Gus Amro and his crew have delivered on time and in keeping with his original quote with exceptional results.

We highly recommend Gus for any landscaping projects that you may have. **Comment from So Green Canada (landscape design /build):** > Hi Judy , > > many thanks for your wonderful review Highly appreciated . > yes it has been almost 20 year since we've met and started serving thru the years , Wawoo time do fly , it feels like yesterday . > I am glad that you are pleased with this your front yard main entrance and it rrealy turned out great with the added space and most importantly its functional and serve your needs . Hope you and Nino enjoys it for years to come . > Enjoy the summer and wish you all the best . > Gus .A **★★★★★ — Judy Calafiore, July 2023** > We have worked with Gus three times over the past twenty years as we completed projects to relandscape our front and back yards. Our most recent project involved removing grass and installing a large patio. This was complicated by the amount of slope in the backyard and our desire to have a relatively flat patio for seating. Gus totally came through for us once again. He worked with us every step of the way from the design phase to project completion. To say we are thrilled with the end result would be an understatement. Thank you Gus and your team! **Comment from So Green Canada (landscape design /build):** > Hi Judy , Nino > It was a pleasure working with you as well for the 3rd time , Great couple to know and work with . Your taste and touch in selecting material and plants as well helped us a lot. hope you enjoy it for years to come and wish both a healthy and safe years ahead . cheers , Gus **★ — Raymond Zar, June 2022** > A picture is worth a thousand words. Here is the trench drain So Green formed and poured for me. I rarely write reviews, but this “one-man show” named Gus that pretends to be a large company has wasted so much of my time that I feel obligated to warn others. **★★★★★ — C Karpel, Dec. 2021** > Retaining Wall, Steps and Landscaping > From my initial consultation to the completion of the project, Gus was extremely professional and hard working. From meeting me at the stone yard to select the exact colour, designing a beautiful natural stone retaining wall and suggesting a second set of stairs along the side of the house- he thought of everything. His knowledge of plant/tree varieties was amazing a well and really finished off the landscaping nicely. We are beyond happy with the work that was completed. **Comment from So Green Canada (landscape design /build):** > Hi Carla > Many thanks for taking the time to write this review about your experience > hope you enjoy the project for years to come . **★★★★★ — Ruby Pandey, Oct. 2020** > We had front , backyard done last year.

The design was creative, the best of materials were used, and the workmanship was excellent. It is the envy of our neighbours, and ours to enjoy for many years. It is designed to be great for entertaining, low maintenance, and handsome all year through. It is a complete rebuild of the previous garden. It was a challenging job -- integrating a series of retaining walls and flat spaces so they appear all as one. **Comment from So Green Canada (landscape design /build):** > Hi Mrs Morgan , Ian > > It was a pleasure working with you on your back yard project and driveway , from designing to completion . Many thanks for taking the time to write this great review and adding the photo . > As you have mentioned the job is on a steep hill as well area and space is tight , we made sure that material selected can be worked with on this project . It turns out looking great . COLOR , texture , custom poured concrete steps ..all worked and blended well > Many thanks for the invite last weekend Saturday to your back yard small party and having invited so many of your neighbours for a drink and food to share your joy of this beautiful back yard . This is very kind and thoughtful . Almost 10 years now since we have done your front yard , and now you have completed all the work around the house .

Hope you enjoy it for years to come . Thank you > Gus > So green **★★★★★ — Don Galinsky, Feb. 2018** > Gus Amro and his So Green crew helped us turn our backyard from a crumbling wood walkway into a garden that is beautiful to behold. A place to sit on a lovely patio, glass of wine in hand and enjoy the sun, grass and flowers. The sun we always had but Gus supplied the rest. **Comment from So Green Canada (landscape design /build):** > hi Don , Toby > Many thanks for taking the time to write a review about your experience with our company & thank you those few lovely words and support . > I am glad that the major transformation that we have done in your back yard is now a relaxing retreat for you and your family to enjoy spring and summer and be a comfort place for a glass of wine and nice book to read . cheers > Gus **★★★★★ — Jonathan Ng, Jan. 2018** > Gus and his team did a professional job, excavating, replacing previous patio stone work. He then put up new interlocks in the front, side and backyard patio with a retaining wall and water management system, including landscaping and fence repairs.
