"Everything went as planned and the guys done a excellent job."

"O'Neil's paving is a top notch company. From initial contact to the completion of service, we were given exceptional customer service and quality workmanship. I would highly recommend them to anyone. They are a pleasure to do business with and you will be in great hands."

"The project went extremely well. It was initially planned to start 3 weeks later, but when Adam had an open slot, he slotted our project in (Adam is the owner of the business). We are extremely pleased with the service we received. When initially reaching out to Hard Scapes LLC for an estimate, we found Adam very responsive. He arrived on time to provide the estimate, he listened to our vision for the project, provided numerous suggestions and feedback on our vision. We communicated primarily via email and text messaging and always received replies within a day or so. After a couple months of contemplating the scope of our project, we moved ahead with a plan that incorporated a number of our original thoughts as wells a various suggestions from Adam. The project took a total of 7 consecutive days (excluding Sunday) with a 6 man crew. The crew was excellent. My understanding is that many of the crew have been with Hard Scapes LLC for years with some members being with the company for over 10 years. Throughout the entire project, every team member worked hard and we didn't see any of them dawdle. The crew included a combination of older and younger members, all of which were very professional throughout the project. They arrived early (around 7:30am) and worked until about 4:30pm, taking one break for lunch. We tried to provide them coffee in the morning on the cooler days and they definitely seemed to appreciate that. When I had questions, the crew was very patient and thorough in answering them. They took time to explain what they were doing and why. They were very knowledgeable and clearly very experienced. The project was completed in a meticulous fashion. Before the project started, Adam had our utilities marked off so that nothing was inadvertently damaged. During the project, existing landscape features that we wanted to keep (like plants and stones) were carefully put aside so we could reuse them. Our landscape lighting was replaced after the project was done in a more professional way than it started out (landscape wiring was buried better and they even replaced a segment of our low voltage wiring with brand new wire). Our front yard got a bit chewed up from the tracks of the machines used to haul in dirt, gravel and stones, but when the project was finished, the damaged area was reseeded and covered with straw. No garbage or leftover materials were left behind and the clean-up job was fantastic. Our main concern when initially speaking with other companies was the lack of professionalism. We had companies that did not show up to provide estimates on time, who didn't provide any input or suggestions, and who were not responsive when we were initially discussing our project scope. We went with Hard Scapes LLC because it did not have any of the issues above and are extremely pleased with our choice. We would most definitely use Hard Scapes LLC again for future projects."

"Arrow Paving created a parking lot for us! Great work…!! Completed work in a timely fashion."

"Alberto's services were amazing. Not only did he professionally lay my mulch but he took care of my bush trimming as well. Very thorough and professional. If I could give him 10 stars I would. Will definitely use his services again!"

"Look no further. Gio and his team are the best. He has done multiple projects for us and his pricing reflects the quality of his work. His attention to detail and customer service is unmatched. He did our outdoor travertine patio/pool deck, gas grill, and pool enclosure. Once the project was started he was finished in a timely manner. He is worth the wait and stays booked for a reason. Would hire him 10/10 times. You wonâ t be disappointed. Take the worry out of your project and hire Gio."

"This was an excellent experience from the first conversation through the final “thank you” to them for doing an awesome job in a very professional, efficient and customer service-oriented way!"
