I have been planning for a little while to get the front yard, porch, front stairs and driveway renovated all in one shot. After spending way too much time on the back yard renovation by myself (IPE deck, landscaping, and interlock stone) I decided to let the professionals do what they do best :-)
I am very particular with project details and execution and I've spent quite a bit of time researching, planning, and making drawings for this project. I ended up having a nine 11x17 pages project plan that was used for project scope and quotes. The process of finding the right contractor for the job was interesting, considering that I did not have any references, the internet being my primary source of information and research.
Project scope:
- Front yard landscape with armour stones and river rock, front flower bed, regrading, new soil and sod install
- Porch and Front Stairs flag stone installation
- Brick interlock driveway (double edge border pattern, herringbone brick layout) with concrete curb stones
Mimmo and his crew did a stellar job on this project and they helped making it better by advising on a number of improvements. To summarize:
- flawless project execution overall
- stuck to the agreed project time frame execution
- discussed ahead of time all project particularities
- great communication
- clean and fast work
- great work site management
- excellent final cleanup
We are very impressed by the final result, as it materialized 100% as on paper, and turned out super nice :-)
When the crew was almost done even cars passing by were slowing down to check out the work, give compliments, and ask for business cards.
I highly recommend Forever Stone Design, you cannot go wrong hiring this company.
