"Alex was very quick to come all the way up from Delaware on a Sat morning to give us a quote. He really knows his stuff and did an excellent job. 3 catch basins, regrading, topsoil,seeding, french drain. Corrected some previous work we had done by someone else a couple years ago.He had some great advice and ideas for us. Lawn has never been drier! We had a pond in the backyard every time it rained. What a relief!"

He gave me an honest assessment of what was going on, and the level of work needed, but it was pretty obvious to me that he didn't want the job, either. I got a little education out of it, but he never sent me an estimate and never contacted me again after leaving.
