What recent reviews say

Every review spotlights the same pattern: Samir leads a crew that shows up on time, works efficiently, and leaves no mess. Patios, retaining walls, fences, and tree removal all land finished ahead of schedule and within the quoted price. Reviewers praise his eye for design tweaks they hadn't imagined, his calm communication during unexpected issues, and a team that respects the property while handling details most contractors skip. No complaints appear across 20 reviews.

What sets KSJ apart is the consistency. Samir stays involved, keeps clients in the loop, and his crew cleans as they work. Jobs that seemed like headaches to previous contractors become stress-free under KSJ's hand. Porch installations, pool patios, deck replacements, interlocking work, tree and stump removal, fence building, window wells, and even dog-approved artificial turf all draw the same refrain: professional, hardworking, detail-obsessed, and done when promised.

Experienced technicians like Daryl and Ron earn strong praise for irrigation repairs and installations, with some clients reporting 20+ years of service. Office coordination fails repeatedly: appointments disappear, promised callbacks never arrive, and billing disputes surface often, especially for routine fixes marked up significantly.

Andy's Snow Blowing and Lawncare Ottawa

4.1(185)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Most customers report Andy's shows up on time, clears snow proactively after every fall, and communicates clearly through regular emails and SMS updates. A vocal minority cite repeated no-shows, delayed arrivals (hours after promising to return), minimal clearing effort (one pass instead of multiple), and poor coordination around vehicle moves. Staff treat customers with genuine care, including extra attention during personal emergencies. The management responds to feedback over years and retrains crews on property respect. Pricing is published by driveway type, though exact amounts are marked TBA. Long-term customers often stay loyal despite occasional seasonal hiccups.
