He dug a trench and laid the pipe right on the ground. He didn't lay the 3/4 drainage stone around the pipe, just on top of it. The pipe was covered by a "sock" to prevent roots and vines from growing in to the pipe, but he drug it across my driveway, which caused the sock to rip. He even cracked the edge of my driveway with one of his machines. He also broke branches in my trees and left grease on my driveway. He was supposed to take the dirt from the trench and spread it over an area of our property, but he left a mound of dirt instead. He also left sheets of plywood and trash lying around. I paid the full contract price, but he wanted more money to finish the grading and make the trench pleasing to the eye. Overall, it was a sloppy job.
Description of Work: I hired him to put in approximately 300 feet of drainage. It was about 1 foot wide by 1 1/2 feet deep. Then he was to install 3/4 drainage stone around the drain pipe. Then he was supposed to put a brown, decorative stone on top of the drainage stone.

We kept adding things on because he s such an awesome guy. He made me cry! We looked around, got at least 3 estimates, and chose him. He offered an excellent price and was very patient with us. What I most liked about him was his honesty and that he works well with women.
Description of Work: They laid down a brick walkway 5-10 feet around our entire 512 square foot pool. 300 square feet of beautiful stone on the side of my house and an 80 foot curved walk in the front. The work took 2 months.
