OVER THE PAST 39 YEARS . . .
Over the past 39 years, ALL-PRO Landscaping & Carpentry Ltd. has been designing and constructing beautiful, functional custom landscapes for more than a thousand clients who have entrusted Angelo Tersigni and his landscape construction team with their outdoor living spaces and home curb appeal.
...........
...........
ABOUT US . . .
FOUNDED IN 1985 BY NICOLA TERSIGNI AND 21-YEAR-OLD SON ANGELO, ALL-PRO Landscaping & Carpentry Ltd. specializes in working with clients to enhance the beauty and functionality of the landscape elements that complement and add to the enjoyment of their homes.
>> As sole owner and operator for the past 37 years, Angelo continues to honour the family values of integrity, diligence and quality that are at the very heart of ALL-PRO Landscaping & Carpentry Ltd.; the company he founded with his father 39 years ago. Those values have stood the test of time and continue to translate into satisfied clients. And we are honoured that ALL-PRO is now being called upon by the next generation of our client families to help them with their projects. Angelo personally oversees each project from start to finish.

About 80 to 90 PER CENT of the projects we complete each year originate from:
1) previous clients who come back to us with ideas for new projects, and
2) homeowners referred directly to us by our clients (this doesn’t include HomeStars leads).

On average, ALL-PRO Landscaping has the capacity to commit to approximately 20 to 40 CLIENT PROJECTS EACH YEAR (depending on the scope of the projects).
...........
...........
A FEW NOTES ABOUT QUOTATIONS . . .
Angelo personally handles quoting and sales. Hours of work are invested in a typical quotation. Rather than providing homeowners with a bulk dollar amount for the entire project, Angelo goes the extra mile by presenting a detailed, typed "contract specification sheet" that breaks the entire project into individual components that specify the materials/dimensions and pricing per component. The quote also specifies applicable warranty, HST and payment terms. Ultimately, for homeowners who choose to entrust their project to ALL-PRO Landscaping & Carpentry, this quotation document evolves into the signed client contract, usually after a number of refinements to align more closely with the client's aesthetic and budget.
> At times during the season, Angelo may temporarily suspend quoting so that he can focus exclusively on current projects and on quotations already in hand.
In this scenario, our office manager invites homeowners to circle back to us at a later date if they are unable to find another contractor with whom they wish to proceed. She also compiles a waiting list of those homeowners who wish to meet with Angelo when he begins quoting again.
...........
...........
IS ALL-PRO LANDSCAPING A GOOD FIT FOR YOUR PROJECT?
During the peak spring/summer period, we receive approximately 20 to 30 quotation requests PER WEEK, sometimes more.
Many of these we need to decline for a variety of reasons. For example, the project site is outside our core service area, or our schedule is already booked during the homeowners’ desired completion timeframe, or the project is not the kind of work we do.
When non-client homeowners reach out to ALL-PRO Landscaping to request a quotation, we are very grateful. We also respect their time and want to ensure that we are a good fit for their projects. So our office manager will ask a few questions before including their information on Angelo’s quotation request call-back spreadsheet . . .
.
Q1. WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?
Each year, we must decline many quotation requests from homeowners located outside our service area.
Please refer to the “CORE SERVICE AREA” note, above.
.
Q2. DO YOU HAVE A PROJECT COMPLETION DEADLINE THAT YOU NEED TO MEET?
Some homeowners are working towards a particular project completion deadline such as the date of a backyard wedding or the arrival of visitors from overseas.
> This is important for us to know up front, because the homeowner's desired time frame may no longer be available on our schedule.
.
Q3. HOW MANY QUOTATIONS ARE YOU OBTAINING?
Conventional wisdom usually concurs that obtaining two or three quotations is prudent for homeowners who do not yet have an established relationship with a trusted contractor.
We respectfully decline to meet with homeowners who are obtaining more than three quotations.
.
Q4. WHAT KIND OF WORK WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE DONE?
We focus on "HARDSCAPE" construction projects, such as:
=> patios, walkways, steps, porches, garden walls, retaining walls, driveway borders/driveways constructed with precast concrete products and natural stone products.
=> decks constructed with pressure-treated, cedar and composite decking products.
For hardscape projects, we can also incorporate the following:
=> sod, mulch, triplemix, riverstone, ornamental rockery.
=> synthetic grass (usually Rymar Durablade 95 S-Shaped Synthetic Grass).
=> fence and gate structures, constructed with with cedar, pressure-treated or composite materials, as well as custom-ordered ornamental iron fencing from Medallion Fence.
We do NOT install the following:
=> Asphalt. We refer our clients to two trusted companies.
=> Stamped/patterned concrete.
=> Extensive plantings. While we can certainly do some planting of trees and shrubs as part of our hardscape projects, we refer our clients to trusted horticultural technician-designers for extensive garden design.
.
Q5. WHAT IS THE SCOPE OF YOUR PROJECT?
The HomeStars company PROFILE format includes a field for “PROJECT MINIMUM”.
> For prospective clients, we have set $5,000 as the minimum.
> For our previous clients, of course we are glad to come back to help with any landscape construction job, no matter how small.
> We appreciate that some homeowners may be unable to gauge whether or not their project would be above the $5,000 minimum threshold. Our office manager might be able to help with this when you describe the kind of work you would like to have done.
...........
...........
MEETING WITH ANGELO . . .
Angelo's QUOTATION REQUEST CALL-BACK LIST is updated by the office manager. On that spreadsheet, each request she enters is tracked by initial date of inquiry.
> CALL-BACK TIMEFRAME: During the construction season, Angelo strives to touch base with homeowners within two weeks of the date of their initial inquiry logged on the Quotation Request List (unless he had already placed a temporary hold on quoting before the inquiry was received).
> MEETING TIMEFRAME: During the construction season, Angelo does his best to integrate quotation meetings into his existing project work schedule. Client work always takes priority for him — something which prospective clients are sure to appreciate. During the offseason from approx. December through March, Angelo does quite a bit of quoting for the upcoming season, weather permitting.

During the peak season, Angelo combines jobsite work with sales, scheduling, purchasing, transportation, HR, client relations and other aspects of the business. He is at the jobsites daily. Multiple projects are usually under way. Clients deal with Angelo directly on anything pertaining to their projects. He manages the project schedule, calculates and places the orders for project materials and determines crew member assignments each day in consultation with his onsite Team leader, Dan. His Class AR driver's licence also enables him to minimize production disruptions by serving as the supply lifeline for the jobsites: delivering materials from manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers (paving stones, flagstone, wall systems, steps, boulders, rockery, gravel, screenings, lumber, fencing, topsoil, triplemix, sod, etc.), transporting equipment and materials between jobsites and ALL-PRO’s staging yard in north Ajax, and hauling project debris to transfer stations, for example. He integrates quotations into this schedule.

CATEGORIES: Interlocking Stone, Landscape Architects, Landscape Contractors & Designers, and Masonry & Bricklaying
SERVICES: We specialize in gently curving walkway, patio and retaining wall footprints and terraced patios and semi-circular steps, all of which require intricate masonry cutting. ............................................. >>> We help our clients "make a dramatic entrance" with their homes’ curb appeal. We can, for example, transform a builders’ plain concrete front porch and threshold with beautiful square-cut flagstone or interlocking pavers. We can also soften the lines of an asphalt driveway by framing it with an arc-shaped "cape" of pavers that extends across the front of the garage and down the edges of the asphalt area; or, we can install pavers throughout the driveway area! Strategically placed garden bed walls can wonderfully complement the overall look. .................. >>> And we can wrap that aesthetic around the sides of the house to the backyard to create a beautiful, private outdoor living oasis for our clients to relax, entertain, and enjoy precious family moments. ................................................................................................................................................................................... CONCRETE PRODUCTS & NATURAL STONE PRODUCTS: We construct our clients’ hardscape elements with quality materials, both manufactured and natural. .................................................... >>> CONCRETE PRODUCTS such as pavers, slabs, wall systems, coping, steps, etc. are manufactured by (in alphabetical order): Best Way Stone (BWS), BROOKLIN, OAKS, PERMACON, TECHO-BLOC and UNILOCK. ............................................................................................................................. >>> NATURAL STONE PRODUCTS such as square-cut flagstone, coping, and steps are from a variety of sources. We also install Natural Limestone Armour Stone excavated by Kawartha Rock Quarry in Buckhorn/Trent Lakes, Ontario. ................................................................................................ >>> As part of larger projects, we install Washed River Rock and assorted rockery accents, as well as sod, mulch and triplemix from various sources. ..................................................................................................................................................................................... DECKS: Our clients can choose from cedar, pressure-treated lumber or TrexTM composite decking for their deck installations. For decks that are attached to the house, deck plans must be approved via Building Permit from the appropriate municipal jurisdiction building office. We can recommend a BCIN certified designer to our clients who have not already worked with one. As an alternative to a deck, clients can opt for a raised stone patio-terrace. ..................................................................................................................................................................................... For larger hardscape projects, we can also incorporate perimeter fencing and privacy screening into the project scope. We install cedar, pressure-treated lumber and composite fence materials, as well as custom-ordered ornamental iron fencing from Medallion Fence. We respectfully decline invitations to quote on fence-only projects. ..................................................................................................................................................................................... While not glamorous, grading and drainage are vital considerations in any landscape construction project. ..................................................................................................................................................................................... Exterior lighting can add drama and elegance, while aiding in easier navigation of your property after twilight. Any electrical connections, however, need to be installed by a licenced electrician hired by our clients. We can refer an electrician to those clients who do not already have one. ..................................................................................................................................................................................... SWIMMING POOLS: Different clients have different approaches to their pool areas. On the one hand, we design surrounding landscapes that enhance our clients’ enjoyment of their pool oases. On the other hand, we fill in pools no longer wanted by clients for a variety of reasons. .....................................................................................................................................................................................

Angelo and his team installed precast steps on a hill leading into the backyard. This is the third project that All Pro has completed for me (which in itself speaks volumes of my regard for their work). As with the previous 2 jobs, the work was completed not only quickly, but also meticulously.
I would not hesitate to recommend All Pro to anyone.

Still thrilled with our walkways and patio

Decorative Concrete review in Ajax

I still love all the work that Allpro did on our walkways and patio. It was a year ago that Angelo and his crew ripped up and installed new pavers in our front walkway and patio, side walk and steps. It still looks like new and nothing moved over the winter. I have seen other work done in houses in our area and nothing compares to the work dkne by Allpro. I highly recommend them.

Approximate cost of services:: $28,000.00

Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We are so happy you that you are pleased with your new patio and walkway!

Pool Fill-In

Swimming Pools, Spas & Hot Tubs review in Toronto

I recently had Angelo and his crew complete a pool fill-in project. From the moment I met Angelo I felt I was in good hands. His communication with me before, during and after the project was very much appreciated. He understood my needs and expectations and saw to it that they were fulfilled.
His crew are excellent. They were very professional and easy to approach. They left the job site neat, organized and clean each day.
The project was completed on time and within the stated price.
I would not hesitate in recommending Angelo and his crew at All Pro Landscaping.
Thanks guys.

Backyard Pool Landscaping

Landscape Contractors & Designers review in Pickering

09/20/2022

At the beginning of the summer we had a pool installed (by a pool company), and hired All-Pro to complete all the landscaping around the pool. This involved a large area of pavers around the new pool, which were tied in to the existing pavers along the side of the house (also completed by All-Pro a few years ago). The project also included the construction of an outdoor fireplace. The work was done quickly, professionally, and the result is spectacular. We are very pleased with the work done by All-Pro and would highly recommend them!

Every time I step outside or come up to the house, I'm left speechless at how lovely it looks. We've had so many compliments from neighbours and even from people driving and walking by the house. Angelo, Dan and the rest of the crew are AMAZING. Ideas were given (which were REALLY appreciated it!) on how the front should look. Work was done quickly, property was left clean. A wonderful company to work with! Looking forward to our next project with All-Pro.

Interlock/landscaping

06/02/2022

During the COVID pandemic we removed a large wooden deck in our back yard and were trying to find a contractor who would take on replacing the deck, along with various other projects around the outside of our home. Based upon a recommendation from a friend we contacted Angelo, who went over the project(s) and gave us sound advice and pricing. We contracted with him to do all of the work. This consisted of removing/discarding a large amount of old interlock, re-cutting, cleaning and sealing existing interlock around our pool, side and front walkways. The back yard was re-graded and a new interlock patio was installed/sanded and sealed. Sod was laid where necessary. The jobs were carried out in a timely, extremely competent, and congenial fashion by Angelo's amazing crew. We appreciated the fact that the work site was left neat and clean at the end of each work day. A special thank you should also be extended to Ann in the office for her help and support. We would highly recommend All-Pro for your landscaping needs.

We were lucky to find Angelo and his team last year. He helped us with a number of projects at our house and we found him very easy to work with and very experienced in all things landscaping.
Would definitely work with him again!
