Description of Work: Owner Dennis Corcoran and his team have been landscaping (including stone work) and maintaining our 2 acre property for nearly 8 years. Recommended without qualification.
Dennis is wonderful to work with. He has wonderful ideas, and will share them with you, if you ask. We wish we had the funds to have him back to do more projects.
Description of Work: We had multiple projects, and issues. Dennis put in several (4, I think) french drains around the house, to divert water from coming into the basement/foundation. They work great, and after two basement-flooding-events, we have not had any further flooding problems even though we have had periods of heavy rain/snow. He also replaced a rock retaining wall with a treated-timber wall, after another company caused it to fall (due to their negligence). We will eventually have Dennis come back, and replace the other side of the wall; it is on both sides of a basement-walkout. Dennis also landscaped the entrance-way from the driveway to the front door. He added large stepping stones, pea-gravel, and beautiful plantings to grace the entrance. He also assisted with repairing the additional destruction (mild term) that another contractor did to the yard, in addition to the previously mentioned rock retaining wall. Dennis and his company also built a rock veneered double-mailbox at the end of the driveway that complimented the rock veneer work he added to the chimney, around a large bow window, and around the entire base of the front porch (up to the pillars of decorative woodwork). This rock-work accent really sets our home apart, and the mailbox is a "car-stopper". We were trying to replace the electricity wires from the house to the barn, and he offered to use his equipment to dig the trench for this replacement. This made the project go so much faster, and he was able to make the trench deeper, allowing us to do a better job when we replaced this wiring. We used Dennis over a period of three years for many projects; I am sure I have left out something. We definitely will hire him again.

Landscaping was installed well at a good price but irrigation was never installed properly and company did not complete installation.
Description of Work: Company did a good job with my landscaping but failed to install the landscaping irrigation properly. It took a lot of phone calls get the company to return to fix the problem. They never did fix it properly and I had to hire another company to fix the problem. I was promissed some additional plantings for the trouble but only some were delivered. Could not get the company to call me back after that so I gave up.

We had already had a French drain put in but it was ineffective by someone else. He came out and put another French drain in closer to the house and made it twice the size than normal because of the extra expense to get into it. We get a lot of snow and then rain, so he did that so we wouldn't have any more problems. After that, he came in and did some hard scape for us. He put in some large stepping stones and really made the walkway and the side of the house pop, it was really good. Once you get someone who shows up, is reasonable, does what he says he's going to do, and is on time, you stick with them. He then put rock around the base of the house, like a fassad. And the pillars, he did the bottom half in stone so it ties the whole bottom half together. He put rock on the stucco chimney, with the same type of rock. It was a rock veneer. It pulled the whole house together. He also framed a large window with the rock. He basically pulled the whole house together. He made a double rock mailbox at the end of the road of the same stone. Living in the woods it must be 1/8 of a mile to the street, but it's the first thing you see coming in and it's just impressive. We gave him an idea of what we wanted he. He did such a great job, he's great. What started out as a problem, it turned into beautiful. He's not pushy. So with little bits of money here and there we got the job taken care of. The biggest thing I can say is he shows up, he communicates. Dennis also put in a retaining wall for us where a rock wall had fallen and he replaced a wall with timbers and supported it. It's not going to go anywhere now. He's multi talented on many levels.
Description of Work: We did several things. We called him because of an emergency because we had bad flooding in the basement.. He came out and did French drains and water diversions.
