Description of Work: Gil scraped down and graded our 1000 foot gravel driveway and arranged for 50 tons of new stone that he helped spread. He was very responsive and completed our job a week after we first spoke. I called several contractors and he was the only one who responded. We are very pleased with his work and highly recommend him.

Description of Work: I've used Gil before so I knew I could count on his doing a good job. He replaced original 1951 drain tiles with 2 4" pcv pipes draining out to the street. I wanted to insure that newly purchase little home would have a dry basement so that we could renovate the basement and make a rec room. And his work was the first step in doing that.

GAVE A GOOD PRICE, BUT EXPLAINED THE DIFFICULTIES INVOLVED IN USING THIS METHOD TO ACHIEVE MY GOALS. RESPONDED QUICKLY, MADE SURE TO ANSWER ALL MY QUESTIONS. VERY HONEST AND PROFESSIONAL. I MAY NOT USE HIM BECAUSE HE EXPLAINED OTHER OPTIONS THAT WERE LESS EXPENSIVE AND/OR MORE FEASIBLE, BUT I RESPECT HIS HONESTY GREATLY. IF I USE A TRENCHER, I'LL USE HIM.
