"We hired Western Paver Design to redo our backyard. I was referred them by two different people in my neighborhood. I obtained multiple estimates but decided to go with WPD based on the personal recommendations as well as Joe being so friendly and knowledgeable during the estimate. He answered all of my questions, provided his expertise and input on what would work or not, and gave a fair and competitive price. Joe created a wonderful plan for our backyard based on what we wanted. He took our “wants” and ran with it. Darwin led his team with Marteen and Modesto to complete the plan and make our backyard our dream backyard. They were incredible to work with. They came and removed all of the sod that was already there. (It was installed incorrectly and looked terrible) the raised the backyard and leveled it all out and built a retaining wall around the whole yard. They installed a large paver patio (roughly 13x18) and then next to that a large turf are, about the same size. Along the house they built a small deck area to be level with the turf and against the house. This was nice so there was no large drop off area, being a hazard for the kids. On the other side of the retaining wall they built me two large raised garden beds As well. I cannot rave enough about Darwin, Marteen, and Modesto, and Joe! They were a pleasure to work with! They were professional and friendly and worked so hard each day they were here. They transformed our yard into exactly what we wanted-a large area for entertaining and BBQing, a nice turf area for the kids, and garden beds for me to grow vegetables! The end result is everything we could have imagined!"

"I was charged $150 to have nothing done except make work for myself moving everything out of the room and now moving it back in. Where to begin, first off…do yourself a favor. Anything more than say a small job that you could probably do yourself with a youtube video showing you step by step, get a legit service to come on out and view the job with their own eyeballs to tell you if they can do it. The individual who showed up was very nice so I lay no blame on him, but I spoke over the phone with their main office about having some floor squeaks I wanted fixed. Pull back carpet, find joists, screw it down and put carpet back. I was told that some parts of the carpet could tear and that but fixing the squeak another squeak maybe in time shows up elsewhere. I understood what was said and was told the 4 hour package should be what I need. We moved forward… Our guy arrived on time but we cleared the room to make it easy and was told he can pull the carpet or drill through carpet, but I wanted it done right, he mentioned they do not put the carpet back. On the phone when I agreed to go forward, I was told that it would go back and even knew the risks but a few times our guy said, “no we do not put the carpet back” and you need a carpet specialist. Then when the 1 job was a wash, I was informed I must pay $150 for the trip out which we were both very upset about. I asked him to just try and install a light fixture to make use of the hour though I was going to do it myself later. Through no fault of his own, when the box opened it was missing a critical mounting component. So, no light mounted. In short, unless it is an ULTRA small job, get people who specialize in your needs. People need to come out and inspect the job so the handyman knows what the job is exactly rather than an office saying they can do anything no problem and then not deliver. I was told they can reschedule and do everything then I can call a carpet specialist to put the old carpet back down as it was to simply be rolled back some, at that point I’d rather 1 person do it all and Ace is NOT it. The house has lots of small projects but honestly, I don’t see myself ever using them again. I honestly feel like I was robbed."

"We were extremely impressed by the work Terra-Sol did for us. Dave was very helpful in creating a design for our entire front yard and the team knocked out all the work in a couple of days. The yard looks great and we're very glad we hired this Terra-Sol to do this work!"

"great! Friendly , on time, prompt, did work in a timely fashion. I would have Steve back."

"HE WAS ON TIME AND VERY FRIENDLY AND ABLE TO GET MY TV MOUNTED ON THE WALL WERE I WANTED WOULD DEFINITELY CALL AGAIN IF NEEDED SOMETHING DONE"

"Went well. Timely worked quickly and cleaned up well. Sod was well placed and sprinklers reset well."

"Where to start, I hired Jim at Evolution to do an exterior home remodel. This was three years ago. This included windows, siding, doors, roof, and gutters. Two jobs (the house roof and the gutters) were done by two other companies that he hired. The gutters are leaking and not doing their job at this point. They are not blocked nor do they have debris in them. The seams are failing. There are three spots currently. Also they put a downspout in the middle of the gutter and not on the end. So there’s issues associated with that. Jim was to do the siding, windows, screen doors, basement door, and carport roof. His costs were the best out of several contractors and he was recommended by a friend. We were drawn to another company but we decided to go with Evolution and Jim. So I mentioned the carport, we needed to redo it. I am a novice when it comes to building but I figured I could build the carport and have Jim roof it (originally it was going to be the other subcontracted roofers doing it). So I constructed, after doing research, the carport. Jim arrives and says it’s too flat and that it’s not safe to shingle it. so he says we could but corrugated plastic up in its place. I agree to that as I am assuming he knows what he’s talking about. He proceeds to do the job. The carport roof, the siding, the windows. I recently installed a patio with pavers right before he started his work here. I with my neighbors help did the work. My neighbor then installed a concrete border around the patio. At one point Jim and his crew rent a scissor lift and proceed to drive it (I think the sticker said 2500 pounds on the side of the machine) onto the patio to instal a window upstairs. They cracked the new concrete border and cracked about 10 pavers. They decided not to mention it to me, but I noticed it. I waited till the end of the day when Jim was sitting in his vehicle to leave and I approached him. He said they would fix it. Their fix was flipping the pavers over and not addressing the cracked concrete border. Disappointing but ok. So back to the carport which is my ultimate complaint. Jim completes all the projects including the plastic on the carport. Within days there are multiple leaks on the carport. Jim sends a helper out to put some caulk on it. The next day it’s leaking all along where the plastic meets the newly shingled roof. I contact Jim about the situation and he says “I’m washing my hands clean of this problem”. I plead with him to help address it and he sends me a email saying I screwed up the carport and that if an inspector saw it they would make me take it down. So I drop it. Over the next three years we are to the point of replacing the roof, yet the carport structure is solid. The plastic has shattered on the south side where it wasn’t connected properly, no flashing was installed so the water has damaged all of his supports causing them to warp, it leaks everywhere rendering the carport useless. Since Jim refused to address it I contacted another contractor to see what they could do. They came out and determined Jim botched the carport roof in several ways. No flashing, un proper cross beam placement, un proper overlap of plastic, un proper attachment to my structure. My structure was sound with no issues. So I reach out to Jim again about the issue and asked him repeatedly to come back out to see what was happening, in hopes he would fix it. It has been three years at this point. He doubled down with what he said before. Got upset that I asked another contractor to look at it (even though he refused too). He repeatedly asked me if I wanted him to come out. Which I reply with yes, over and over again. He never came. To be blunt he was incredibly rude. I’ll happily post what he wrote of the need arises. The bottom line to me is this. If I built the structure poorly (as he claimed… even though I think he wanted to initially do it but cost prevented it) why would you cover something that was built poorly. I would of said I can’t legally cover that structure or maybe even it’s built in a way that I can’t insure a leak free roof (again it was a matter of days I reported leaks to him). Secondly after I paid over 50,000 dollars to him, why wouldn’t you try to fix the roof just to be helpful especially since I contacted him within days. Thirdly why be a rude and condescending. Overall it was a huge let down. The new carport roof will cost about 3000. All his supports and the plastic top. The patio damage and the lack of care in fixing his issues he created. I would never recommend Jim or Evolution."

"We recently expanded a deck, added a patio cover, and are putting a hot tub underneath this second floor deck. There was a concrete patio below the existing deck and we wanted to match that, w/ reinforcement for a hot tub. We got a couple bids for the job. Danny was the estimator that came out for Forest and he seemed knowledgeable and was punctual and professional. It was not the cheapest bid, but the company is much more well established than a couple others we consulted so I put more trust in their work. Rigo is the guy we needed to work with on scheduling etc. for concrete work. This was a little rocky at first, but that had a lot to do with us needing to postpone the start till our deck was done, but then also work around a vacation we'd be taking, and make sure the concrete had enough time to cure before our hot tub is dropped. Despite a slight language barrier, we worked it out and even managed to get it done ahead of when we originally scheduled it. Punctuality is impressive with these guys. For 3 days they were waiting outside our house to start at 7:30am precisely. They had to remove a portion of fence and work around some foliage for access. They ended up encountering an unexpected drainage tube of some kind while digging and made sure to create an access point for us if it's ever needed in the future. The concrete looks great and matches our old patio so well, it's hard to tell they weren't poured together. Danny and I (and later Rigo) discussed treating the old concrete to help the matching. At the end of the work they did a great job of cleaning up the area and returning everything to normal. Rigo also helped us by showing us how to remove the fence portion for when our hot tub is delivered and left the top cap off because he said we'd really struggle to get it off if they put it back. I'm happy with the work, communication, and cleanup and trust if there are any problems I will be able to get them resolved. If we have further landscape needs in the future I will def be calling Forest for a bid."

"Had a sprinkler system installed on about 1/3 of an acre in the spring of 2022 with a 3 year guarantee. They were prompt about coming out, giving an estimate and taking a payment. Poor communication following the install regarding operation. Problems with water reaching all areas of the grass were downplayed. After repeatedly not answering texts or phone messages I was berated by Mr. Hawk for being "Mr. Difficult". I ended up buying and changing 3 sprinkler heads so that water would reach everywhere and eliminate brown spots. Terrible customer service !"

"The team did an excellent job. They worked until work was done. Very good quality work."
