Ace Grading and Landscape Center

This job went poorly from the start. It did not start when planned. I never got a formal contract and that was my error. We had days when workers did not show up at all and some days with only one worker. The owner, Jared Dean, only popped in for short periods and was not there to supervise the workers. There were changes in the original plan every day when we came home from work. By this time the project was half done, we had over $10,000 invested, the yard was looked like a bomb had gone off and truthfully, we felt held hostage by the situation and did not know what to do but try to humor the contractor and pray. After 2 months of work during the severe drought in the fall of 2016, the job was pronounced overbudget and "done". We had damage to the house from heavy equipment, damage to our trees which he promised to work around cable lines cut and cut again, utilities that he said were marked but turned out to be in a most inconvenient middle of the larger wall that he had to work around, He promised repeatedly that he would come back when it finally rained to fix any problems and he did once but bigger and bigger problems surfaced and POOF, he was not taking my calls. I have deadman beams that are not covered with earth or gravel, the wall is crooked and shifting, the parking was not where it was supposed to be and way larger than requested. It is what it is. Don't make the same mistake I did. Get a contract. Insist on paying with a credit card that will back you up. And don't use Jared Dean of Ace Grading
