my review, the interlock jobs
on the patio and side pathway was done beautifully. In this aspect, it’s
fair that I shld give Mr Interlock better rate of 8 instead of 3 broken
down as follows: 5 for interlock job, 3 for sods & garden plots. We had
reached the following resolutions: additional excavation of the west
side garden plot & fill it with at least 5-6 inches depth of garden soil at
no extra cost charges. Removed the installed sods & replace it with new
sods, cost not yet determined by Amir. I decided to extend the patio
interlock all the way to the front of the shed, which cost hasn’t been
determined yet. Over all, Amir will give me cost estimate of additional
interlock & installation of new sods on the east side of my house. Once
these resolutions would be done nicely, there’s no reasons why I
wouldn’t give Mr Interlock a perfect 10 conditional on the completion of
the resolutions both me & Amir had agreed upon. For now, I just wait &
see if these resolutions will be done sooner than later. I’m planning to
have my front yard landscaped next year. If Mr Interlock will do a good
job on these resolutions, I might reconsider of re-hiring them again with
renewed trust because Amir has that conscientious efforts to do better in
meeting client’s satisfaction

Jan 13, 2020 - Updated Review on Mr. Interlock Landscape

This is a follow up of my 1st review given to Mr Interlock Landscape in
May 2019. Amir & I discussed issues that were my concerns of the job done. The resolutions are: continuity of the interlock stones all the way to the shed, excavation, removal & replacement of the garden soil on the 3 garden plots, removal & replacement of the patchy sod with Kentucky bluegrass. I’m deeply grateful to Amir & his crews for making my project a priority in resolving all my concerns, in satisfying & meeting my expectations. With this I highly recommend Mr Interlock for being a reliable, dependable & responsible company, who cares of their clients.

Thank you, Mila for your feedback. At Mr. Interlock Landscape & Construction we are committed to delivering a superb service and experience to our customers. This has been validated by the collection of positive reviews we have amassed over the years. If you feel as though we fell short on our commitment to do so, I do apologize and I intend to sit down with you to understand and mitigate your concerns. A few days ago I received a link to an email with your review and as you can imagine I was taken back by your experience. Since then I have called you, emailed you and last night stopped by your house to meet with you, all to no avail. This is how committed we are to our customer experience, we don’t want to let another day go by with you being dissatisfied.


Out of respect for our company and our 10 years in business, there are a few things I do need to highlight.


> We began your project in November and due to weather constraints, I was unable to complete your project on my original projected completion date. We experienced an unusual amount of rain mixed with a light snow combination and unfortunately, that impeded our timelines by 7-8 days. This is not something that was within our control. However; our commitment to showing up whenever the weather allowed us to was in our control and we did just that.


> The Kentucky Blue Sod, triple mix and compressed topsoil that were used on your project were purchased from Fair Greens Sod Farm which is one of the largest and most reputable sod farms in Ontario.


> It states in our contract that we do not warrant sod and planting as its success is contingent on a variety of variables that are outside of our control. Some variables include but are not limited to, homeowner watering, homeowner maintenance, pets, insects, pest and weather. No sod in the market provides anti-weed growth as this falls under the perpetual maintenance category that any homeowner will have to do on their lawns.


> The black material you describe in your review is landscape fabric which is naturally used for a variety of reasons on a landscape project. Some reasons include drainage, being a separation barrier between gravel and soil to name a few.


> All excavation depths including gardens are pre-discussed before us beginning construction. Furthermore; we do daily scope validations where we show you progress on finished installations and builds. We do this to address any concerns during construction rather than post-construction.


> If there ever are any concerns we are accessible via email, phone or text and typically respond to our clients within 24 hours.


Although there are several things that we found to be inaccurate in your detailed account of events, out of respect for you I don’t want to continue to attempt to debunk your entire experience. I would rather sit you with and work on a resolution because at the end of the day your satisfaction is all that matters to us.


Hoping to hear from you soon.

Front Entrance and Driveway

Great job by Amir and his crew. Very happy with the results. They adhered to their schedule and budget and were very communicative throughout the project. Also respectful of the neighbours and left nothing for me to clean up. Will be looking at them to do my backyard project when I am ready.

Chris was our job site manager.His attention to detail, eye for design and construction knowledge produced a result we are very pleased with.Chris builds things to last and cuts no corners on foundation materials or design layout.He to is a great listener, patiently listens to your ideas and explains what can be done to meet any reasonable request.His work ethic and commitment to doing a great job is amazing.

Landscaping and driveway

We previously had Mr. Interlock do waterproofing and refurbishing of our porches at our old house and we had since moved 4 years later. When it came time to work on the driveway and landscape of our new house I called Mr. Interlock again without hesitation.

I was so confident in their work that I did not bother quoting with anybody else. The team was professional and courteous and patient with my requests and questions. And most importantly their work is second to none.

I highly recommend Mr. Interlock for your landscaping needs. I’ll be calling them again for projects to come in the future!

Thank you Amir, Chris, Saad, and team for a job well done.
