Description of Work: We called for an estimate and Geovani came over as scheduled the next day. We were looking to have our small city back yard cleared out (remove cobbles and few existing plants), regraded, install a dry well, and build 2 new patios, a short wall and planter. As I mentioned, the space is very small. We received the quote yesterday - a whopping $18,000. This does not include the removal of a deck which we said we could do ourselves. This price sounds very high, but we may go back with a reduced version if we cannot find a cheaper alternative. The company was very responsive though and did promise to do all the work in one stretch so that sounds very good too.
