Front Steps and Walkway Repair/Replacement
We moved in to our house in January, and one of the things that definitely needed attention was the front steps and walkway. They were made up of field stone, but the masonry had started to crumble. To make matters worse, the previous owners decided to "solve" the problem by smearing cement all over the stones, rendering them unsalvagable. After reading the numerous positive reviews on Homestars, I contacted Chris with Iberia Landscape Services. Some of the other companies we got out for estimates wanted to rip the entire walkway out, even the parts that weren't damaged! (Hmm...) Chris said that the undamaged parts of the walkway looked good, and they should be able to match the stones pretty closely where repairs were needed. It was his honesty and concern for what we wanted that won me over. His crew... what can I say about them? Extremely hard-working and dedicated (to say the least). A couple of our neighbours were commenting on how impressed they were with their work ethic. They had to hand-chip the stones down to the foundation to remove them. The weather wasn't cooperative, either (actually it was horrible). They were out early every day and worked diligently. In the end, the result is FANTASTIC! I love our new steps. They were able to pretty much perfectly match the stones. They did a great job and I'd not only recommend them, but I'd also hire them again for any other landscaping projects. Thanks Iberia!
