We love what we do, I started this business because I love the work. Despite holding a degree in sociology from the University of Missouri I decided to instead start my own business for no other reason than the fact I believe; that your work should also be your play. Our employees, who we consider family, have the same mindset and feel they are truly part of this company.
John himself is a very nice person and at his core I am sure he would like to do a good job - however running a business is clearly not in his wheelhouse. The project involved pavers and planting. With regard to the pavers, while a great deal of work was done, the sanding was done poorly and will require about $2K of work to fix from another contractor, sand is missing for several areas, grout used for certain stones is all over the brick on our home. Also, some stone on my home was damaged, fencing was damaged, garbage from the work was left for me to take care of, stone and aggregate from prior to the work was left in the dirt used for the new planting (looks terrible), nearly $1k damage was done to our sprinkler system, and more. The plantings were OK, but sparse and will require additional plants to fill in. The project started in later summer, did not quite finish by early winter and the following spring, it was make very clear he did not want to deal with me any further.
