We have a 1/2 acre lot. Although the large grass backyard was very attractive it was not very usable as it sloped away. So we had a limited use yard, a small patio that could only comfortably handle about 4 people. Additionally we were paying for watering and lawn service with no real return. We decided that it would be a better use of the area if we extended the patio. We also thought that it wold be too much concrete so we decided to put a Bocce court in the lower level. That gives us much more use of the area. Our back yard is beautiful and everyone that has been there to visit and/or play Bocce has agreed. The people that did the work were professional, friendly and respectful. We feel like we have new friends. During the construction, we would be apprised of issues and given a choice of solutions. Most of the time these were no-cost changes. Their costs were almost always what they estimated. Most of the cost increases came from my wife and I saying things like "while you at it..." or "can you also build...." When they did not feel completely comfortable with an issue (E.g., they changed a 220 volt line into 2 separate fused 110 volt lines with switches and outlets), they told us so and asked our permission to bring in a subcontractor (and electrician) to assure that everything was done correctly and to code. They told us this during the design process. When things were not done to our expectations, they redid them. A month after the job was done we saw grass growing through an area where the grass was removed, weed barrier installed and covered with mulch. When we called, they came out to see and agreed that it should not have happened and are now in the process of redoing that area. Great follow up!

It was the holidays and he's just too busy. He canceled an appointment. I think it was a combination of the holidays and everything else plus it was a small job for my house. I'm going to do something independently. We shared emails bur couldn't seem to button anything done. The quote was reasonable but he kind of dropped the ball. Sometimes he was responsive and sometimes he wasn't. The rains are upon us and I don't have time to wait. He was punctual when he showed up. He would have been really professional if he had followed up on the job.

Neal Burgess came over and planted 3 redwood trees for me on a Saturday. One of his workmen planted two pepper trees on our hillside. The retaining wall went well. I was disappointed they would not prune an oak tree but I was told they are not removing trees any longer.

They have done extensive landscaping...tore everything out and put in new plants and a wall. They are reliable and honest. When I ask them do something it's always done to my satisfaction. Workers are all friendly and smiling...nobody that you wouldn't want around your house. They are just wonderful.

They are good.
