    It looks like Alan and I have come to some sort of agreement that his team will still come and fix…read morethe patio stones one of these days or soon. There were certain mutual misunderstandings. I hope the current unevenness of the patio stones will be corrected, and then I will remove the negative comments on my part. *** The original text: With Ottawa Student Landscaping, I had the worst landscaping experience ever. You can see what gaps they left in our patio. NEVER EVER EVER use their services ! Due to some recent family loss of 2 people and 2 adorable guinea pigs, my critical thinking was really foggy, so instead of checking multiple landscapers and asking each one in advance, I selected these guys. From the beginning, I assumed that they are landscapers, they accept work requests. Again, not thinking clearly and critically, I paid both the first payment before the work and final payment after the 10 x 10 feet patio was done (2 x $1,829.19). When I send the pictures with wavy and wobbly edge on my patio, Alan Guan demanded that only the first 2 hours they can work for free, then $50 per man hour ! Wow ! To fix their own bad work they demand more money, eh ? I realized too late that the patio is done in a wrong place, but Alan Guan said that they are not designers. Wow ! If I clearly heard and understood that they are not designers, I wouldn't deal with them in the first place. NEVER EVER EVER use their services !

    DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY Late April:…read moreI contacted OSL (Owner: Alan Guan, BIN: 1000203720) for a small landscaping project involving a strip of river rocks between my property and my neighbor's. Alan provided a quote of ~$1,100.00. The job included removing existing rocks, installing weed-resistant fabric, washing the rocks, and replacing them to prevent future weed growth. May 2nd, 2024: Employees arrived at 10:00 a.m. and worked until 4:00 p.m. They struggled to clean the rocks due to the excessive mud they dug up. They finished the job, but the rocks were wet and dark, making it hard to see the results clearly. They were paid in full and left. Alan collected his supplies later that evening or the next morning. May 3rd, 2024: After the rocks dried, I discovered a 3-inch pile of mud at my driveway, and the last quarter of the rocks were in a pool of mud, leaves, roots, and debris. Weeds were still present along my neighbour's side (photos). I contacted Alan with a photo. His response was "Sorry to hear this, I recommend picking up a couple of bottles of weed spray from Home Depot to quash any weeds if they do come up in a couple of months. As for the mud, the guys tried their best to wash it as best as possible, sorry about that. The mud should wash off after a few rainy days". May 5th, 2024: After three heavy rainfalls, there was thick, hardened mud and new weed growth. I bought weed killer as a temporary solution and contacted Alan again. He did not reply. May 7th, 2024: I followed up, asking if he was ignoring the issue. He replied "the guys spent a whole day, not sure how we can help further. We can send the guys back to help pressure wash the stones more at a reduced rate". I explained to him that I would not be paying MORE for a service that was not completely adequately to begin with. May 8th, 2024: I sent an email to Alan, but it bounced back. I texted him instead, asking him to fix the job properly. May 9th, 2024: Alan replied, stating he would inspect the rocks but did not follow up. May 12th, 2024: I texted again, asking when he would arrive. He informed me that "Our guys are unwilling to go back, one of them is out of town until Mid June, I would go myself to do it, however I am in Quebec until August for military training." May 13th, 2024: Alan promised to hire another company, stating "I'm in contact with a couple students, I will have someone come this weekend/early next week to fix it up as needed". We agreed they would arrive on May 19th. May 19th, 2024: The new company arrived and had a confusing conversation with my neighbours and decided to call me to clarify. They stated that the job was worse than he thought and wasn't willing to correct for the amount offered. He also stated it was a "horrific" landscaping job. May 20th, 2024: I noticed new weed growth and texted Alan again. He offered to hire someone to fix the issue again. May 23rd, 2024: Still no reply. I sent another text asking for an update. No response. Also informed him of more weed growth again. May 25th, 2024: As of today, I still haven't heard back from Alan. Conclusion: This experience has been extremely frustrating. OSL failed to complete the job as promised and provided no satisfactory resolution. I strongly advise avoiding this company. See attached photos. I will be contacting Better Business Bureau.

    My experience here floored me completely. Consider: I live in California, and had left my mothers…read morebirthday (she lives in Ottawa) to the very last minute. I call up the day before sheepishly wondering whether I could get "Something nice" delivered the next day. The woman on the other end explained that most of the deliveries they did were for interlocking stone, and that it would probably be unreasonably pricey to have some flowers or a plant delivered. But wait: where did my mother live? And what exactly was I looking for? Long story short: an inexplicably kind woman named Sam, and her horticulturalist friend Sierra, Not only helped me figure out what I wanted (here I was the stereotypical clueless male), but also sussed out that Sam lived near my parents, and would be happy to take several plants home with her, and to deliver the goods the morning of my mother's birthday. If you can believe it, there's actually a good deal more to the feel good story, but suffice to say that Sam's kindness left my head spinning. My teenaged daughter overheard to a good bit of the conversation I had when making my order, and remarked: "Canadians are always so nice". Yeah, maybe, but still: that kind of spirit is hard to find.

    Pity the staff here are so terrible. The selection of plants is terrific! However i phoned before…read moregoing looking for a specific plant, told they had it. I arrived and asked where the peony I had requested was and beside waiting a good ten minutes was told they didn't have it. I mentioned that I had phoned and asked and was told that I had in fact NOT Called. Then I tried to buy some other plants that were all priced, got to the till and was told they were incorrectly priced and I would have to pay more. Do not go here unless you want to be annoyed.

    Horrible end to a good start…read more I had sod and driveway done with interlock trim down the driveway. At the beginning it was all help and about the customer, great customer experience and pricing was fair. He started the job as requested, within a couple weeks, and worked diligently. Things turned for the worse when he made a mistake on the driveway and as a paying customer I asked to get it fixed. He did the driveway paving late at night after another job first therefore the asphalt was not as hot, he could not see and he ran out of asphalt. The end of the driveway dipped down lower right before the curb and water pooled at the end. Not only that, but the rolling was a terrible job and left ridges in the driveway. He started pushing back saying I was overreacting and it was not a big deal. I was obviously not happy with the result so asked that it get fixed. Begrudgingly he ripped up part of the driveway and redid the end as well as cutting down the curb a bit to fix the draining issue. He used a compactor instead of the roller, which now the part he patched was compressed differently and pieces were flaking off. I was expressing my concerns when he started to push back and kept saying the original work was done and he pushed to be paid. I was not willing to pay until my concerns were addressed. Without notice he filed to put a lien against my property to push for payment even though I was well within a 28 days of what he felt was a completed job. He broke stones down the side of my house when he drove his machine in the backyard for the lawn work. As he caused the damage, he said he would replace it. He could not find the same stones so attempted to use another stone I had extra that did not match. I was not happy so provided a compromise that instead of him buying all new stones at his cost down that side that he use one from the other side and replace it with another design I had (this this was lower traffic area). He was careless with the work and did not fill the extra river stone around the patio stone as full as I had been asking. He damaged work in the front garden and did not return it the same so I had to ask him to fix it again. I asked the lawn to be raised in certain areas but he did not do it, this was something I had to go out and correct. He pushed back on every decision we had to make to make his job easier. I would NEVER recommend this business to anyone. He is rude, an oppressor and not a professional. Do not hire this company or individual for any job.
