Walter and his team completely updated our back yard with grading, a 100-foot retaining wall and much rock and gravel work. Walter spent time with us during the planning and finalizing of the work we wanted to ensure there were no surprises and costs were agreed upon. Walter and his workers were prompt every single day and stayed late most days until the work was completed. Good work is hard to find, but Walter demonstrated there are workers out there who still understand the concept of a good work ethic.

Walter and his partner did an amazing job prepping our front patio for laying stone for a new patio! They took out some of sidewalk panels leading to our front door and dug up dirt and gravel and smoothed the area to begin our new patio. They did it in one day and cleaned up the area afterwards.
Great job!!!
