"Mr. Alonso was very personable and sent the bid within 1/2 hour of his visit to prepare the estimate. The price was midway between the least and most expensive bids. Both my husband and I understood that after Alonso leveled the surface, a base would be laid prior to installing the flagstone pavers. Mr. Alonso said that the earliest they could come was September. In fact, he contacted me in July, saying the crew could come the next day, Saturday, July 18. Great! It was a hot day, but the crew, under foreman Jesse, worked hard and fast, moving the flagstone from the driveway to the shady area in the back of the house. They leveled the surface, placed the stones directly on the surface, shoveled some of the scraped soil between the pavers, and hosed everything down. When I asked the foreman about the base, he said, "No, that's not the way we do it. The flagstones will settle into place." After they left, I checked Alonso's estimate again, and there was no mention of laying a base. The workmen had done a neat job and filled the specified length and width over the bare dirt. My husband transplanted moss from other parts of the yard into the gaps between the attractive flagstones. But within two weeks, five of the flagstones became wobbly, and I worried about safely walking on the stones after dark. When Alonso’s learned of my concerns, Jesse came like a flash and re-laid the wobbly flagstones. Jesse explained that the firm lays a gravel base for areas where no plant life is desired, and that the stones will settle better into the bare dirt with additional rain."
