Perma Landscape Paving & Construction

John was a delight to work with and responded quickly to emails and questions. He and Sam put in a 45+ ft retaining wall in 2 days, including removing the old timbers, digging the footing trench, adding the gravel, installing the blocks and backfilling behind the wall. It looks great!

Would not hesitate to call John again for any future jobs.

After meeting with & considering many contractors to complete our landscape project, we chose to work with John at PERMASCAPE and his team.

We're very happy with our decision.

His demeanour is pleasant & he took much time listening to our needs also made some great suggestions.

The work included a new concrete garage floor as well as interlocking stone for the driveway, front walkway and back yard patio.

He helped choose a stone that would match and complement our home.

He offered a few designs for layout and we chose one which we find very practical for our needs.

As promised, he has been back to revisit the project to make sure all is going well with the work completed.

We would definitely work him again and I would recommend him to others looking for a reliable contractor.

I contacted John with regards to powerwashing, adding sand, and sealing our interlock driveway and front porch. He responded promptly, listened carefully to my concerns, and walked me through the entire process, giving several options as to how to proceed. Within several days, he followed up with an inspection of the property and provided further feedback on how best to complete the task. John and his team of professionsals went above and beyond our expectations. Our driveway and porch has never looked better! The colour of our stones are vibrant! The sand between the stones, even the hardest to reach of places have been perfectly filled. Even after all the rain we've had this year, it amazes me to see the water bead off our driveway! This is testatment to his company's hardwork, and dedication to their craft, and attention to the smallest of details. Thankyou PermaScape!

We took on the services of Perma Landscaping because we had need of updating our rear yard. The experience they brought to the table was worth its weight in gold, they had drainage solutions and a strong command of design to bring to life the use and aesthetic of our yard. We are now able to maximize its use and made the investment a pain free one.

I had John visit with regard to our driveway paving, an interlock walkway + patio.

The design options offered were to my liking and their estimate was fair. 

The work was completed in a timely manner and budget did not exceed what was quoted. 

We are pleased with their work and I would definitely hire them again when needed.

John is pleasant and appears knowledgeable.I used them for paving repairs, landscaping and sealing. When they worked they did a decent job, however when I had to get them back for finishing touches and warranty work, it became very frustrating. Overall I would not recommend Sealer People, as they don't keep appointment times and don't neatly finish off jobs. Whats a 2 yer warranty worth, if you struggle to get service?

I hired this company to do a backyard patio installation. The work was completed a couple weeks past agreed end date in contract. Other aspects of the agreed project were not completed without prompting. Lastly due to an issue with digging for drainage pipe, the contractor was to provide a partial refund and as of the time of thi review, hasn't been received.
Overall the job was completed and patio looks nice but I can't recommend this company due to issues mentioned above.
On an aside, I would recommend that with all projects that you make sure that your contract is as detailed as possible.

I emailed John through homestars on Wednesday, got a reply Thursday and also called him as well. Spoke to him on the phone regarding my situation and he was on site by Friday afternoon. I called Friday morning to confirm our appointment, and despite him being down a person and a bit behind schedule he still was able to make it within the time frame he told me. So A+ for communication and punctuality so far!

Very friendly, down to earth and willing to listen to what I had wanted to do.

I had wanted to get my asphalt driveway sealed as I live in a townhouse with a shared driveway. The person I had bought it from had done a very bad job of sealing before and the line dividing my side of the driveway with my neighbors was all curved giving me less of a driveway then my neighbors.

My neighbors for god knows what reasons seem to always have about 4+ cars on their 2 car townhouse driveway (they also have interlock) that seem to have license plates from Florida, Virginia, New Hampshire and a bunch of other places. And of course they always parked right on the line if not over, which so happened to curve right into my share of the driveway making it a pain to pull out and in from. Its incredibly annoying coming home and seeing a crammed driveway with someones bumper sticking onto my side too.

John and his crew did a clean up of all the dirt on the driveway to make sure there was no debris while sealing. He also used wood boards to make sure that he did not over spray onto my lawn, my house or anywhere else except onto my asphalt driveway.

Most importantly for me, he helped me to measure out the driveway to make sure of where our line should exactly be divided. I didn't want any disputes with my neighbor, and John was spot on while setting up. He used tape to line it all up, made sure that I took a look and was satisfied with how straight it was then it was onto the spraying.

My driveway now has a clear contrast with my neighbor, and looks as good as new as well as straight as an arrow right down the middle as I needed it to be. Yes I know it may look a bit funny having a driveway look "half sealed" but thats the price I am willing to pay if it clearly ensures my property line is clear.

John took the time to understand my annoyance at my neighbors infringing on my space, and also had some other suggestions to further help make clear the lines if I wanted to go further. It goes a long way when someone doesn't come barreling in does a rush job and sticks their hand out to get paid. John was the total opposite of this, and even though this was a relatively small job it meant something to me and he took the time to care for it like he cared just as much as I did about my property.

I also had a conversation with John regarding potentially putting in interlock and the process and would definitely call him in the future when I am ready.

If everyone was charging the same price, the most important difference then would be whether the job is done right. I have no question that what John says he will do, he will do it right or make it right. You get what you pay for, and John is worth it.

I would not hesitate to recommend or use John again, and in fact I have already spoken to a friend about him.
