Common questions

Will they take on jobs other contractors declined?
Yes. A daycare centre approached multiple companies who declined their playground snow removal due to limited accessibility and manual labour; Groundhog accepted and has serviced them reliably for three years.
Do they notify you when the crew is coming?
Yes, for snow removal they send notifications when the team is en route and again when work is complete.
Can they handle irrigation repairs and winterization?
Yes. Austin and the crew perform irrigation system repairs, relocation, winterization in fall, and offer training on smart controls like B-hyve.

Hollander Landscaping earns strong marks for thoughtful design and coordinated execution on full-yard overhauls. One reviewer reported an unanswered voicemail, but the bulk of feedback highlights a team that stays late, coordinates electricians and irrigation specialists, and delivers results ahead of schedule.

Tree Doctors Inc.

4.6(301)✓ Google-verified

Over 15 years with Tree Doctors means Omar, Bruno, Yandri, and other crew members arriving on schedule with equipment to handle everything from 50-foot spruce removal to apple tree fertilization. Their cleanup is thorough, their pricing undercuts competitors, and they navigate Toronto's tree protection rules smoothly. The friction point is administrative: one customer waited over a month for an arborist report after depositing funds, and another saw services quoted but unavailable 30 days later. Most reviewers see only speed and professionalism, but those dealing with permitting or reporting should confirm timelines upfront.
