Bob did a fantastic job on our gravel driveway project! He scraped the driveway to get rid of the existing potholes, graded beautifully to ensure maximum water runoff, dug a few trenches to channel water away, and compacted the traffic bond/gravel for a very smooth finish. He was extremely professional and attentive to our requests. I will definitely be hiring Bob again for continued driveway maintenance and would HIGHLY recommend him to anybody!

He said my job wasn't big enough, and that, "He needed to keep his machines moving." I explained to him that the low spot was fairly large, and I would very much like someone to talk a look at it. He said he mostly does commercial work and wasn't interested in my business. So if you're not an incredibly large property or a commercial site, I wouldn't waste my time calling Bob. If he had a minimum job size (How would I know how much a grading job costs? That's why I'm calling him.) or he preferred to work with commercial properties, why isn't that information here? I deal with a lot of vendors through my work, the condo association I used to be president of, and now my own home. This experience on the phone with Bob was so strange I had to write about it.
Description of Work: I called Bob to come out and look at my property for a variety of grading issues around my home and on my property.

At Bob’s Grading we perform a wide variety of grading projects of all sizes both residential and commercial. We strive to achieve the highest quality grading and landscaping services for our customers. When a potential client calls, questions are asked about the project to determine if Bob’s Grading is a fit. At times, the services being requested are not a fit for Bobs Grading as was the case in this situation.

We called Bob to have some swale work done on the north and east side of our property. We learned their was a water leak at our neighbors house that was compounding our problem, but decided that we'd still like the swale work done to improve rain runoff during heavy storms anyways. Bob showed up a couple times to talk about what we wanted and to take some measurements. His price was the cheapest of the three bids we obtained. We asked for improved swales and installation of french drains in the swales. He was very nice and professional and again, the cheapest price. Work was done quickly and efficiently. Unfortunately, I am less than happy with the results. The north side of the house looks fine, ableit they didn't keep the swale where it was and moved it even closer to my house, but I guess with the drain installation I was ok with that. However, I am very unhappy with the work done on the east side of our property - which is the backyard behind the house. I had asked for a swale improvement and what I got looks like a ditch/trench instead. We have a swing set which I understand might have impeded thei work, but again - adding a drain would have been sufficient enough and now I ahve a drain and what looks like a hug drop off in my backyard. I had my husband call them and explain my unhappiness and Bob's response was that their was nothing that could be changed based on his measurements and the location of our swing set and tree. I'm sorry, but there is ALWAYS something that can be done. I did not need THAT much improvement to the swale. I wanted it to look like it did before between the properties and not it looks nothing like the former. The view from my kitchen window now looks like a drop off right at the swing set and beyond that it looks like they took a huge chunk out of my backyard. To say the least - I don't think I would do it/use them again.
Description of Work: We had new swales and french drains installed to the north and east of our property line.

Response from Bob's Grading Inc
At Bob’s Grading we strive to correct drainage problems. On existing homes oftentimes compromises have to be made between cost, functionality and aesthetics. Mature trees, children’s play areas or other obstacles are often located near drainage swales making drainage solutions more challenging or less desirable. Larger or deeper swales are often needed to improve water flow around a property. Operationally this project is a success and we proudly display it in our portfolio of past projects. My take away from this review is to provide more information about the aesthetic impact of changing the grade around a home. I encourage customers to ask a lot of questions at our site visit to be comfortable with the solutions and options available to correct your property drainage. Please visit our website to view our portfolio of past projects. Thank you for participating in Angie's List

The job went very well. The guys worked hard and quickly in the heat. After a terrible rain storm which washed away the new grass seed, they guys came back to add soil which had settled and then spread new seed. Overall a good experience.
Description of Work: Removed chain-link fence Installed drain tile and drains across backyard and down side of the house to street Added fill and regraded backyard for proper pitch and drainage Dug out and graded unwanted garden areas Raised window wells for addition of soil Spread seed, fertilizer, and straw for grass

Honestly, why do people even bother to waste their time as well as mine? I asked Bob ( company's owner) for a drainage solution to my property. He did come over as we agreed. He offered me his opinion and possible solutions. He said he'd respond with a proposal bid to be mailed I had never ever received. I can't say that this is professional. Obviously, he didn't want to do this job. Or, maybe it got lost in the mail? No follow up phone call despite this. That's a thumbs down for me.

Response from Bob's Grading Inc
I really enjoyed meeting with the Angie’s list member. We talked about his drainage project for over an hour. I offered my suggestions and we brainstormed about possible corrective steps that could be taken to help with the drainage around his home. I offer my deepest apologies to the home owner for not following up to see if the homeowner received my proposal and if he had any questions about the bid. I wish the homeowner would have taken the time to call or email me before making a negative posting on Angie’s List. We take pride in our work and with helping customers. Bob’s Grading Inc.
