Had a signed contract for 3 months (mid 5 digits so nothing small) and never showed up. Discussed…read morethe finish date when signed and then, when it was time to work, nothing. After numerous conversations, over about 8 weeks, I couldn't get a commitment from Steve. Every time I was told they would try for something, they failed. Steve will promise to be there, get you a date, try to get to you, etc, and then just nothing. If the owner conducts business like this, I can only imagine how his crew would behave. I ended up finding a quality contractor (ZF Outdoors) that was able to bail me out, after the delays Steve caused, and still have it done by the deadline. IF YOU WANT YOUR JOB DONE ON TIME CALL SOMEONE ELSE! I'm glad I did! UDATE: Regarding Steve's comments about a deposit. To give a contractor 50% before they even start is crazy, because of situations like this with contractors disappearing and/or failing. Steve and I spoke and settled on 4 payments of 25%, the first of which was due when he showed up and started working. You can believe what you want but BUYER BEWARE!!

I would not use this company again. I contracted Colin to remove some dirt and debris from my yard…read more Prior to the job start, I met Colin at my house and he explained his process and I detailed what I wanted done. He specifically stated that they would use a shovel to hand dig around the asphalt so they wouldn't cause any damage. The day of the job he brought in another gentleman to operate the excavator. The operator went straight into a pile of debris right by my asphalt and took a 10"x10" chunk out of it and caused a crack leading to my house. All 3 of us were there and witnessed this happen. I asked them about it and neither of them acknowledged my question and continued to work. Before we started I showed them a back section of the yard I specifically wanted gone. Colin kept saying that he understood what I was asking, but they kept excavating the wrong part of the yard. I continued to try to clarify that wasn't what I was looking for and then Colin just walked away from me in a huff. I then went up to the operator himself to try and explain and the response I got was "I'm trying really hard to be nice to you right now" . Which was a surprisingly aggressive response to receive when you're asking the people who are removing dirt on your property to remove the correct dirt. At the end, the operator dumped a bucket of dirt over the crack to intentionally cover it up and then he left the job site without letting me know he was leaving or confirming with me that the job was done. Colin was ready to leave as well, but thankfully I hadn't paid him yet, so I went back over to the crack to address it with him. It was only after I called him out for it A SECOND TIME at the very end that he took responsibility and acknowledged the damage. Colin did have someone come out and fix the asphalt, but only because he got caught. If you do use him, make sure you supervise the entire job.

I just have to leave this review for Chris and Cherry Valley. I had a very unusual problem in that…read moreI had a property where the lawn was covered with hardscape material: granite, bluestone, red stone, cobblestones, and hundreds of bricks. My husband was planning to complete a wall he had built along the property line when he passed away unexpectedly. The items he saved were often extremely large, so that they could not be removed by just a few men. Heavy equipment was necessary. After contacting numerous contractors in Newport where I live, a friend suggested that I contact Chris who had built a large patio for him. Chris came, took a look, and for an incredibly reasonable price removed all of the hardscape in one day. I was so impressed and relieved to have this taken care of. Dealing with Chris was so easy: a friendly, optimistic and competent guy. Other contractors just shook their heads at this project, which Chris did within a week of my contacting him. I'm lucky to have found this company and will call on them again when I have the hardscape in my own yard done.
