Thank you for review. A brand new custom house project that required a last min detailed proposal on a Sunday afternoon before the deadline on Monday wasn’t possible for free. Also, negotiating on pricing before I even give you a bid doesn’t help the situation. Offering us $50-60k less than what it would have come out to and to pay the sales tax on top of that....Wow. Good luck. Thanks again

Description of Work: I don't think this eval is entirely fair since I didn't work with them. I was given a quote of $40,000 for a 4'high x 100' long retaining wall which is more than double what other companies have estimated so we didn't work with them.

Hi. Thanks for the review but unfortunately you're mistaken with the quote. It was $40-$45 per sq ft as [Member Information Removed] in an email dialogue back in February. You might have us mistaken with another company ? Please let me know if you would like to discuss your project Thanks Shinda

Description of Work: Shinda and his team removed 14 inches of clay from our backyard, graded the yard to drain properly, brought in top soil and compost, protected the existing tree roots, built a gorgeous rock retaining wall using all reclaimed rocks from our property, then installed a patio with steps as a change order. No problem! They were absolutely great. They coordinated with our tree contractors and recommended a gardener who they then stayed in touch with to coordinate dirt/compost/timing. They also worked with us when the drainage issue was discovered (needed fixing of course) and helped us keep costs down on that. Excellent!

Description of Work: Shinda was professional and efficient. We hire Shinda to build a rock wall in our backyard to prevent erosion and to extend our yard as it was a very steep hill. He was quick to give us a bid (which came in about the same as the other 2). After mentioning our plan to build a wall three of our neighbors got a bid from him as well. Two of them had a wall built at the same time as ours. He completed all three in no time. Shinda always showed up when he said he would and finished the job on schedule.

Description of Work: The deal was for 5 boulders, delivered and put in place for $425. When discussing the details with the seller - it turns out he only offers 15 mins of use of his equipment - that's 3 mins per boulder!! Impossible. (Although it's mentioned in the fine print - for some reason I thought that was per rock) What isn't mentioned is that extra time is billed at $185/hr!!! That's an EXTREME rate - esp considering the equipment is already there. I consider this a VERY deceptive practice - which is quite ironic considering it's offered on Angie's List.....

We are so sorry to hear that you feel this way! The offer was for (5) 3 man size boulders (appox 4-5 tons), delivered, & installation for $425 reduced $800. 15 mins is plenty of time to set 5 boulders using our specialized rock setting equipment & 18yrs of experience! The offer also had mentioned this as well. The only challenge was access...you mentioned several different options and i said that it would take an addtional 15 mns to transport boulders to the area you wanted them placed. It came out to an addtional $46.25 for the extra time at $185 an hour. You were not willing to spend anymore than $425 , i advised you that I was sorry for the confusion and offered you the refund immediately!! I dont think there was anything deceptive about the offer, everything was stated in the fine print, but you "thought" it was 15mns per rock...we were going from our yard in Issaquah to Duvall, at least an hour one way with truck, trailer, & excavator. Thank you for taking the time to write this review and for your feedback. Sorry it didnt work out. Shinda

Description of Work: I bought a load of 1/2 to 1 man rockery for my rear yard in a Big Deal. I ended up hiring a different contractor and went with a different plan for the landscape. In the end I got a refund for the rockery. In the mean time I felt the company was very responsive to our communications.

He did a fabulous job! He is amazing to watch how he can make that machine fly. His work is so artistic. He created a love seat out of rock in the rockery under this big old tree. It looks so cool! The steps were easy to use. That is not easy to do when using rock. He puts the rock together with such speed and yet it looks so good and is so artistic. His prices are good and he sticks to his bid. I would use him again any time.
Description of Work: Put in a large rockery, 2 rock steps, sod lawn. Made a retaining wall with wall blocks on both sides of basement slider.

We had several estimates for the project. We felt that the estimate we received from Olympic Rockeries (Shinda Sidhu) was the most reasonable for what was being done, and the job was completed at the estimated price. All phone calls were answered promptly, and all appointments were kept. If delayed, Shinda Sidhu called to advise us of such. The 2 day project was finished on time. While it is too early to determine the overall effectiveness of the new system, we have no reason to believe it will not work. The gully that was dug filled with water and we saw the water flowing into the new system. One of the most impressive things was that we were interested in having several other projects done, and we discussed those with Mr. Sidhu. We felt he was honest and knowledgeable about his work. One of the projects involved putting a rock wall along the road in front of our house. When he saw the project he pointed out potential problems with the city of Kenmore (for example, if the city were to widen the road). Whereas other contractors had advised us there was no problem with the wall, Mr. Sidhu knew otherwise, and the information he provided was substantiated by our conversations with the city. On another potential project he pointed out issues we had not considered before, even though he knew it would in all likelihood discourage us from doing the project.
Description of Work: We have a sloped rockery, at the base of which there was no drainage....with the result being very muddy ground. The problem has been worsening over the years. We hired Olympic Rockeries to put in a drainage system. They installed a French covered by drainage rocks along the edge of the rockery. This was connected to a solid pipe which went under our lawn. This solid pipe was hooked up to the drainage system around the house (the one the gutters drain into).

It was great. The guy is dynamite. It was so good that I'm having him come back out next week to install another rock wall. He does a great job and cleans up after himself. He does what he says he’s gonna do when he says he’s gonna do it. He does regular checks on the walls. He regularly asks how it’s going. He installed a lot of rock. I think it was close to 240 feet. Im going to hire him again!

As with my previous experience with Shinda he came prepared and went to right to work. The repair involved a combination of rip-rap and a large rock retaining wall and it is immediately apparent that he knows what he's doing, in a few short hours my driveway was repaired and it really looked great! I no longer have to worry about my driveway being washed out since Shinda did a great job of shoring using just the right mix of materials for a functional and good looking rock retaining wall. I would and have recommended Shinda and Olympic Rockeries & Construction to friends and family and I will be using his company again in the near future. One last thing, Shinda performed clean up and beautification of the surrounding yard that was above and beyond anything we had talked about, it was greatly appreciated.
Description of Work: I called Shinda as he had done an excellent job on a large rockery for me in the past. The problem I had now was all the snow and resulting runoff was threatening to wash out my driveway, so time was of the essence. Shinda answered the phone himself (no voice mail/phone-tag) and arranged to come out and provide an estimate within just a few days, actually showing up on a Sunday. After discussing the best course of action we agreed upon a price and set a tentative date but Shinda was actually able to come out sooner than I expected.

Last year when our original rockery person didn't show up on the day our project was scheduled to begin and then didn't return our calls, we had to start getting estimates for our project all over again. Olympic Rockeries was one of the companies we contacted to bid the project. Their bid was competitive with the other companies and we had seen some of their work and we were impressed so we decided to go with Olympic. We had wanted to do our project last summer, but decided to postpone it and see what the economy would do. We contacted Shinda Sidhu, the owner of the company, and he understood our concerns. We rescheduled our project for this summer. Early in May, we gave Shinda our revised (downsized) plans and we signed a contract and set up a start date for the project. We called and left a message confirming the start day and Shinda called the next day (Saturday) to confirm that he would be starting the following Monday between 9:00 and 10:00. By 9:15 Monday morning they were here to start the project and were finished by Wednesday morning. The crew was professional and at certain critical points would ask us if the project was going according to our plans. We couldn't be happier with the job that they did. It looks fantastic and is exactly what we had wanted. We would not hesitate to refer Olympic Rockery to anyone.
Description of Work: Removed 6 huge Madronna tree stumps and existing concrete, railroad tie, and cinder block walls. Excavated and graded property to install a sloped alpine rockery on north side and a 4 foot high curved retaining wall on the south side of the property per our plans. All existing and project generated debris was removed.
