I wanted to be done at my home with a myriad of other work. deck redid, a new lawn, and waterfront restoration all pretty big labor-intensive jobs.was told by him he could do everything ..... I started with an embankment clearing job I wanted to be cleared he and his crew worked for 5 hours! and they were done for the day but not the job !!!! also changing the day coming thur a text annoyed I worked thur this change however his day started at about 1030am work was nilly willy with poor planning and lack of leadership of his crew he left a mess and the job incomplete. ., some to my fault as I wasn't specific enough about what I wanted to be cleared eye-roll, nor did I look before he left after payment so I had to pick up some remaining debris and it's still not complete so I called him to ask if he could give me an estimate to finish but when I wanted to talk specifics about it he got defensive and argumentative before and after I called I asked if he could give me an estimate for a whole day it was a bigger job than I think he estimated and one I didn't want to do myself why I was paying to complete it but I still wanted it done and be more specific and even pay more than I already spent he felt his work and time was good enough ? I guess all he wanted was a 5-star review but not to complete the job to any kinda satisfaction so I would have a detailed conversation with him or you will have to put on baby gloves to deal Brandon Chaffee to get any project you will want to be completed at your home DONE! he's the type that will throw his hands up and go and leave your property a mess as he wants to come n go on his time not yours so beware. I have to find and go with someone else an adult to complete and do the rest of the work I would like done at my home .

Most of the contractors were mainly interested…read morein getting the square footage and off to the next quote without spending even a few minutes to discuss concerns I had with drainage. Not only was Johnston paving's quote reasonable...Scott took the time to discuss in detail, the drainage issue, and slight changes to the layout for easier access, additional parking, and improved curb appeal. The garage floor was also severely cracked and damaged. It proved very difficult to find anyone who would show up for a quote, let alone remove it for a reasonable price and timeline. Scott offered to remove it at a reasonable cost, and once we had a plan, we scheduled a start date. The crew was prompt and swift in removal and prep for asphalt. There was a few weeks delay in getting the garage concrete work done do to a month of rain, but once complete, the crew was back at it, and had the driveway looking fantastic. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. All the neighbors have commented on how nice the property looks now...and I owe it all to Scott and the crew of Johnston Paving!

About 3 years ago Scott Johnston repaved my small driveway and every time I clear it of leaves,…read moresnow, etc., I greatly appreciate the work he did. He personally graded and contoured the area with a small dozer to solve major runoff and drainage problems with a minimum amount of pitch in any direction. He replaced a very high, problematic entry berm put in by the town by smoothly contouring the area as an integral part of the driveway. He enlarged the driveway footprint on the fly to improve drainage and increase overall functionality at no additional cost, solved a problem with the garage/barn apron and avoided the need and cost for a police detail on a main road. He also put in a durable road-grade surface that I appreciated the first time extremely heavy trucks used driveway. His crew then did an excellent job of putting in a cobble stone border. The whole job noticeably improved the appearance of the property. I didn't know Scott before this work, but he is regarded as a real craftsman by his friends, and it is noticeable in the work he does. It was probably the best change made to the property for the money.

When you call their office, if you try to inform them about their mistakes and sloppy jobs, they just hang up the phone on the customer. They are not professionals at all !!!

5 Stars for Fresh Landscaping & Masonry!!…read more Patio/ Staircase Installation We worked with the owner, Jorge, over the summer to completely transform our backyard. Jorge came many, many times to work with me on my design choices for our patio. I scoped out many different ideas with him, and we discussed a multitude of different pavers/retaining wall blocks. Jorge was always a pleasure to work with. He was friendly, *patient*, and helpful throughout the entire process. We have a very tricky backyard, and the masonry project was split into two phases. First, we had a staircase built into the hill over an existing retaining wall. This involved digging out huge boulders and drilling into ledge. Next, Jorge installed and re-graded a new paver patio area that was 3x the size of the existing patio, including adding a french drain to correctly re-route water from our gutters far away from the house. Again, the expansion was an impressive feat due to ledge/rock in our backyard. Also, I had really wanted a certain paver to be used as a surround trim, and he had his team put in the extra effort to make it happen as the trim pavers were a different height than the patio pavers. THANKS JORGE! Finally, we capped off the existing retaining wall, adding a gorgeous stepping-stone walkway surrounded by river rocks, saved/replanted existing plantings, put in new plantings that I selected, put in new sod, installed new irrigation zones and heads, added a new Wi-Fi irrigation controller, added an outside water shut-off, and included beautiful lighting, Jorge was personally there on-site a large percentage of the time. He focused his various teams on getting the job done so they were there every day/all day until they were done with their portion (digging/drilling/masonry, landscaping, lighting, irrigation). His teams work very hard. They were all polite, friendly, helpful, and reliable. We are so satisfied with Jorge's masonry work that we switched all our landscaping services to Fresh Landscaping as well. Jorge is a true professional. It was a pleasure to work with him. He cares deeply about your satisfaction with his team's work, and he will work with you to get the job done right!
