This was a perfect case of the old saying, you get what you pay for. Pablo is a nice guy but I don't really think he understood that I had a fair amount of knowledge of how dog turf was installed. I do. I only hired him because I didn't have the time or inclination to do the work myself. There were also a couple of times I don't feel he was being honest with me. (I have the internet too and lying about stores being sold out of stuff is something I can check. )Bottom line, what I got wasn't what he said would be done.
1. Area was not leveled so.. there are low spots where water gathers and does not drain during rainy periods.
2. His crew left gates open, trash and tools laying around during non-working times including razors, staples and nails.
3. Tool 3 weeks to complete, not the 3 days he claimed. This was probably due to the crew showing up around mid day and leaving around 4pm.
There are a few petty items but you get the idea.
The positive is that I saved about 3k .. but feel I will need it redone in the low spots.. sooo.. I'll see what that adds to the cost.
Overall, it's much better than I had and the dogs are happy... but they're dogs so.. it's their dad that has the issues I suppose. read more
