"This was a great experience. Jeff Dame, the owner, was not immediately available to do the work but followed up about a month after my initial call. He and his crew then came out a couple of days later and worked all week tearing down an old concrete retaining wall and rebuilding it. In doing so, they had to dismantle an old fence and fight their way through brush, roots, and a huge ancient rose bush. The crew was always friendly and polite - they even helped my daughter carry some heavy boxes into the house during a couple of their breaks.
Jeff proposed moving the driveway gate, which had become nearly unusable because of the slant of the old retaining wall. The new placement puts it out of the path of the retaining wall and away from the guttering at the corner of the house. He also redesigned the gate to make it easier to open and more stable.
The finished wall and gate are both distinct improvements over the original designs. The retaining wall is now a solid, reinforced structure that should not develop a slant over the years. Jeff even put a facing on the wall to make it more attractive, rather than the bare concrete of the old wall. I had envisioned just a basic replacement, but Jeff exceeded my expectations and kept everything within budget. He and his crew also cleaned everything up well at the end of the job.
I would recommend J&D Masonry and Jeff Dame, and would gladly hire him again.
