They arrived when they said they would, they used quality materials, they cleaned up EVERY DAY before they left, and they wrapped up in roughly 5 days. The final product looks amazing, and made my 30+ year old house look brand new. In fact, my neighbor (who watched them every day when they were removing and pouring my new driveway) was so impressed with the workmanship that he had his driveway and sidewalk replaced by them, too.
The ONLY improvement I could suggest is different seed. When Widdoes finished my job, and that of my neighbors, they backfilled, graded and seeded the disrupted areas. We found the seed to be more weeds than grass when if finally came in, but I just bought a bag of quality seed and used it the areas.
I would strongly urge you to at least consider this company for your project.
Our project went extremely well. During the estimate, Mr. Widdose sought to understand our expectations and explained everything that needed to be done (and why) so we had a full understanding of what to expect. Mr. Widdose (Rick) had no issues with providing requested info regarding licensing and insurance. This was very important to us as some of the contractors we contacted could not do so. He also provided a detailed estimate; his work was true to the estimate. They arrived to do the job when he said they would. All old concrete was removed and replaced. This included the front stoop, landing and sidewalk. They also replaced our garage floor and rear patio - installing the drainage pipes underneath it. They were very respectful of our property as well as our neighbor's. They disposed of all removed materials and topsoiled, graded, and seeded all disturbed areas. Rick and his crew were professional in every way - punctual and respectful. Their work ethic and skills were topnotch. He also educated us in the proper care of the new concrete to ensure years of durability. Although the highest bid we received, I would use them again and recommend them highly.
