D & M Construction and Landscaping

Everything was well done.

We are not pleased. The first day trees were skirted, not as we asked, others trees were trimmed. Very uneven. One tree that stands alone looks chopped. This was on Wed. No move work was done for 4 days. Branches were left on ground for this period. some were left when hydro seed was applied. We did confront owner about the work, trees were skirted again as requested. Our contract stated that 50 yards of soil would be brought in for the back yard, we felt really confident that this would be a great base for the hydroseed. But, one truck delivered with 18 yards! (We called soil company to verify). Very disappointed. The ground is very hard, hydroseed was blown in a week ago, we are concerned that it will not take. Clumps of dirt and weeds were left on ground when seed was blown. We have followed the directions of watering and have called the hydroseed company with questions. We did ask the owner why 50 yards of soil was not used, his response was it was up to 50 yards. We are keeping our fingers crossed that we will have a yard of beautiful grass as promised.

Like any modification on an older house, things you don't expect happen. Our contractor (Matt) told us right away what was wrong and how it can be resolved. Matt was always fair in his charges for these extra corrections. As with any job, the owner sees how something looks in reality rather just in a plan as the work develops. Matt had so much tolerance of our changes! (I may have killed us if I was on the other side!) He did take all the precautions for keeping the mess to a minimum as he was working....if he needed to clean up, it was done before he left. The work he did was exceptionally good looking. When we lived with the kitchen, we found several things that needed doing redoing .... Matt asked us to make a list. He came back and fixed what we had found without descent.

All of the work was accomplished in three days. They provided the quote one day and started work on the next. Treated us very professionally. I have some additional work that needs to be performed, I am looking forward to dealing with them again.
