Response from the owner · 5 days ago
Hello Stephen, thank you for the feedback. I looked into our system and did not receive a call from you regarding the service so I would like to address this asap. My office will be calling you today to see if we can come back out to fix any areas that may not be in the 1/8th to 1/4 inch range of acceptable sand levels. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we will be in touch today.
Have a wonderful day!
