We hired Brad and his crew to install patio stones in our back yard area of our condo. We are very happy and impressed with the quality of the work, the attention to details and the professionalism of his crew. We have received numerous compliments on the finished project
Everything met all our expectations and then some. The crew always cleaned up the work site every night before leaving. We would definitely recommend the use of Outdoor Traditions and we would use them again for future projects.

I have had Outdoor Traditions landscape my back yard over the years and it looks beautiful. I get so many comments on it. Now I'm getting them for the front yard. From cutting down trees, to sodding and planting and helping me with design, Michelle and Brad and all their team are fantastic. Timely, professional, and they stand by their products. I have recommended Outdoor Traditions to several of my neighbours.

Had an interlock walkway installed from our garage entrance to the back deck. An amazing job done by Jay and Jess. Very respectful. Very happy with the job. They cleaned up after themselves each day. Can't wait to get more work done. Thanks Brad et all!

Outdoor Traditions did a fantastic job of outdoor clean up, removal of dead plants and shrubs, garden bed clean up and mulch, trimming of trees and shrubs to make our property maintenance easy for the remainder of the year. Professional staff, timely response and booking, competitive pricing and quality workmanship was seen throughout! Would highly recommend for your future landscaping projects.
