My husband and I hired M.E. Contracting to completely re-do our backyard. They removed our 45-year-old pool and replaced it with a beautiful new fiberglass one. The rotting deck was also removed. They built a retaining wall and leveled our property for us which now gives us a larger backyard. They also demolished our old shed and built a new one. The space was finished off with beautiful stones and garden beds. We are extremely excited to use our new backyard this summer. Our backyard was a huge eye sore and now we feel it will be the gem of our property. Hiring M.E. Contracting was the one of the best decisions we ever made. With such a huge project, there are so many areas where things could go wrong. We always felt in great hands. Daryl was our project leader, and he was fantastic. Any questions we had were answered in a timely manner. If there was something we did not understand, Daryl always explained things clearly. All the team members that were working on our property were wonderful, professional and personable. From Blake and his team to Freddy and Dean and all the other wonderful men whose names escape me. This was a huge project for us, and we are so happy we had the project done by such a reputable company. We never ever lose any sleep worrying about the backyard or if things were done properly. There is value in peace of mind that things are done properly, professionally and to code.

Possibly the best company I have dealt with in my life. Everyone at ME contracting including owners Karen and Eiton and project manager Daryl treated this project as if it was their own home. Their answer to every little detail we wished for was "No Problem, We can do that".
Thank you Daryl and everyone at ME contracting for making our backyard an oasis for my family to enjoy.

If there were any high points of the COVID 19-year 2020 year for us, it was our decision to retain M.E. Contracting for our backyard landscaping renovation. From beginning to end this group of highly skilled professionals transformed our backyard into something that we can be very proud of. Our interactions with Eitan, the owner of M.E. Contracting, and Daryl, our Project Manager have been very positive in all respects. Pre-construction, we were invited to visit the beautiful showroom of M.E. Contracting, where we met Eitan, looked at samples of PVC deck colours and paver stones, and had an opportunity to discuss various product options. Nothing was too much trouble for this company.
All onsite team members involved with our project, specifically; demolition, removal and replacement of our old deck to PVC, preparing and planting our new gardens, constructing the hole, retaining wall and cement base for a large inground swim spa/pool, and construction of the paved portion for a beautiful patio were hard working, professional and obviously seasoned trades people. At the end of each phase of the project everything was left tidy and safe for people to access the area. Daryl was always available and often on-site providing direction and input when required.
My wife and I praise this company in all respects, they are first rate, and we would not hesitate in recommending them to others.

We starting speaking with Eitan from ME contracting when COVID hit and camps were closed. We had contemplated a pool but the new reality made the decision. Eitan came right away for a site visit and offered expert opinion on pool sizing and placement. We then visited his amazing showroom to look at the pool, choose colors, see turf options and more. We had built a deck two years prior and Eitan designed within those constraints and made thoughtful recommendations to maximize space and sun exposure. While waiting for the pool to arrive Eitan made multiple visits to our house to answer questions, advise re: tree pruning, privacy planting, lighting, firepit and stone. He guided us on where our money was best spent. Eitan’s team (Brenda and Daryl) helped with the city permit submission and gave advice on following up to ensure it was in place. Brenda was diligent on following up with the pool distributor ok delivery timing. Once the pool arrived the team hit the ground running. Within three weeks the backyard was 90% done and they worked even on the weekend so we could take advantage of a hot day at the end of September for an early birthday party for our son! Eitan was on the job almost every day and his team including landscape supervisor Blake, electrician Dean and pool maintenance expert Freddy were reliable, accessible and easy to work with. Eitan and his team did not leave the project until all finishing details were done and we were completely satisfied!

My plan was to find the right size pool (plunge pool) to incorporate into my small backyard. After having seen an unrelated project in the city that was being managed by M.E. Contracting I called to see if they could assist me with bringing my project to reality. They not only helped source out the perfect pool for me they walked me through the various options in their own one of a kind showroom. They then began the planning and ordering of all materials so that when the project started they were able to complete all aspects and then some by working morning to night every day until the project was complete without any delays. Once they broke ground they asked my opinion everyday to ensure I was happy as the work progressed. It sometimes meant adding or moving items within the yard but it was just their way of ensuring I was totally satisfied with the finished product. Their expertise in the design, materials, and installation were outstanding but having them listen to what I wanted ensured I was happy and then some.

We hired M.E. Contracting to transform our backyard into a beautiful family oasis. Eitan and his team exceeded our expectations. They were professional, honest and reliable. They built us a brand new deck, redid our stone patio, put in a fabulous new pool and built us a cabana all 4 weeks. Eitan had his various crews here every day and they worked long hard hours to complete the job all while making sure that the details were taken care of. I would not hesitate to recommend Eitan, Keren and M.E. Contracting to anyone! Thank you.

Daryl and his team transformed our unusable backyard into our own private outdoor getaway. M.E. Contracting did an amazing job with our backyard, from the design to the construction, which included a swim spa, deck, fencing, stonework and lighting. M.E. Contracting was professional and helpful and the quality of their work was outstanding. Everyone was great to work with, including Keren who helped us choose the materials for our backyard, Brenda and Dorit who assisted us in choosing amazing patio furniture. We would highly recommend M.E. Contracting.

ME did a complete renovation of our back yard and we couldn’t be happier with the final result. They were a pleasure to deal with and completed the project on time and on budget. If there was a change we wanted they were happy to comply. Highly recommend them!

Our front porch, railings and walkway were due for an upgrade and we knew when we came across ME Contracting they were the right choice and they didn't disappoint! The experience with our initial showroom visit, constant updates and the overall professionalism was top notch. Most importantly their finished job is perfect and we're really happy. Thanks Eitan and ME....great work!!!

An exceptional experience. Created a backyard oasis, complete with a swimming option in a backyard not really suited for a traditional swimming pool. Every aspect was done well, from concept to completion, everything was done professionally. The crews were great, friendly, efficient and clean. A pleasure to deal with
NO hesitation recommending ME Contracting to anyone looking for a landscaping overhaul for their home

We called ME Contracting after finding them here. Their reviews were quite impressive. Our backyard was in dire need of attention and redesign. With two very young children in the family, the yard was unsafe.
We met initially with Steve Peacock who provided us with a quote. From there he worked with us to get the quote to a place where we felt comfortable to pull the trigger on the job.
COVID-19 hit and the job was put off due to the uncertainty of the economic environment. Once deemed essential, Steve reached out to us and told us that they could comfortably begin the job. He always assured us that our family would be safe. Our deadline was very important to us as we had a baby coming on July 6th. Not only was the job done well, within budget and the outcome looks incredible, but it was also finished on time! We truly could not believe it as most jobs take longer than expected.
We loved working with Steve and ME Landscaping.

Commented: Treatment?Cedar does need to be treated. We didn't treat this one, as we don't come back to do any staining. That is up to our clients to maintain.
