From a young age, Milko began working as a Stonemason with his father in his home town of Ilok, Croatia. He continued to master the craft over the next 15 years throughout Croatia and Germany, becoming well versed in the European quality, craftsmanship, and style of masonry. After moving to Canada in 1996, he quickly realized the opportunity to apply his talents to the Canadian market. Over the next 22 years, Milko operated K Masonry and Stonework, offering services throughout all aspects of masonry and stonescaping in Fergus and the surrounding areas.

Today, Milko remains an integral part to Sinovi Masonry and Stonescapes, responsible for day-to-day operations and the training of apprentices to ensure his years of knowledge and skills are passed down to the next generation of Stonemasons. Through his master craftsmanship and teaching, Milko is dedicated to ensuring Sinovi continues to provide clients with the integral aspects of heritage and tradition within each and every one of their masonry projects.

Mihal’s journey in the landscape design and build industry began at the young age of fourteen while working alongside his father, Milko, during his summer breaks. Having developed an interest in landscape construction over those summers, he began looking for a full-time position within the industry following his graduation from high school.

After some searching, Mihal became employed with Tumber & Associates Ltd. as a Stone Mason. Over the next eight years, he progressed within the company from Stone Mason, to Project Manager, to General Manager, and was eventually presented with the opportunity to purchase the company in 2016 – an opportunity he couldn’t pass up.

After two successful years with Tumber & Associates Ltd., Mihal approached Milko with the idea of developing a partnership as each saw an opportunity to provide a superior service within the masonry and stonescaping industry if they were able to join their respective skills. As such, a partnership was created in early 2019, resulting in Sinovi Masonry and Stonescapes.

Today, Mihal is responsible for the overall strategic planning of the Sinovi Masonry whereby he is able to apply his knowledge and experience gained from Tumber & Associates Ltd. to the company. Mihal is passionate about the development of small businesses into industry leading companies and looks forward to exploring the opportunities presented by this newly developed partnership.

Garrett’s journey in the landscape industry originally began with Tumber & Associates Ltd. where he gradually progressed from working as a general labourer during his summer breaks to being the company’s Business Manager following his graduation from the University of Ottawa’s Telfer School of Management.

Following Mihal’s partnership with his father Milko, and the rebranding of K Masonry and Stonework, Garrett was approached to take on the responsibility of being the Business Manager for Sinovi Masonry and Stonescapes. Today, Garrett is involved in the day-today activities and management of the company as well as long-term strategic planning related to marketing, finance, client services, human resources, public relations, and overall business development.
