I would like to state that not only did we allow the use of our basement to these men so they could eat, store their tools, and use the hot water so their hands wouldn't get too cold, we also made them hot cocoa frequently, and gave them both Christmas bonuses and bonuses for staying late to finish our job. Mike Halliday frequently felt comfortable opening our back door and calling me, coming into the house several times. I ended up locking the doors upstairs at all times so he couldn't walk in. In addition, Bluehill balked at work they really didn't want to do like moving the old pavers from our patio to someone else's home instead of taking them to the dump. (We paid them extra to do so). We also paid them to do our leaves in the fall and those leaves were left in large piles on the side of our home. Ultimately, we moved them but they killed our grass. Our intention was to have Bluehill back to do some landscaping work for us this spring, but I will never have them back. I would not recommend them anyone. The work is very nice, but not worth the price or abuse.

The apron washed away in places and needed to be replaced. Again, he had excellent ideas, and we decided to go with them. He could not get to the driveway immediately but filled it in sufficiently for us to use in the meantime--at no extra charge. When the City of Charlottesville sent three inspectors who said three different things about what the city required, he dealt patiently but firmly with them (this is an election year, and he knew how to press his advantage). The job is now complete, and it is a pleasure to look at it. The apron is expertly done, the stone edging on the right side is flawless, and we have bright golden crushed stone on the driveway and mulch on the right edge. It looks very nice.

European Stone Concepts replaced our kitchen counters a few years ago and we were very happy with them, so when we wanted to replace Formica counters in two bathrooms, we didn't hesitate to contact Glenn Laskin & co. They came and measured within a few days, then came back to install the...

Kennard returned my original call right away and came out to look at a potential issue with the stone on our house. He was prompt, very knowledgeable and professional. He determined that the work needed was maintenance and we did not have any significant issues. The crew was great! Very...

While the stone work provided by Bluehill is beautiful thanks to two very talented workmen, Armondo and Juan, our satisfaction with our job was greatly tarnished by the owner of the company. Mike Halliday is unprofessional and rude. Bluehill left large amounts of stone, scraps of stone and...

I am a one person operation. Having been in the Green Industry for 39 years, I have come to the conclusion that the best way to take care of a client's needs is strictly hands on work. I will occasionally bring in day help. Payment is upon completion unless it is a large project then partial payment at start. I also install vegetable gardens using our own compost mix .
"Couldn’t have hired a more professional or knowledgeable person for the job. I thought I had purchased all the supplies needed for the job but was missing a couple very important items. Mike happened to have them on his trailer and didn’t hesitate to offer them for my lawn. He is a hard worker and knows exactly what he is doing. I recommend him 1000%!"

"I hired Jovel to build stairs, retaining walls and planters connecting my existing patio to a new patio that I also hired Jovel's company to build. The stairs, retaining wall and planters were completed in September. In October, I had a licensed inspector at my home for another project and he pointed out that the stairs Jovel had built did not meet code. The inspector stated that stairs must be of equal rise and the lower and upper stairs were not in acceptable range with the other two. He also stated that three or more stairs required a handrail and that the stairs were POOR construction. Jovel has refused to correct the issue or refund any money paid. Please see pics for inspection report."

FAQs for stone and gravel service projects in Earlysville, VA
The average cost of a gravel driveway is about $1.25 to $2 per square foot, including the cost of materials, equipment, and professional installation. For example, a 16-by-30-foot driveway costs about $1,500. Cost factors include the type of gravel, how thick the gravel is installed, the condition of the landscape, and labor costs. Overall costs will vary depending on where you live and how accessible the job site is.
Because gravel moves, it requires different maintenance than asphalt or concrete. Here are a few maintenance tips for your gravel driveway. Every few years (or as often as needed):
A gravel driveway should last for up to 100 years with proper upkeep, which is minimal. Maintaining a gravel driveway includes grading and adding fresh gravel to fill in potholes. Otherwise, a gravel driveway holds up well to all kinds of weather. Plowing in the winter can be challenging and the gravel can develop ruts or potholes that need to be repaired, but the cost and longevity of gravel compared to concrete, asphalt, and pavers makes gravel an economical option, especially for long and/or wide driveways.
A gravel driveway should be at least 4 to 6 inches deep, depending on the soil it’s installed on. Softer soil that doesn’t drain well should have a deeper gravel driveway. Deeper gravel will mean you spend more on materials and labor, but you’ll get a more stable driveway and avoid damage that needs to be filled or graded flat again.
