We are a ways out of the main Tucson area and I had seen  this companies ad in the local paper for quite sometime.  They had a web site which mentioned free estimates so I set a brief discription of what I was wanting done.  A couple of day later, the owner call and we set an appointment, he was running late for the apporintment and he called to see if that would be a problem to make it an hour later which was ok for me.  We met, walked the entire property.  He wrote up a proposal and we agreed on a price which included a down payment,  I signed the agreement, gave him a check for $1,200.00.  One thing we did not do was to write on the contract the exact date the work would start,  I understood it would start early the following week, I called him and discussed the issue, it was agreed on a start date. The following week they started the work and in approx. 4 + days they had finished.  They were delayed one day due to a cold rainey front came through.  He called me and told me the problem with the weather, they were back on the job the following morning as the weather had cleared.  Once the work was completed, we walked the property, I noticed a couple of areas that needed a little more work, he had his men take care of it right then, once I saw the work was completed to my satisfaction I paid the balance of the contract.

In my experience they never once showed up at the times they said they would and it's been a month and the work has still not been entirely completed. They originally said it would take 2 1/2 to 3 days. They were originally going to spray the grass twice before they removed it. To my knowledge it was never sprayed. When they finally got started, they came on a Monday and scraped all of the grass into piles. The rest of the week was windy and I literally had to clean buckets of grass out of my pool. The following week they came and laid fiber mats over most of the lawn and brought in the gravel and spread it. The raised garden was built. After a few more days installed the automatic sprinkler system, but it didn't work correctly and they screwed up my existing drip system. They were supposed to come and fix it twice, but haven't showed up in over a week. They do average to good work and the workmen, when they are here, seem to be very conscientious, but I can't recommend them.
