WILLIAMS LANDSCAPE CONTRACTING & DESIGN

quality of construction was fair.

1.  Mr Williams ordered more concrete block than was needed -  he overestimated the wall area. We made him refund us some of the material costs.

2.  He did not pay the concrete block supplier for the costs of the blocks.  Supplier unsuccessful in recovering payment for 5 months from him.  Now we have a Mechanics lien filed against our property by the supplier to recover costs. 

MR. WILLIAMS RETURNED OUR INITIAL CALL IMMEDIATELY AND CAME TO GIVE AN ESTIMATE QUICKLY. COMPANY DID NOT SHOW UP ON THE FIRST DATE SELECTED. COMPANY BEGAN WORK 5 DAYS LATER. MEN WORKED STEADILY FOR 1 1/2 DAYS. CLEANED-UP CAREFULLY AND REPLACED SHRUBS WELL. THE WALL LOOKED WELL-BUILT, HOWEVER, THE DAY AFTER THE WORK WAS COMPLETED, WE HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE FACING OF THE CAPSTONES. A CALL TO THE COMPANY WENT UNRETURNED AS DID OTHER SUBSEQUENT CALLS.

ACCESS TO OUR BACKYARD IS VERY LIMITED (NO WAY TO GET LARGE MACHINERY IN, OR ANYTHING ON WHEELS LARGER THAN A WHEELBARROW) -- SEVERAL OTHER CONTRACTORS WE HAD ASKED FOR ESTIMATES FROM SIMPLY DISAPPEARED AFTER AN INITIAL MEETING. SINCE WE WERE NEVER ABLE TO EXTRACT AN ESTIMATE FROM ANYONE ELSE, WE HAVE NOTHING TO COMPARE TO THE PRICE WE PAID, BUT IT SEEMED REASONABLE TO US UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. JERRY AND HIS CREW WERE ALWAYS ON TIME, WORKED HARD WHEN THEY WERE ON THE PREMISES, AND LEFT A NEAT WORK AREA AT THE END OF EACH DAY. ALL WERE EXTREMELY POLITE AND PROFESSIONAL. AT THE END OF THE PROJECT, ALL STONE, ROCKS, ETC. WERE COMPLETELY CLEANED UP/HAULED AWAY. WE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH OUR NEW STONE PATIO. IT'S VERY ATTRACTIVE AND IS ORIENTED SO RAINWATER DRAINS AWAY FROM THE HOUSE (WE'VE KNOWN OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS ISSUE). WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND WILLIAMS.
