Having tried to do some of this work myself this was a lot of work, is labor-intensive and very wet/muddy/dirty so I thought they did a great job for the price they charge. They had some delays getting to perform the work due to equipment problems but none of the work I required was time-dependent so I didn't care. I don't have any other perspective to point to than my one and only experience so far when it comes to punctuality. I am going to hire them a few more times over the next several months to complete the "shore restoration" job. It's unique work that they do and I would recommend Martin to anyone else.

There is little more to say than this guy was the most professional, and courteous subcontractor I've ever used. I've remodeled two homes now and Martin really went above and beyond. When he came out I told him what i wanted done and he said sure, and it would take about four days. His daily rate is $450 and he would pump all the vegetation out and haul it off for that amount. I said I only budgeted for two days and I asked him if he would just do the two days and to see how far he could get. He had no problem with that and got to work in a couple days. The work was great and he cleaned up everything perfectly. What really impressed me the most was, after he was done he didn't want paid until i was totally satisfied, which i was was, but after i paid him he stuck around for another good 45min showing me how to care for the lake myself. He even brought over a catalog i could order from and circled which ones for me to buy in order to have it look pristine throughout the year. He does not use the chemicals himself but was more than happy to show me how to use them and what each one would do and how they are safe for the lake etc. I'm really glad to give him such a great endorsement because rarely do you get the best service for the lowest price. And I did get three bids and he was the lowest.

Swimmingly. Martin is eager to help and even piled some old kitchen cabinets on top of the weeds he hauled away. In essence he is interested in doing the job right, not just putting in the hours.

He uses a underwater pump to uproot the weeds. He does not use chemicals. Very good, and thorough and very well priced.
