As with most people I am very quick to write a poor review and very seldom return to give any positive feedback....working with Garocco will be an exception for me. I am a person who works with artists on a regular basis professionally so I recognized the artist mentality in Gar Sewell right away. He's a little cocky and sure of himself and his ability.
We did a walkthru and I described my dream, but it was apparent from the get-go, that I didn't have a clear understanding of what I wanted...just an idea of the feeling I expected from the completed project. When Gar's concept and proposal was given to me, the bid was higher than I initially budgeted for and higher than the other bids I'd received. The plan he drew floored me. Somehow....he was able to pull from what I told him and the design he came up with was beyond my wildest dreams....still the price difference made me hesitant. I thought it over, I called around, asked questions....and in the end opted to go for the big picture.
Contract signed...two days later my yard was a mess and stayed that way beyond the anticipated 3 month time frame. I admit that it was trying for myself and my family...there were times when I was unable to contact Gar directly...sometimes a few weeks passed without any work being done and I would begin to get anxious. Gar always told me not to worry.
The final start to completion time on the project was about 5 1/2 months....the end result more stunning than I ever could have imagined...the budget went a little over the original contracted amount...due to a couple change orders that I requested as I began to see the vision become a reality.....overall I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER!!
If you are looking for a standard wham bam average pool....I'm sure he could do the job...if you are looking for a magical and artistic transformation there is no one better qualified. Hands Down THE BEST.
