We retained Shovel and Spade for our front landscaping and sidewalk renovation. They gave us a very detailed bid along with scope of work that exceeded our expectations. They were very creative during points in the renovation when we were at a bid of a stand still on how we would proceed. Their pricing was commensurate with what they delivered for us. They were timely and reviewed progress daily while keeping a very neat worksite daily from start to finish. We would not hesitate to retain them for future projects and would suggest you do the same.
Thank you Tim! We appreciate your support!
