He was running a couple of minutes late and called me to let me know that. I appreciate that since the other two companies just gave up on me and never bother to call.
Description of Work: Asked for a bid on some work. I have not started work as the cost is higher than I would like at this time. He also does not do the hauling of a rock wall that I need done. Mr. Huffstead was very honest and let me know that he does not usually do that type of work. He also let me know that the wall is not falling apart like my neighbor said, and that it would outlast me.

As usual, Bal came as soon as I called. The tree move was an emergency, as I'm having foundation work done, and the tree proved to be in the way. They replanted another bush, and moved it a second time to a better location after some deliberation. He didn't mind, just aimed to please. As a final nice touch, his worker found a single red tulip growing at the far end of the yard, all by itself. He took it upon himself to dig it up and place it near the new planting. It looked great, and balanced the new bed. What a thoughtful gesture!
Description of Work: Moved a tree whose roots were growing into, and blocking, a drainpipe. Moved a few other plantings to make room for the tree, and to balance out the other plantings.

Bal is a terrific person, such a pleasure to work with. He listened closely to what I asked him to do, and took extreme care to do it well. I told him I had to have it done within the next 3 days, and sure enough, he came through as promised. I was in the middle of a deck building project, and when my other contractors came by and saw the finished job, they were all impressed with what a great job he'd done, not to mention the high quality gravel he'd chosen to do the work. Lastly, while Bal had quoted the job based on one ton of gravel, in the end he had to get a second ton, but he stood by his original price quote. Bal is a very decent man, and anyone who works with him better treat him right!
Description of Work: Improved the grading in my backyard. I live at the bottom of a hill, and have quite a bit of seepage into my basement. He brought in soil, which he packed against the foundation, covered it with a sheet of landscaping tarp, and covered that with 2 tons of gravel. When he was done, he smooth and squared everything off, and the whole thing looked neat and even. Very very professional!
