"My deck was in bad shape and we weren’t sure if the foundation was solid or not. We discussed options if it was/was not OK at the time of quote. It did need replacement. Communication was good throughout and it’s beautiful."

"Micah Dean came out and gave me an estimate.  When it came to discussion of replacement plantings he did not seem to be very knowledgeable.  He suggested including day lillies.  I requested varied colors.  He said he didn't think they were available.  Oakland Nursery nearby has at least six colors and online, dozens of colors can be found.  Oh well, his estimate was considerably lower than others so I signed on the dotted line...even prepaid so that the work could be done if I was not in town.  Micah promised to call at least the night before to let me know when they were coming.  He called on the Morning of the 24th and said they were on their way to my house.  I was an hour and a half away at the time and so by the time I loaded up and came home they were almost finished.  They had not done some of the work around the deck but had done a lot of other stuff that had not been discussed.  That part looked great so I said fine but I still wanted the work around the deck done.  The work crew was pretty defensive saying that they only do what their boss tells them.....okay, that's fine.  I called Micah and he came out later that night and finished the job.  Obviously he did not supervise his crew......and I didn't get back in time to oversee or this could all have been prevented.  Quality of the plantings was not the greatest.  Plants were unevenly spaced with several too close together and some of not very good quality.  Their estimate was by far the lowest of the three I received so I guess I got my money's worth but if you hire these people, just know that you are getting bargain work for a bargain price.

"They did a good job.  The only thing that bothered me about them is I had told them that I wanted to be here when they did it and they came at a time when I wasn’t here and as a result, our backyard has a fence around the back of it and our yard area extends like 5 to 6 feet on either side of the fence and they didn’t do the aeration or fertilization or the seeding outside the fence area, so there was a fairly large section that they missed."

"This company has very good business practices, did a great job and were courteous and professional. I definitely will use their services again."

"Very pleased with painting job and would use them again. Paid $30 for an extra hours but was very happy to get both rooms done."

"Quality work ,neat, and tidy ."

"When they started the project, the concrete which was already cracked, seemed to be coming up pretty well.  When that was removed, they found a lot more gravel under the concrete than they anticipated so it was an additional time and expense to remove that.  The garage sill had to be repoured and they began installing the correct type of gravel and pounding down the base.  Being  April, it rained a lot in there and it slowed the progress as you can imagine.  Can't do much about the weather.  I also had some blocks on my garage foundation that were loose so they refilled the mortar to stabilize the foundation. This is when we found that the gutter drain pipes were broken and clogged.  They installed new piping and we cleaned out the remaining pipes before installing the pavers.  By having the "O" in the middle, it made for a lot more cuts and took some additional time but it was worth it.  They sealed the driveway and finally they installed the sod around the edges.  Along the way Jake had to deal with a major personal issue but handled it very well.  Jake and his crew did a very good job and handled all the little things that came up very professionally.  I don't know of any other contractor who would have worked with me the way they did.  In my opinion, they provided me with a great finished product and I would use them in the future.
