"Very well. The men worked very hard in very hot weather. They completed the job a day early. They always left me a text when they took a break or needed to pick up something and they cleaned up their mess. I am very pleased and will use them when I’m ready to work on the side yard."

"Do not lose your money. It is the worst contractor ever. I don’t know how this person can call himself a licensed contractor. We made a contract, 10% to book my yard work. On the first day, I had to pay 50% and on the last day the remaining 30%, I did pay it as we agreed. The day when he was supposed to start working, he didn’t, he showed up until the next day, he texted me with an excuse. The day he started, he asked me to pay him 50%, I did it, but after that, he didn’t show up until I called and texted him several times, 3 weeks later when he sent two workers, they weren’t doing the right thing and when I told them that, they stop working and leave. Again I had to call and send him several messages to come back and continue with the work. He asked me to pay in full before he finished the job, I said no you have to finish first. It was the same story until he finally finished the work, more than 3 months later, he said he would complete the work in 3 weeks, instead, it took him more than 3 months. He had to redo part of the cement since the door didn’t open and his workers did not close a sprinkler under the cement. After he finished the work, I started having problems with the irrigation system, his workers came back 3 times to fix it and they didn’t do it, I had to tell Alvaro how to fix it. Then the lightning system he installed didn’t work, it made my garage electricity turn off and all the food I had in a big freezer spoiled. I still have problems with the irrigation system, I have to replace most of the flowers since they dry out right away, and part of the cement is cracked. I asked him to give me back part of my money to hire someone professional who can fix what he didn’t know how to do, he said yes but he always gave excuses such as, he doesn’t have money, he has to go to school with his kids, his dog died, and the last one, his wife died, between other excuses."

Rototilling questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can rent a rototiller for around $60 per day and do the work yourself, but it’s not recommended. Tilling is more of an art than a science, as tilling too deep can be detrimental to your soil structure and the organic matter that is beneficial to plants and shrubs, and tilling too shallow won’t properly introduce fertilizer or break up the soil for rooting plants. Additionally, tillers are powerful machines with sharp blades to cut through small roots and soil, so they are inherently dangerous to use. It’s usually worth it to hire a professional rototiller.

Water pooling, uneven surfaces, or basement leaks are indicators.

When leveling the ground for a pool. If the ground is mostly level, you may be able to simply lay down pavers or pool pads to support the pool. However, you’ll still need to level the ground with sand as a base before adding other materials on top, like crushed gravel.

Yes, most landscapers should be able to install French drains. However, it’s best to hire a French drain installation company that specializes in this type of project. You may want to get multiple quotes from landscaping companies to get an idea of the average installation cost before hiring a professional to install a French drain system for you.

Yard grading is a key component of proper drainage because runoff naturally moves with respect to gravity. If you have low spots in your yard, rain and snowmelt will settle there and oversaturate the soil, promoting root rot and fungal growth. If the low spots are near your home’s foundation, you could even end up with foundation leaks or structural damage due to poor yard grading.
