stone deck and renovation planting
In 2019, Sterling Landscape (Mike and crew), did an extensive pool deck renovation in my yard. Due to property limitations all the work had to be hand dug and removed. The old patio stones were removed from my deck area Including all the area around the pool. The old gravel, dirt and sub structure was removed to a depth of 14" and replaced with new gravel and limestone. Meticulous care was given to the stone alignment, matching stone texture and colour of the natural slate squares. As this was natural stone, many pieces had to be rejected. Each stone had to be levelled and fitted as each piece was unique. This was very time-consuming, but necessary as bare feet would be running around on this stone. The new stone deck was beautiful, a work of art. Also Mike removed many old junipers and replaced them with new trees; a copper beach hedge, and various unique evergreen species and unusual perennials which all appear to have survived the winter. The deck is perfect after the winter snow and thaw. Mike was open to my ideas, listened to my concerns and was very patient with my questions. His crew was friendly, co-operative and appeared to enjoy working with Mike. Mike is very knowledgeable and experienced about stone design and plant botany. This extensive renovation took over 1 month. At the end of the day, the worksite was left clean and safety was considered. I am so pleased with the outcome of this renovation and will definitely hire Sterling Landscape to replace my fence in the future. Mike showed me photos of fences that he had designed and installed for other clients. These fences were extraordinary in their concepts and quite unique. This company was recommended to me by a friend and I would not hesitate to recommend Sterling Landscape to any of my friends. Considering all the work that was done on this renovation, I feel that his pricing was reasonable (I had other quotes). The team worked diligently to meet timelines. When the job was completed Mike did a property cleanup for no charge and put in extra plants for no charge. He went beyond the confines of the contract that was agreed upon. I highly recommend this company and I will continue to call on them for my future landscape needs.
