## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this contractor's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Helpful, quality and quick work removing a few smaller trees, explained clearly what they would do and then did it - aside from the work done would not even know they were there (great clean-up!). Thank you :)"
> Source: Anonymous (5.0, via HomeStars)

> "The work was extremely well done. Thank you Merkley Wilson for getting the gardens and lawn in shape for the winter. We will get in touch with you to do our spring cleanup!"
> Source: Jane Brownrigg (5.0, via HomeStars)

> "Cameron saved our bacon! We forgot to winterize our sprinkler system this year. Cam answered our request and within hours was at our door. He proceeded to blowout the sprinklers in the dark. Not an easy task given that they were lying hidden under our first snow fall. He was thorough and made sure the lines got drained even though the heads didn’t pop right away. He ran the compressor a few additional times just to make sure the job was done right. We fully recommend Cameron for your sprinkler jobs."

## Before you hire a landscaper
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Get an itemized quote that separates plants and materials, any machinery or skip hire, and labour. A vague 'garden makeover' lump sum hides where the money goes and makes extra charges easy to add later.
- Be wary of paying a large sum up front 'for materials'. Agree staged payments against work you can see completed, especially for hard landscaping like patios, decking, paving or driveways.
- Tree work and anything near a boundary can be regulated. Protected trees and conservation areas often need permission, and removing a protected tree can be an offence. Confirm what is allowed, and that they carry public-liability insurance, before work starts.
- Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire.
- A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay.
