Description of Work: At my request. Mr.Cowart came out to my property and gave me an estimate for a driveway that I was considering building. He charged $50 for the estimate, which I thought was very reasonable, and although I did not use his services, I would certainly hire his company. He was prompt in providing me with his bid, which I thought was quite reasonable. The reason I did not use his services is that I encountered a delay with my project. Based on my contact with Mr. Cowart, I would certainly recommend his company to anyone.

I would not call this guy again.
Description of Work: Wes set up an appointment with me over the phone for today 7/30/2015 at 10 am. He did not call to cancel and he did not SHOW UP. I should send him an invoice for my time as I took off the morning from MY JOB to accommodate this appointment. And if he doesn't pay it I'll see you in small claims court.

Response from Outdoor Designs
The customer is correct. I made a mistake when I transferred my appointments to a new page in my notebook and missed hers. It was an honest mistake and I will try to rectify it with her. This is my first bad review in 6 or 7 years and is not the way I do business. I have many excellent reviews and happy customers. Thanks, Wes

Description of Work: House slab at the rear of the house had become too close to the elevation of the ground in the backyard causing flooding into the house when large rain events occurred. |Wes came out looked over the yard saw that there was little elevation from the back to the front yard, gave me an estimate based on his visual. |Work started and once elevations were actually taken found that more dirt was going to have to be removed and a few other changes that I wanted to make. the price was increased with a change order, that was fair. The work was done (site graded, sprinkler system modified, pebble rock placed, shrubs planted, sod replaced, small (steel) gate and fence modified). I was very satisfied with the work done by his employees, they respected our property, cleaned up each day, and did an excellent job. We did have a problem with a step going up to the pool deck, we worked it out to both of our satisfaction. |Since the work was done we have moved. I have some work that needs to be done at our new home and I will call Wes with Outdoor Design.

His prices were way to high, we had got the job done for 1/3 of their price. They were fine though, and he made some good suggestions. We just ended up saying no to them.
Description of Work: The quote was to extend the patio.

Misunderstanding at first in terms of how much fence would be removed. A problem because I have dogs. But they did a very good job on replacing the retaining wall and cleaning up after themselves. They took care to replace the fence, which had recently been replaced. Overall a good experience.

Do hire this guy. He shows up when he says he will. He does what he says he will do. He has great ideas. He leaves the area clean.
Description of Work: Built a retaining wall insuring water run off away from and around the pool. Prepared area for flagstone. Put us in touch with a good subcontractor crew and showed up frequently to monitor and keep us informed of their progress.
