What recent reviews say

The bulk of the 12 reviews praise Sue Shorey's direct involvement in design, her team's reliability on time and budget, and their willingness to stay within scope rather than upsell. One one-star review claims deception and yard damage, but eleven others consistently cite fast turnaround, respectful site conduct, and results that exceeded expectations. Detail is limited by low review volume, though repeat mentions of patio work, retaining walls, and fence/gate builds appear across multiple accounts.

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