A recent customer said the company took the time on the edging along the rock wall, and that all the water drained off during a heavy rainstorm. A recent customer said the driveway paving was priced reasonably compared to other quotes they received and that the company showed up exactly when it said it would. A recent customer said the company was accommodating when they changed their minds on the details after paying a deposit.
