Carlos and Sam just did a large scale hardscape job in my back yard. I was not on location for about 95% of the work. I never met with either one of them face to face until the job was nearly complete. I put all of my trust and money into them based on a strong recommendation. They knocked it out of the park. The work looks amazing, they sent daily progress photos and the final product is just amazing. I couldn't recommend them enough.
