My mother and her boyfriend hired Mr. Lewis to complete a concrete patio (to put a metal shed on)…read morefor them in 2024. Not only was it not done by code, but it eventually started to fail, as the soil was never tested properly. Causing them to have an astronomical amount of fixing that needs to be completed. (Well over $12,000 to repair just the foundation area), not including the cost to move the building and then move it back, it also started causing issues due to its sliding against their drain field, causing more damage... In the meantime they took him to court, as he has ignored all of it constantly and has not responded to anything they've requested and is avoiding what is owed to them. They did win in court, and are now stuck, as he will not do the right thing...just pay them what you owe and do the right thing. This is NOT how to conduct business. BEWARE if you do business with him. *Also, you're able to look up the court case for yourself and see the avoidance and disrespect, it is free to the public using e-court website.*

Based on my experience, any proactive issues you can take to avoid any water issues is money well spent. I love how they work with you to stay in your budget but help you to track issues you may see in the future. In our situation, we have a gutter issue that showed up when we had the recent monsoon rain. We're going to fix our gutters (clean them out) but will track a second issue (we also have an issue with the volume of our 2nd floor gutter pours onto our garage roof as the 2nd floor and the garage roof gutter handle the same volume of water which means that if we max out the 2nd floor gutter, the garage roof gutter will be overflowing). They also pointed out that they can fix issues with our porch setting (a common issue given that NC builder often throw all their trash under the porch then bury the trash when they finish their construction). There is an easy fix for that issue. Also, they can fix an issue with our cement driveway slab tilting though it is more expensive given the size of the slab. We'll address this later.

After dealing with an extremely stressful experience with another landscaping company where we…read moreunfortunately lost over $2,000 and are currently dealing with court proceedings, we were very cautious about moving forward with another contractor. From the very beginning, Soto Landscaping completely changed that experience for us in the best possible way. The process started with their online contact form, which was incredibly easy and straightforward to submit. Within literally 5 minutes, we received a call from Rigo. That level of responsiveness alone already stood out compared to other companies we contacted. During the phone call, Rigo took the time to walk through all of our questions in detail and even provided a preliminary estimate. More importantly, he genuinely listened to our concerns regarding deposits and our previous bad experience with another landscaper. At no point did we feel pressured or dismissed. Instead, he was empathetic, understanding, and extremely professional throughout the entire conversation. We then scheduled an in-person meeting to review our property and project needs. Communication leading up to the appointment was excellent. He clearly communicated arrival timing and expectations, which we really appreciated after dealing with unreliable contractors previously. When Rigo arrived, he immediately got to work taking measurements, reviewing the property, and discussing options with us. The entire interaction felt organized, efficient, and professional. On top of that, the pricing he provided was honestly amazing and worked within our budget without sacrificing confidence in the quality of work. What impressed us the most was the customer service. Rigo was incredibly understanding about our situation and made us feel like he genuinely cared about helping us move forward after months of frustration with other companies. We also explained that timing was extremely important to us because of the delays we experienced elsewhere, and Soto Landscaping delivered immediately. The work was scheduled for the SAME WEEK. The crew arrived on Wednesday to begin all of the prep work and preparation for the patio, and the concrete was poured and completed by Friday. Seeing the project move that quickly while still maintaining such high quality workmanship was honestly impressive. From initial contact on Monday to project completion by Friday, the turnaround time was outstanding. Now that the project is wrapping up, we genuinely could not be happier with the results. The concrete patio turned out absolutely beautiful. Everything was completed professionally, on time, and exactly as discussed. The attention to detail and workmanship exceeded our expectations, and it is such a relief to finally have this project completed after all the stress we experienced previously. We will absolutely be using Soto Landscaping moving forward for future projects.

Oh my goodness. Another low score for a local company…read more... Aughh. Where to begin? My sweetheart, the right Reverend Robin R., called around to find a contractor that would deliver enough rock to line our culvert (for a reasonable price). She did *not* go with the lowest bidder. (She's WAY too environmentally sensitive to do that). She went with the company that would leave the smallest carbon footprint, Mellott Contractors of Carrboro, NC. So what if it would cost $20 more than the lowest bidder? The environment is important, and we should all be good stewards... right? She spoke with Chris. Together, they came to the determination that we'd need "Class B" rip-rap: rock which is roughly 5-12 inches in diameter. She told him we'd need enough rock to cover 600 square feet in the culvert alongside our yard. Please remember that number, 600 square feet. When the day came, Robin was ready. She'd hired a crew of three men to spread the six tons of rock over the 600 square feet of culvert. I love her attention to detail. The problem is, the amount of rock delivered wasn't even CLOSE to what we needed. She protested. They contested. I demur. After spreading the rock across our ditch, Robin and the crew realized there wasn't nearly enough rock. Ever the problem solver, Robin had the workers cannibalize enough rock from other sites around our yard to make up some (and I stress, SOME, of the deficit.) They complied. We paid. And the job was left undone, really. (At least, according to what we'd wanted.) After I got home to a clearly unhappy Robin, we went out and remeasured. (I am, after all, a middle school science teacher, who is always chiding his students about the importance of measuring carefully.) The ditch that we wanted to cover was, in fact, only 525 square feet, not 600. So there should have been a fair amount left over... not the other way around. So what happened? Why was our rock delivery off by a whopping 15%? (If you compare the square footage we needed with what we asked for - 525 vs. 600, which turned out to be not nearly enough, we came out with an 'underage' of 15%) Robin called Chris, who assured her that their scales were checked WEEKLY by the state. That being said, why the discrepancy? Haven't the fine folks at Mellott been in business long enough to understand how much Class B rip-rap is needed to cover 600 square feet? Shouldn't they be the experts we homeowners defer to? Apparently not. Chris didn't want to haggle or discuss the reasons for our obvious shortcomings as mere customers. Let me be clear - another vendor had also stated that six tons would be plenty to cover that area as desired - so again, what happened? Did we REALLY get the six tons we paid for? Chris told Robin he would sell us more rock, plus delivery charges, but would "withhold" the "fuel adjustment cost." REALLY?!? He would not inflate the cost beyond the normal price gouging? Personally, I'm appalled. Robin really wanted the yard done, and opted to go with ordering another two tons. It has since been delivered, and Robin (bless her heart) managed to put it all in place by herself - without having to rehire the muscle to heave it into place. (Her arms are getting really buff!) The bottom line is, instead of an extra $20 to assuage our environmental conscience, we're out an extra $200, AND this job caused twice as much truck exhaust to be spewed into the atmosphere as should have been. Personally, I'm not pleased. What would you do?
