"Contractor was over 2 hours late starting every day (momma needed her coffee), was not properly equipped (We provided wheelbarrow, post hole digger, shovel, loppers, garden rake, etc.). Contractor's labor was a 70 +/- small man and the owner's wife (who did NOT want to do this type of work and let it be known). The contractor also damaged the owners septic tank by positioning his tractor on top of the septic tank and causing 2/3 of the septic tank lid (along with the covering dirt to collapse into the tank The contractor was shown the septic system before quoting the work and warned to avoid the septic before starting work. The replacement lids sections cost the owner $1,200.00. When the county inspector inspects the system, it will require replacement of the entire system at a cost of over $15.000.00. The contractor also drove his tractor into the neighbors yard causing several deep impressions in their yard and damaging their septic system. Due to the late start each day, lack of equipment and inadequate labor, many shortcuts were taken. The plants were simply thrown in a hole without the soil being compacted around the roots. Only about half of the dirt was spread with many piles of dirt not spread and left piled all over the yard. The contractor left the job site after dark on 10-15-2024 and promised to return the following week to complete the work. Which he did not do. The following week was the same result He has not returned and after many calls, I ask him not to return. We have replaced 4 of the new shrubs (Costing about $60) which have died in spite of frequent watering As per Angi's List, the contractor is licensed and insured and was rated 5 Star on Angi's List. I have repeatedly tried to obtain insurance information from both the contractor and Angi's List without success."

"5/21/25 When scheduling he gives you a day and not a time. So you have to go back and ask him what time. He gives you a time but he never shows up at the agreed upon time. He was 2 hours late. The time before that he stopped in the middle of my lawn was doing the neighbor's yard and had to go ask him to come back and finish up my yard. Canceled service. 5/22/25 - Update - called me yelling me about this review. He was unhinged, mad, and agitated. Agitated. I tried to explain to him that if he gives me a time he should not show up 2 hours late from the time given. He would not listen. He just was yelling and screaming I had to hang up. He called again and did the same thing so I had to hang up again. The third time he called I just will not take his calls. He doesn't understand that his word means nothing and giving you a time and not honoring that time is disrespectful. 5/22/25"

"I cannot say enough good things about Southern Acres! I wish I could share before/after pictures of the excellent work they did at my house. Like many others after the devastation Helene inflicted, my yard was damaged beyond recognition....Five 40' trees down, limbs, bushes uprooted, etc. Travis, Jake and a small crew worked from early morning to late afternoon (non-stop except for a brief lunch break) to scrape out the debris. They cut back, trimmed, edged, and removed a huge trailer full of yard waste. They then put out new pine straw (rolled, the way I like it) and blew porch, walk and driveway. The transformation was nothing short of incredible. All the while, they were pleasant and professional. The price they quoted was fair, and they more than met my expectations. In fact, I was so satisfied with their work, I had them hired to maintain my employer's various properties. You will not be disappointed if you give them a call. I know I wasn't!"

"He wants money every time he sees you and will talk to you like a dog. He loves making swales with his tractor then charge you like he has installed a professional French drain system. He?s not worth your time or money."

"You could not ask for a nicer crew and people. They take a lot of pride in their work. They do what they say they will and are trustworthy."

"They came here and i had 3 projects for him to do and from the three projects they only did the wood fence for the other two never show up they didn't return my call they didn't answer too much texts messages so they totally ignored me."

"Alpha One Roofing was recommended for our project by a friend for their expertise, work quality, and fare price. We are so happy we hired them. The result is actually exceeds my expectations. I am particularly impressed by their attention to small details. There are so many small things that I would've never considered as necessary or important functionally or esthetically. They know all those details and they build and make things right. I think this is the best proof of their expertise and work ethic. And they charge a very fare price."
