It's a small family-owned business and the owner instructed me to contact the person in the email about the permit. I never called and other than this short string of emails - had no other contact with either of them. I'm not sure how sending an email late in the evening makes me difficult to deal with. I guess I shouldn't have a job that requires me to work nights? Ironic that they responded even later. The comments about the insurance weren't at all relevant given the fact they'd never have been able to get insurance for the job (and I'd never have been able to get a permit from the city) because they were not registered with the city to work within its limits. A business has to register with the city codes department in order to do work there. No one can do that registry but the company itself. Insurance had nothing to do with it. "Vermin"? Yikes! They did return the deposit check promptly as promised.

Highly recommend them, you won't find a more skilled person to do your concrete in this area.

Thanks to David and his team and Melissa too!!

I am not quite sure how this company has any good reviews. They sold me hard on paving my driveway…read morefor $1,000, showed up 6 hours late to do the job, ruined the entire driveway to the point that I have cracks with grass growing out of them now. All small cracks got worse. The man who did the driveway said he would come back to redo it bc he stated it did not go on right and he needed to redo the work to fix it. I texted and called - no response. He kept giving me the run around as to when he would fix it. Called the owner, she said she would handle it and that he was a contractor who did the work (not my problem). I received NO call back or fixing of their awful work. Called them again and no answer/mailbox full. Now I have to hire another company to fix this mess. I plan to file a small claims suit. Do yourself a favor and select a reputable company, not this place!

When there is heavy rain there is water leaking from the siding into my upstairs bathroom. It's not just a few drops. I have to put a bucket to catch the drips. So, I called and asked for someone to come out to take a look - they did, his name was Mike. Mike took a look and identified the problem however he didn't have the tools needed to fix the issue, so he said he would come back the next day. Well, I've been ghosted ever since. Mike never showed. He didn't respond to any follow up texts and no one answers the phone anymore, so I left numerous messages. Totally ghosted! So much for the great service they brag about!

We got his detailed proposal within a couple days, and could tell he is trying to help us protect and keep trees while making sure they are not hazards. When we accepted his proposal I sent a picture of some large white pine limbs we lost that day due to the 16" wet snowfall. I had stacked the limbs in the street and without even letting us know, he sent a team to cut up and remove the debris from the street! And they even shoveled the snow away from the area. Plus they use electric equipment which is safer, quieter and more environmentally sensitive. So glad I met Steve and his company. Will be using them from now on.

STAY AWAY. We hired PJ with Newleaf Landdesign in March…read more2022. We discussed the design in detail prior to that starting in 2021 and he provided references that we were able to verify and even visited one of those references. He spoke well and said all the right things and agreed on price. We signed a detailed contract and agreed the work would take 2 weeks weather permitting with an ECD end of March. He urged us to pay 25% at contract signing to save our place in line cause he was busy. He started a week or so later than discussed and he asked for 50% at work start so he can bring the material to avoid supply chain issues. We expected a crew but he started off with an excuse for that and came all alone. He started excavating with some rented equipment that kept breaking. We showed grace and were patient as he started giving one excuse after another, after all small business were having issues left and right with hired help. At this point he has 75% of our money and hardly any work was being done. He then decides to go on vacation but promised us to subcontract the work to someone else to do the excavation. We have a pool of water at this point in our yard and a mountain of dirt in our driveway. The subcontractor came in April with the right equipment and from what we could tell did a decent job. Once the excavation was done in April and gravel was down by the subcontractor that's when things paused completely. PJ showed up a couple of days for a few hours followed by over 2 months of no show. We kept begging him via text to pick up the phone. The material that we paid for in March didn't show up until June 8!! We thought the delays were bad but it wasn't until he started laying the pavers that the insanity started. He did the worse job ever imagined. A toddler can stack these pavers better. Every person that would come by would comment on how bad it looked. We tried to point out issues to him that were dismissed and he would say we need to trust him as he knows what he is doing. He built steps on the side of the house with blocks that started caving within a week. He finally left the work unfinished and refused to fix the issues. He said he would sent us invoices for the material ordered and that he would give us the money back!!! we are still waiting! I don't think we are the only ones he has done this to and considering he was always on the phone selling I don't think we are the last sadly! I have photos, videos, text messages, a detailed timeline of his work and a contract to prove everything Here is where I post on next-door neighbor with photos and videos.
