What recent reviews say

Most reviewers praise Royal Stone for skilled, punctual work on patios, driveways, and landscape design, with detailed attention and daily cleanup. Named project managers Patrick, George, John, Angelo, and Pino earned consistent acclaim for professionalism and seeing jobs through on budget. However, a small number report serious defects appearing months after completion, unresponsive management when problems arose, and steep costs for pool services relative to competitors.

Strong five-star reviews praise experienced project managers like John and Evan for clear communication, meeting timelines, and delivering polished pools and outdoor spaces. However, one-star reviews document serious problems: unmet promises, design changes forced mid-project, and crews leaving structural issues (pool leaks, poor grading, incomplete work). Accountability appears inconsistent. The business shows excellence when paired with named project managers but carries real risk of poor outcomes when handled differently.

Most customers praise Primrose for punctuality, skilled crew performance on interlocking, tree removal, and snow work, plus quick response from Fred the owner. Complaints centre on detail work: inexperienced crew accidentally destroyed plants during weeding, spring cleanup quality wavered, and one customer faced aggressive behaviour from staff during a snow job.

Julian and Adamo lead a crew that handles large-scale backyard and driveway projects with daily presence and meticulous execution. They deliver comprehensive stone and hardscape work, decks, fencing, and sod on schedule and to agreed budgets, with owners often personally managing communication and design decisions alongside clients. Strength is consistency: reviewers highlight the same crew showing up daily, finishing clean, and standing behind their work. They serve homeowners and builders across the GTA doing everything from simple retaining walls to luxury cabanas with integrated fire pits and pools. One review rated the work as "mid"-the sole non-five-star rating-leaving the broader picture overwhelmingly strong but not entirely flawless.
