Business ProfileforGTA Landscaping

** *** *** ******* *** *********** ***** ** ***** ********* ** ***** **** ******** ******** We hired GTA Landscaping this spring to do our front yard and backyard hardscaping and deck and after years of renovating our home top to bottom, we can say, hiring GTA was the biggest mistake we have made. The work started well, we had good conversations with the project manager and saw good early progress. As GTA received payments, their enthusiasm for our project decreased as did the quality (the crew started doing more damage; breaking windows, denting our garage siding, scratching our garage floor, etc.). We had to ensure someone was home at all times to catch mistakes (wrong colour stone installed, poor finishing, leaving our driveway gates drooping, etc.). We ended up firing them after they ‘completed’ our driveway and it was clear that we were on different pages on what a quality effort looked like. The moment the asphalt went down, we knew it was done improperly - it might have been this crew’s first time. There were horrible rake marks left after paving, the grading was completely off and there were seems from multiple paving installments which were visible. The improper grading caused our newly renovated basement to flood. When we raised it to GTA, they made empty promises to resolve and then ignored our attempts to contact them for weeks. They had most of our money at this point, so why would they act? Vlad (owner) has zero integrity. He is argumentative, interrupts constantly and is unwilling to fix the blatant mistakes of his unprofessional crew. The attitude of his crew is a testament to his leadership - they were ****, difficult to communicate with and worked a full noon to 4pm work day. **** ******** **** * ********* *** **** ****** ***** ** **** *** ** **** ******** *********** ***** ****** *** ** *** ***** **** *** *** **** **** **** ***** **** ** *** ** ********* We learned a tough lesson on this project and hope that others will learn from our mistakes!
