That said, Michael came…read moreover to view my job, which involved excess water off my property impacting my next door neighbor. I thought I was going to have to rejigger all of my gutters for thousands of dollars, but Michael identified the real problem as lying in my neighbor's driveway, which had a dip next to his basement door where all of the water collected. Plus, his drainage system had never been cleaned (he's owned the building for 24 years). The solution then that Michael urged us to was first for my neighbor to contact Roto Router to clean out his drains. In the event that didn't do the trick, another easy solution he suggested was redirecting my downspout from the back of the building to the front. So, while I had no need to hire Primestone, the advice my neighbor and I received (for free!) was sufficient to resolve the problem for the present, and likely into the future. Many thanks Michael!

When I first hired them to do work for me they had no reviews. I trusted them because of the way…read moreMichael spoke to me and made me feel like they could be trusted. My initial review was 5 stars because my wife insisted and was very happy with the outcome, but I was hesitant for various reasons from having to deal with them. I am going to point them out now so you can understand what its like to work with them and also what their after work support is like so you know (which is also the reason for the updated review). After having the initial contact quote with Michael I though we would have them do the job but I wanted to discuss some more details so he sent his father over (Tom). After ironing out see details I said it sounds good and he should bring a contract over to discuss the work. This was in February when snow was very much likely to come and for this reason I would drive through my driveway to park in the garage for the cold and the snow. The next day I come back from work and their are 2 men tearing up my driveway with sledgehammers and making it so now I wont be able to park in my garage. I call Tom up to complain that first of all he started the work before we even had a signed contract and second because I needed my garage and temperatures would often drop to below freezing where its not recommended to lay asphalt so there was no plan to fix the driveway so I would be left without an entrance to my garage. This felt like his attempt to ensure I cant hire anyone else since he had already "started" the work. After my complaining they laid some sand so Id be able to drive into the garage, but due to the cold weather, the driveway project took very long and the whole time I was worried it would snow and it would be difficult to clear the snow with the snow blower over half asphalt and half dirt. In the meantime they started working on the driveway and that project took forever because again their were delays due to the cold weather and the snow. Sometimes they wouldnt even show up to work on it when the weather was good because it was obvious they were out destroying other driveways to ensure more people would have to work with them. I mean they already had my work..so why finish it and not get more clients. I would call and complain when a couple of weeks with good days would go by and no one would come work on the patio and then one day out of the blue, Tom goes there while I am at work and needs to clear the patio with Water so they could apply the polymeric sand and my water is turned off due to the cold and due to the fact that he didnt tell me he was coming so he asked my neighbor if he could use their water (without even calling me to tell me about this). I go home and find out about this from my neighbor who said they told them their faucet was having leak issues and it wouldnt be a good idea but he looked at it and said he could fix it and it would only be 5 minutes. He wrapped the leaky portion with some duct tape and proceeded to use the water for over an hour. Then I had the neighbors upset with this because of him. Fortunately they werent mad at me, but not talking to me about any of this before was unacceptable behavior. Then again lots of time went by when they wouldnt come to finish the job which only needed was for them to apply the polymeric sand and then hose the area down. When they finally did come back, Michael had the nerve to tell me that they had done this but due to the bad weather the sand didnt stay. They had not done it as it was clear from the work that the job was unfinished (and I have cameras that look at those areas and when they did work I would review the footage to see what they did..also, Tom would be extremely pushy about the money even though when they want you to sign they state they wont take any money till they are finished with the job and you are satisfied, but this is not true as Tom will constantly badger you for some money to "pay his workers". But despite all this when the work was done, everything did look good, my wife was happy with the results and before finishing the job, Michael would always respond on yelp or via text within the hour and my wife wanted me to leave a 5 star review so I went along with that. But fast forward to now, and there are portions of the asphalt tearing away and at least 3 areas that look like holes are being made somehow. the photos may not be clear but what looks like wet spots is actually portions that the asphalt is tearing away. https://photos.app.goo.gl/2kTPmNaHPVmhLEod9 That along with my neighbor showing sent me pictures of a flower breaking through the asphalt right in the middle of her driveway and then coming here to yelp to message Michael and reading another review of a bad driveway and the not getting back to the person, made me very frustrated with their work. I hope this review helps others!

We were also told the mulch would be delivered the following afternoon and that the driver would call before arriving. I stayed home all day waiting for the delivery. At 4:20 p.m., I had to leave briefly to pick up my child from daycare for a 4:30 pickup. Shortly after, I received a call from Nelson Landscape stating the mulch had already been delivered. The employee who called was rude, disrespectful, and immediately demanded payment. They insisted I had been told delivery would occur between 4:00 and 5:00 p.m., which was never communicated to me. Had I been given that information, I would have made other arrangements. When I asked if I could provide my credit card over the phone, I was told no one was in the office to take payment. I then asked if I could simply call back the next day to pay by credit card. Instead of receiving a reasonable response, the employee said, "Whatever, I don't have time to deal with this," and hung up on me. After years of being a consistent, reliable customer, this level of customer service was shocking. The interaction was disrespectful, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable. We understand that mistakes and miscommunications happen, but there is never an excuse for treating loyal customers this way. Given the way I was spoken to and the complete lack of professionalism shown during this interaction, we can no longer support this company.

Exceptional Hardscape Craftsmanship by Stein Construction! I recently had the pleasure of working with Stein Construction, a hardscape company led by the talented duo, Gil and Juliana. From the moment they took on the project, their commitment to excellence was evident. Their dedicated team, including Anderson, Regis, and Luan, went above and beyond to transform my outdoor space into a true masterpiece. What sets Stein Construction apart is not just their exceptional skill, but also their outstanding qualities as professionals. Throughout the project, they consistently displayed kindness, efficiency, and an unwavering respect for both the property and the vision we had in mind. Their attention to detail was nothing short of remarkable; every element of the patio and walkway was meticulously crafted to perfection. The end result is simply breathtaking. The patio and walkway leading to my she shed exude an undeniable beauty that seamlessly blends with the surrounding landscape. The design harmoniously combines functionality with aesthetics, creating a space that feels inviting and inspiring. In an industry where quality workmanship and customer service can sometimes be hard to find, Stein Construction shines as a beacon of excellence. If you're looking for a hardscape company that not only delivers impeccable results but also treats their clients and projects with the utmost care, look no further than Stein Construction.

We scheduled them to come the following week. He and his brother showed up right on time, and promptly began digging things out. I was impressed with what they were able to do in a single day. Because rain was in the forecast, they were flexible on coming back a second day to screed the final paver base. It rained particularly hard and it became clear that there was an issue somewhere. When they came back a few days later, I pointed it out to Jose and he promptly dug out the spot and ensured it was properly filled in and compacted. They finished the job and cleaned up. After the first day, they left the site relatively clean (considering they knew they'd be back). Overall, I would 100% recommend these guys and would love to have them back to do additional projects at our home.
