Lee Landscaping group

Lee came highly recommended by a number of people in the South Scarborough area. After reviewing his work portfolio on past jobs we thought he was the right man for the job, we quickly found out this was further from the truth. We hired him in May 2014 to complete our patio and retaining wall around a tree.
On a personal level we found Lee to be a nice guy and has potential of delivering great results, unfortunately we did not receive this.
We were very disappointed in the end results and the professionalism of Lee’s crew. We understand that Mother Nature is not on our side all the time but as an outdoor contractor you need to consider this when booking jobs. We were under the impression that the crew was going to work into the Victoria Day long weekend to complete the job before moving on to their next job, which didn’t happen. Basically there was not enough material ordered, instead of going back and getting additional material he took the short cut and didn’t complete the job properly. The retaining wall was slapped together since they wanted to finish up to get out and enjoy the May long weekend. The cuts in the natural stone were done poorly. We did express our frustration a number of times and unfortunately the bottom line was that he didn’t care. I even asked him if he was proud of his work, the response was nothing. We ended up doing the clean up ourselves and also our neighbours property since she was also affected (an 89 year old senior). We attempted numerous times to contact Lee and if we did get him he promised time after time that the job would be done to our satisfaction. Every time his crew came back they would work maybe an hour and leave without completing the job and left the area a mess. This went well on into the summer. A job that should have taken a week never got done. At the end of it all we ended up completing it ourselves in August by going back and buying the additional material and renting a stone saw at Home Depot. Our biggest mistake was that we had paid him full in good business faith thinking that he would come back as he promised to complete the job. Considering the amount of money we spent our expectations were not met. The reason why I’m writing this review now is that our patio has sunk in some areas. We our fixing this on our own since we wouldn’t even attempt to call Lee back. We know from past experience that we wouldn’t get a response. Based on our experience with Lee we would not recommend him. Find a contractor that takes pride in his work.
