The paving stones are beautiful! We have 2 water fountains that we wanted to spotlight. Ricardo designed a curving, raised second tier across the back fence line. The water fountains sit up on that raised tier in each corner and are surrounded by container plants. The project turned out great - better than we could have imagined. In the paved area, there is an underground catch basin for underground drainage out to the front street. Ricardo's crew cut paving stones to place over the catch basin's grate. The way the stone were cut just didn't look quite right. We thought about it for a few days but we were not comfortable with how it looked. We contacted Ricardo and he was very responsive. He sent a crew back out and they re-cut stones for over the grate which we appreciate. It looks wonderful now! Ricardo and his crew were all very nice, professional, timely and responsive to our requests. They did a great job and we couldn't be more pleased.

We have used them a couple of times. The first time, we had them do some planting in a small bed in the front of our townhouse, as well as spreading mulch and doing some trimming and clean up including removing a large shrub. The second time, we had them refresh the gravel n the pathway to our patio, replant the beds around our patio, and install an irrigation system. One of the first things that impressed us is responsive Byron's is. In both cases, Ricardo was able to come out the next day to give us an estimate (including coming out on a Saturday). Then, he was willing to have a crew to come out that day, or the next day to get started. Both times, the work was completed in a couple of days. The second thing that impressed us was that both times, we got much more than we expected. The first time, all beds were mulched thoroughly, and everything was cleaned up beyond our expectations. And in both cases when they have done planting, they have provided many more plants, and in a great variety, than we were expecting for the money. Each time, they left our property neat and clean, delivering a definite wow factor. Finally, we really appreciate that while different crews may do different things (irrigation versus planting, for example), Ricardo always starts and finishes the process, making sure everything is satisfactory.

They drilled a hole under the walkway on the northwest corner of the walkway to run a pipe along a trench to the middle of the yard along the fence where another deeper gravel pit was established about 25' from the house. The pipe was then extended to the border of my property (another 25') ending in another overflow gravel pit. To catch all the water running from the roof of my 20x20' patio, both gutter downspouts were connected to a pipe laid at a right angle to the pipe along the fence. It took about a week to complete all the work and I am happy to report that during past rain storms no water entered my garage. The work was done very professionally. Mr. Hebert is very good in explaining things. He and his helpers are very friendly and their good work is very much appreciated. Mr. Hebert did not use heavy equipment and the project involved a lot of digging. However, he took great care of my sprinkler system pipes and electrical wiring system, which were in the pass of the work. He cleaned up any debris and took it away. I would refer Mr. Hebert for similar work.

What he failed to mention is that this is NOT something he usually does. The final product was so bad that I demanded that he come back to redo it. His workers told me that he was rushing them to complete the job whenever I was out of earshot. Even though he came back and re-did the job, it still looks terrible. He did not account for the height of the edging material and the gravel and sand have spilled over into our driveway so that there is are empty spaces between the flagstone pieces. This is an embarrassment to us as our neighbors' flower beds are obviously professionally done while ours look like a DIY project gone wrong. We now have to pay a professional to fix Mr. Ermis' "work." After spending $630, this is certainly no small thing.
UPDATE: In September 2012, someone walked up our driveway, removed a stone from the flag stone border Mr. Ermis' men had installed, and threw it down a grate in front of our home. We live in a small, gated community where it is difficult to just walk in and vandalize property. No one else in the neighborhood reported any issues that day. So, it seems our property was targeted. Coincidentally, Mr. Ermis and his men were working in our community that very day.

Stone and Gravel questions, answered by experts
Cobblestone can be made from many different types of stones but the most common ones, by far, are granite, basalt, limestone, and sandstone. If you are laying a brick paver patio or other such project, the medium is different. It’s rare, but cobblestone can also be made from marble, slate, jasper, and other types of rock. Technically, you can make cobblestone from almost any type of rock, but if it is weather-resistant and stands the test of time is another question entirely.
You can turn a red brick white through a process called whitewashing. Whitewash isn’t a stain but rather is made from water and white latex paint. Adding more water to the mix will make the solution look lighter when applied, and adding more paint will make it look more white.
Yes, depending on the type of pavers you have, you may need a specific type of sealant. For example, concrete pavers will bond differently than clay pavers or faux stone pavers and will demand a different type of sealer. If you’re unsure of the material and what type of sealant you need, you can contact the company that laid your pavers down for you.
Stone can last anywhere from 15 to 100 years before it needs to be restored. You should clean your stone flooring or countertops regularly using cleaners designed for stone surfaces. Stay on top of vacuuming to prevent scratches from deteriorating stone faster, deep clean your stone surfaces using a pH-neutral cleaning solution at least once a year, and reseal the stone every one to five years, depending on foot traffic or usage.
If you’re attempting to mix and pour your own mortar, expect to pay between $5 to $10 for an 80-pound bag of mix. The cost to repair mortar, however, can range from $300 to $500 for a 20-square-foot wall. The larger the area and the more extensive the repair, the higher the cost.
