Beware! T Enterprises/DirtWoodMetal are the most unprofessional, amateur, untrained landscapers…read more You will regret it if you hire them.
When installing the irrigation system, Tim cut into the cable and conductors ON PURPOSE in the name of troubleshooting. Then he just taped it up with duct tape and buried it, not knowing he had nicked the red wire. And of course it didn't work when testing with the irrigation controller. Luckily there was one spare wire that wasn't damaged that could be used. When I asked him to replace the cable he damaged because the wires he skinned to troubleshoot it were vulnerable to moisture and grounding out, he said he would not, he didn't install a pipe chase for it under the hardscaping.
Also, before the cable damage, when he hooked up to the hose bib for feed to the irrigation valves, he broke the pipe. When he tried to fix it, it still leaked badly. And he tried to hide it by covering it with pipe insulation and black tape. I had to call him to come back and fix it. At another exposed pipe location at the entrance, the pipe he installed was very obviously not straight up and down, I had to ask him to do it over and make it straight.
Also, Ryan of Dirtwoodmetal built an unstable fence screen around a separate patio. One touch with your pinky could move it. I asked them to reinforce it. Tim and he spent a day trying to make it solid but it still was flimsy. He even admitted that it would always be "flimsy". Later Ryan and Tim were in a "discussion" and one of them threw a piece of wood at my house, damaging the stucco trim around my windows. Good thing it didn't break the window, it was so close! Finally, I told them to remove the fence screen and deduct it from the bill. Such unprofessional behavior!
I could go on and on: they wrecked the existing border at the bottom of the driveway with their equipment, broke a sewage pipe the first day, and punctured another sewer pipe at the entrance another day. They broke two fence boards and tried to replace only one; only when I pointed out the second damaged one did they replace that one too. They damaged the asphalt on the crest of my steep driveway with their equipment, didn't even clean the driveway when done, dumped their sludge from tile cutter into the planting area, and then another time onto my neighbor's property. One day, Tim almost crushed another worker's head while stacking pallets. No safety awareness.
They were supposed to seal the pavers, even promising samples of the different finishes to choose from, then claimed it wasn't included in the estimate, even though I made it clear from the beginning that I wanted the pavers sealed. Not enough sand in the paver joints in many areas. No attention to detail unless you point it out to them. They were supposed to be done 2/4/20 and they were not by 2/24/20. In the end I just wanted them out. They were loud and obnoxious, n dust control, spitting loogies on the driveway, played their radio loudly, disturbing the neighbors. I cringe to think of anything else they have hidden in the landscape and how long the paver job, or irrigation pipes will last before it starts deteriorating. Please RUN from these guys are the SO unprofessional, please don't waste your money with them. They have no respect for your property.
