We just purchased our house in a new development, so we had a blank dirt yard in back. Several neighbors had used Alex in the past year. Everyone who used him, and his company had great things to say about how hard his employees worked. He met and exceeded our expectations. When he came to give us an estimate, we gave him what I thought was a detailed design for our backyard. He asked many questions about what I expected from the project, which I had not thought of, and by adding his suggestions created a much better design. When his employees were on the jobsite, Alex was always there to assure that every phase of the work was up to his standards. As I wasn't home during most of the construction, if he had a detail question he would call and send a photo and ask where I exactly what or how I wanted some aspect completed. Most questions came with a great suggestion which seemed to me to be an improvement, so I agreed with most, but I appreciated that he asked if it was something that we had not discussed. When his crew finished moving hundreds of wheelbarrow loads through the front yard landscaping, I could barely tell that they had been there. Creating a complete back yard with patios, plantings, irrigation and drainage systems isn't inexpensive, however I think Alex and his crew did an outstanding job and their work was a great value in the end. I have always felt it is better to do the job well the first time than to have to fix it later. Alex came through for us and we are extremely pleased with the result. read more
