I met Tim Jones after a neighbor recommended him to me. Tim and I spoke over several months about the challenges of the prior driveway/stairway setup and discussed a number of conceptual alternatives. TIm is very creative and has a good sense of perspective in terms of what will work or not (recognize we were working within a relatively small footprint, on a steep slope, trying to create a design that would make the house more easily accessible from your car, yet not make the driveway impossible to trek). I was tryng to not just solve the functionailty challenges, but wanted the area to also be attractive, since it was the entry to our lakehome and property. Tim listened and understood what appealed to me and what did not. He developed the perfect combination of utility and aesthetics for the project. He designed the layout and recommended the type of stone to use. I liked it so much that I actually expanded the project to include a sideyard staircase that encompassed the same natural stone in an additional sweeping stairpath. TIm and his very capable son, Ryan (who works an excavator with the dexterity other young men can only hope to demonstrate on a video game joystick) work very well together. Their pride in their work is evidenced by their willingness to keep moving boulders until they not only serve their physical objective, but look "naturally" placed. I also had Tim do the plantings (small evergreens and shrubs) in the area. The end result looks great. From a project timeline perspective, the work took about 5 weeks, slightly longer than planned, but we did expand the project and there were some unanticipated site conditions (an underground spring) that had to be dealt with. Cost-wise, Tim doesn't like surprizes and didn't delivery any. He quoted a price up front, kept me abreast of any changes as a result of scope changes, and billed me as agreed upon. Overall it was an excellant experience, and I am planning on engaging Tim and Ryan on another project.
