A-1 Walls and Landscaping

see previous comments

It was my worst mistake in picking a contractor ever! (wish I had known about this site earlier). We found them at a home and garden show with a very nice display.The project was quoted at a fair price not the cheapest or the most expensive. The project was to take 3 days from start to finish no damage within a 15' radius of work. Six grueling weeks later it was completed in a sense. Our first issue was on day one when I was arriving home from work and the crew was over talking to my neighbors at their house and simply walked right by me and left without saying a word. The next obstacle was the paving stones came in wrong after our yard was already prepped(which I was not made aware of or offered to see, found this out by my neighbor also). We were paying the bill but our neighbors knew more of the status of our project than we did. Once we got the pavers a week later they called me and told me we would have to buy more because their supplier had misrepresented the coverage area per pallet of stones, this was not my issue as it was a quoted job. Finally got that resolved (after multiple calls and a threat to get the Better Business Bureau involved) only to have 13 stones in place in 1 days time, was the first job with this type of stone, was still only supposed to take 2 more days. Over half our yard was driven through due to a truck that constantly would not start and had to be pushed all over by the skid steer to get it going again. Two trees were hit causing quite a bit of damage to one. The communication with the owner was horrible he kept asking me what I would do (this is why you hire this done so you don't have to worry about it). They did not even straw the yard after seeding and they are a landscaping company? I called the owner and told him we needed to talk first before he received payment. He came out and I gave him a very lengthy story of how this had been the worst experience of my life and he was gracious enough to offer me a $200 discount, so I pulled out pictures and started showing him vehicles parked all over the yard (70' from the project) with ruts and bare lawn everywhere, walked him to the trees and finally got $500 off for the damage which was not adequate but best I felt I was going to get. I even told him we would never recommend them to anyone and he was not worried about it. We now have grass coming up in between the pavers through the joint compound(which we payed extra for the premium to avoid this). After it finally rained the pavers have settled and are now uneven. Use these guys at your own risk and hope you get a better job than we did.
