Previous to doing this work for us, Chris & his team installed a paved patio and sidewalk in our backyard that we love. That's why we knew we needed to go to him when we had this job come up.
We highly recommend this company for anyone who needs pavers, stone work or landscaping done. They are reliable and do beautiful work!
"This job was the most difficult job I have ever done. I had drawn five different layout's for her, which she finally decided on one. After completing half the project, she decided to change the whole design. Without hesitation we picked it up, and started over. After many more changes she still was not satisfied. I spent five days longer than figured on this job, with no compensation, We are very good at what we do, and very sorry we could not satisfy this one costumer."
We had previously worked with Chris and his crew on replacement of a failing timber retaining wall with a contoured block version. That earlier work involved demolition and removal of treated posts and lumber while extending a pre-existing section using an Anchor block product. The segmented, angular wall was replaced by a contoured design that provided more room for a prized shade tree. During this initial, 2012 phase, we found Chris very easy to work with. He was receptive to our concepts and offered constructive comments- we didn't want a deferential contractor that would let us make bad choices. Chris speaks up in a respectful way. The crew happily worked with street pavers that were on-site.
That earlier work turned out so nicely that we resolved to continue the project the in 2013 as our vision for completion firmed up. There are obvious advantages to completing the entire job at once, but even using design software, it is difficult to feature how it will all turn out. Change orders and call-backs are no fun for anyone. For us, it worked to live with an incomplete project for a few seasons to really know what we wanted.
The 2013 work would involve constructing low planters in both the front and back yards, extending the patio work in the back yard, adding edgers and completing sod work. Chris returned with the same crew (a plus for us) and was rarely not on site himself during either project. This work was complicated by an impending family reunion. To avoid damaging existing landscaping, most of this second phase was completed with wheelbarrows and hand tools. Once again, there were design and material selection considerations as well as technical issues, including rainwater management. There was no objection to the owners contributing labor. In turn, we tried to stay ahead of the crew or out of the way.
The entire project is now complete- we are delighted and have received nothing but compliments.
