Joe first gave me a detailed estimate of the work we hoped to complete on our lakefront. It involved removing existing rip-rap, shaping the shoreline, adding a sandy beach and building a new shoreline with landscape fabric, additional rock and a river rock border. Additionally, we agreed to have a large cottonwood tree stump and circular mound removed and graded. Improvement of the shoreline and property area required the removal of a number of trees and stumps and subsequent grading of additional fill and topsoil. The final graded area would be hand raked and seeded.
Joe and his crew arrived ahead of schedule, worked 10-12 hour days, reported back nightly through detailed emails and made valuable suggestions on improving our original work agreement. The final outcome was a lakefront to die for--Joe left us with a work of true landscape artistry, better than we could have imagined.
I have never worked with a contractor who communicated as well as Joe. He was engaged with this project from original estimate until the bill was paid and even followed up afterwards. He is creative, energetic and skilled. His team is friendly, hard working and trustworthy. We were amazed at Joe's work ethic--he pushed himself and his staff to reach specific goals each day. The final result is nothing less than impressive and stunning. We will definitely use Joe for future landscaping projects. I have recommended him to everyone who has stopped to look at the work he did.
