I also have mixed but mostly negative feelings about Rothwell. They did a patio using buffalo blocks which looked nice. The moderate slope of the yard meant that every rain flooded the patio. Still, not a bad job. Then I had them build a fence in our back yard using cedar posts and rails and hog panels. They did it and it was so much better than no fence, but it was really thrown together and not really a good job. I made excuses for them - it wasn't a design they were used to doing. But I went back for more and had them landscape our back yard - shrubs, flowers and a sort of free form lawn. They never finished it to my satisfaction. Said they would add a shrub in a big empty space right past the patio. Didn't do it. We had a big rainstorm right after they laid the sod, and a lot of it, maybe a third of the pieces, slid into and over each other. They sent one guy for an hour to pull a few pieces back in place. The lawn is nice and green, but a pain to walk on since the surface is so uneven. A lot of the plants they planted never made it through the winter while the same plants that I planted at the same time did. The biggest disappointments though were a trellis they built, again with hog panels, that's really a piece of crap and a winding gravel and stepping stones walkway that's unusable. Walking on the gravel is like wading through quicksand and the stepping stones are so irregular and oddly spaced that I'd have to be tap dancer to walk on them. Said they would fix that and never did. read more
