Caught one of their trucks emptying whatever they had into the field across from my house. Once I stopped to get a picture they quickly stopped what they were doing and fled. Too bad for them I got pictures and evidence of what they did.

Work was acceptable but I would never recommend them again. Trevor is a horrible person and likes to yell at his customers and blames them for the company’s mistakes.
They did a job for me and left a bunch of clay hidden between my garage and shed. But that not the worst part.
I recommend him to my 87 year old mother and things went well until the billing. They billed her over $7000 dollars for a job quoted at $3500 plus tax. They insisted she pay them over the phone and hadn’t given her a bill. They also didn’t tell her about the 2.5 percent that they charged her for using the card. My mom would have given them a cheque.
Absolutely horrible to deal with, they caused my elderly mother a bunch of embarrassment with her bank and then don’t want to straighten it out. Trevor says take him to court.

Very friendly and helpful over the phone. They were able to schedule us in very quickly during the great summer floods of 2026 which was greatly appreciated. They put in a new window well drain (looks great and works good so far) and filled in some foundation cracks with polyurethane grout (left a bit of a mess inside though).

Elms company parked a Mack dump truck next to a playground and left it running and unattended for over 50 minutes. It was in a legitimate parking spot and there was no construction happening in the immediate vicinity.

December 13, 2024. Temp was -2 C. Daylight hours (starting at 2:11 pm).

They apparently refused to turn off the truck when asked to by the developer because they claim/believe that you can't turn off diesels.

I actually really, really want to know the rational/thinking behind this belief. I have been unable to find any evidence-based references for it, but I don't know the best places to look for engineering-type documents.

For example, if it has turbo, yes, it should have 10 seconds of idling before you turn it off (max 3 minutes if it is really hot). After a heavy pull, diesels might need a cooldown period but unloaded and driving on Edmonton streets is presumably not a heavy pull.

If you can provide a legitimate rationale, I would greatly appreciate it (e.g.from the vehicle's user manual, a recent textbook for training heavy equipment mechanics, a recent technical or scientific publication).

Your vehicle was a 2013 Mack dump truck. I was able to open and slam the cab door at least 3 times without any workers noticing, so children would definitely be able to get in the truck unnoticed.

Had Elms install weeping tiles, sump, and window wells for me. Spent a lot of money on it. They incorrectly mounted the window wells, as they set them on the ground which was newly backfilled, the window wells of course collapsed when the ground settled. Messaged Trevor to come and fix them and he said that it was done at the end of last year so it’s too late and that a final grade would’ve prevented it. The correct way to install window wells is to attach them to the foundation. They damaged the vinyl on the side of my house, wrecked my down spouts, they busted a window (which took them six months to have repaired). They ripped off an intake vent for my furnace, came to fix it and replaced it with an exhaust vent (which has a flap that prevents it from sucking in new air, they eventually came and fixed it), destroyed my bird bath in the backyard and didn’t say anything about it, broke a fence post, took a few swipes off the sod on the side of my house when they were supposedly grading, they didnt backfill around the house properly so it’s sunk in massively even though they’d left massive piles of dirt up to it. They brought a lot of dirt to my yard while they were working, I asked them what it was for and they told me that it was for the grading, turns out they were dumping fill on my yard, I’ve pulled 15 yards out of my 1,000 sq ft backyard just to get to where the grass used to be. Their version of a rough grade was just embarrassing, other contractors I had around looked at the work of Elm’s and laughed at how bad it is. I asked Trevor Elms if they’re going to stand behind their work, and he blocked me, so I guess that answers that question.
