So Green Canada (Landscape Design / Build)

Gus and crew did an excellent job a few years ago designing and creating retaining walls, patios and walkways for our Etobicoke home. Competitively priced, showed up on time - every day. Great staff and eager to customize as the project advances. So good that our neighbors also used Gus. Reliable and honest trades people are hard to find. Would work with Gus and SoGreen again.

Gus did a great job for us last summer. We have large heritage house that had never been properly landscaped. Gus gave us a good estimate for laying a natural stone patio and installing an in-ground spa, among other improvements. Most importantly, he did the work on time and as promised, with no extras or unexpected surprises. He has good esthetic sense himself and a nice eye for detail, so he gave me solid advice about a lot of things (like the the best tree species, correct step heights, how to properly lay a randomized pattern, outdoor light placement) that I didnt necessarily know about. On top of all that, hes a nice guy and a good communicator. I would definitely recommend Gus to anyone doing a high-end outdoor project.

Gus suggested improvements before quoting the job. He provided a timely quote (and the most detailed). Work site was tidied up each day, which kept good relations with our neighbors. He did a quality job and we will hire him for the next job.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Here is the trench drain So Green formed and poured for me. I rarely write reviews, but this one-man show named Gus that pretends to be a large company has wasted so much of my time that I feel obligated to warn others.

Gus and his team did a beautiful job landscaping our front and backyard with lighting and plants. We were totally sold on his detailed design and his attention to details. There were hiccups along the way especially with the scarcity of resources and materials; hence we had to make multiple changes along the way. That being said, Gus worked with us throughout the entire process and kept us up to date and informed with changes. He also provided alternative solutions that were invaluable. In the end, we were glad that everything turned out well!

If you are looking for detail and quality, we definitely recommend So Green Canada for your landscaping needs. You will not be disappointed! Gus is very professional and amazing to work with and goes above and beyond to meet client expectations. He is very knowledgeable and knows how to make a home look beautiful.

Thank you Gus and team for all the hard work you’ve done to make our home look attractive! We can’t wait for you to come back to complete our backyard with the green and purple dawycks in Spring 2022!

From my initial consultation to the completion of the project, Gus was extremely professional and hard working. From meeting me at the stone yard to select the exact colour, designing a beautiful natural stone retaining wall and suggesting a second set of stairs along the side of the house- he thought of everything. His knowledge of plant/tree varieties was amazing a well and really finished off the landscaping nicely. We are beyond happy with the work that was completed.

We have contacted So Green Landscape last year and asked for an estimate on steps resurfacing.
The reason we chose So Green after an initial interview was because they were professional, gave us options on choices of material, but most of all, they were realistic about what was possible and when we would be getting our steps done.
We agreed that the old stones would be removed in the fall beasuse they were loose and presented a danger, and new stones will be put in spring of this year as soon as the weather allowed.
We were contacted in March and the steps were put in less than a week.
We love our new steps and the neighbours are stopping to admire them and asking for So Green's contact number.

This is our 4th house and let me tell you that Gus and So-Green are the best contractors we have ever worked with... fast, clean, respectful, honest, the work is as planned and on-budget. What else could we ask for? A high high recommendation from us to you.

My husband and I interviewed several contractors over 2 years but decided to hire Gus. He was very pleasant to deal with and very easy to communicate with. His pricing was not cheaper than the others but he seemed very trustworthy and gave us lots of ideas. The project started and completed on time and the work was excellent. We are very happy with his work. Our front yard is envied by our neighbours and some took his contact info too. Even after a year when I contacted him, he was willing to bring me the armour stones I wanted for the front without hesitation. Would definitely recommend him to others

I was looking to do a driveway with a permeable paver that hasn't been used much in Toronto, the Ecobloxx. Gus stepped up and did the research and met with the product rep to find out more about the Ecobloxx. He came to the house multiple times to go over the project and explain the pricing, even giving me helpful suggestions to improve the final product.

We didn't end up doing a driveway project as we are waiting until next year when our neighbor does their landscaping work as well. However I'm sure if I did hire Gus he would do a great job as described by the other reviews here. Out of the many landscapers we talked to, Gus seemed the most genuine and helpful.
