PADA LANDSCAPING

I had sod and driveway done with interlock trim down the driveway.

At the beginning it was all help and about the customer, great customer experience and pricing was fair. He started the job as requested, within a couple weeks, and worked diligently. Things turned for the worse when he made a mistake on the driveway and as a paying customer I asked to get it fixed. He did the driveway paving late at night after another job first therefore the asphalt was not as hot, he could not see and he ran out of asphalt. The end of the driveway dipped down lower right before the curb and water pooled at the end. Not only that, but the rolling was a terrible job and left ridges in the driveway. He started pushing back saying I was overreacting and it was not a big deal. I was obviously not happy with the result so asked that it get fixed. Begrudgingly he ripped up part of the driveway and redid the end as well as cutting down the curb a bit to fix the draining issue. He used a compactor instead of the roller, which now the part he patched was compressed differently and pieces were flaking off. I was expressing my concerns when he started to push back and kept saying the original work was done and he pushed to be paid. I was not willing to pay until my concerns were addressed. Without notice he filed to put a lien against my property to push for payment even though I was well within a 28 days of what he felt was a completed job. He broke stones down the side of my house when he drove his machine in the backyard for the lawn work. As he caused the damage, he said he would replace it. He could not find the same stones so attempted to use another stone I had extra that did not match. I was not happy so provided a compromise that instead of him buying all new stones at his cost down that side that he use one from the other side and replace it with another design I had (this this was lower traffic area). He was careless with the work and did not fill the extra river stone around the patio stone as full as I had been asking. He damaged work in the front garden and did not return it the same so I had to ask him to fix it again. I asked the lawn to be raised in certain areas but he did not do it, this was something I had to go out and correct. He pushed back on every decision we had to make to make his job easier.

I would NEVER recommend this business to anyone. He is rude, an oppressor and not a professional. Do not hire this company or individual for any job.
