A recent customer said Chris, the owner, was on site and hands on through their patio job, and asked about water and flooding at the quote before they could bring it up. He explained how he would drain the water off the property and slope the patio slightly, put an exposed well wire in conduit when he dug the area out, built retaining walls and stairs, and worked around a new chain link fence that every other quote said had to come down. Where his equipment tore up grass, it was seeded with hay and top soil.

Booth's did a great job building my retaining wall. Chris made sure it was done correctly and built to last. Good pricing, clear communication and excellent work, we will definitely use him in the future!
Chris did an amazing job on a patio for us, turning our backyard into a spot that we can relax and entertain after years of just making do with the lawn and a few chairs that sat in the grass. Not only did he do a beautiful job on the patio, he replaced our steps leading up to the house and an existing walkway, making the patio, steps, and walkway flow seamlessly around the side and back of our property. Chris was timely and in constant communication during the project, always showed great attention to detail, and was willing to work with us on any concerns we had no matter what they were. Also my property was left spotless which was majorly appreciated. We can’t wait for our next project with Chris!
I can honestly say I don’t have a single bad thing to say about the work that Chris and his crew did. After getting an astronomical quote for a deck for my backyard my dreams of the perfect backyard oasis were crushed but I decided not to give up and adjust a little bit. I called Chris for a quote, he came out right away, gave me a very reasonable price and it’s like he knew exactly what I wanted to do with my backyard before I did. We had stairs and a walkway that were in terrible shape so I just had him take care of everything all at once. I’m terrible with making decisions but Chris made great suggestions and honestly just made my vision come alive. Very reasonably priced and wonderful to work with! I can’t recommend them enough!!
French drains, patio, and new stairs were constructed. Chris was excellent to work with and pays very close attention to detail. Everything we discussed was completed and I now have a beautiful new patio to enjoy!
Chris was super responsive to my inquiry and came out to take a look the next day. Chris gave a reasonable quote and completed the work the same week even though it is busy season! The job was done exactly as asked and the workers that came were polite/hard working. Thank you again for helping us out!
