What recent reviews say

Most reviewers praise Dave's creative designs and the stone work quality, with many noting how he listens to their ideas during projects. One incident seven years ago involved unprofessional crew behaviour, but this is outweighed by consistent five-star feedback about design vision, warranty service, and quick repairs.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Mixed ratings mask a troubling pattern: some reviewers praise the crew and results, but several report serious failures. Most concerning is a drainage project that worsened the problem, then went unresponsive to calls and emails for months before proposing a $7,000 charge to fix their own mistake.

Most customers report fast turnarounds, clean-up, and polished results, with Aaron and Jess often named for effort and pride in the work. One customer's sod failed post-install; the company offered fixes at additional cost rather than warranty coverage, raising concerns about standing behind projects.
