"We noticed some cracking on our outside walls and separation on our front steps. We realized that this is a common problem in Colorado due to the poor composition of the soil. So we recently secured the foundation of our home with Groundworks. First, let me point out that stabilizing the foundation of your home can be a daunting undertaking. It is also one of the most responsible ways to perserve the equity in your property. Groundworks has a reputation for excellence in preparation, execution, and problem-solving in foundation work. But we had never had to address this level of home renovation and the extensive landscaping in our yard complicated the scope of our project. While we were concerned about our project's complexity, we were extremely relieved at the high level of knowledge, competence, communication, customer service, and professionalism awarded to us by the Groundworks foundation team. Our foreman Clem, and his team (Luis, Noah, Ran, and Rokk) literally went above and way beyond our expectations to explain next steps, listen to us, problem-solve, and execute a solution to every concern we raised. Clem was a constant and reassuring presence on-site, informing us continually throughout the process to ensure our level of confidence and understanding. As he put it, "I am here to take care of you." He meant that, and he certainly did. We can enthusiastically state that working with, and completing our foundation project with Groundworks was a GREAT experience!"

"After putting up for years with an uneven driveway, I hired Thrasher to fix it. I was so impressed by the professionalism of both the estimator and the repair crew, and I am very pleased with the results."

"We did a lot of research prior to hiring Thrasher and we were not disappointed. Frankly I had been in denial (and fear) about the work I knew we needed done on our Midtown Omaha home because I was so concerned about the cost and impact on our brick Tudor. We had a crack in the brick near our garage and our basement had been leaking for a number of years with hard rains. From the start of the process, Thrasher was outstanding in terms of communication and education about what they do. Before we met with our Systems Design Specialist, Anthony, we had received e-mails and calls to confirm the date, along with a packet of educational materials about home foundations and waterproofing. When Anthony came to our home, he was very professional and performed a full inspection about our concerns. He prepared an estimate and we selected what was best for us following a thorough review of options he presented. The foundation work was completed first in ONE day. The basement waterproofing was completed the next week over a two-day time frame. The workers were very professional and arrived at the time they arranged with us. In regard to the basement waterproofing, we discovered one small issue. They came out immediately to correct this and all has been worked wonderfully since. We are very pleased with their work and commitment to customer service. Highly recommend Thrasher to anyone considering foundation or waterproofing work."

Due to shade, dog damage, etc., our back yard had turned into a mud yard.  The grass had thinned or died, and the soil had then eroded away.  Penton?s team added a few of inches of soil and then covered the soil with sod.

I first want to praise the Penton team for showing up when they said they would and doing what they agreed to do.  My back yard was transformed from mud yard to thick lawn.  My only complaint is with the damage done to my front yard while moving soil and sod to the back yard.  I understand that some damage is inevitable, but the other landscapers that I have seen put boards down to limit the heavy equipment damage.  Penton?s team instead put down narrow sod patches to cover the tracks left by their track steer.  This left a very uneven patch of lawn, with high tracks where the sod was set bordered by low ?barrow pit? areas.  Friends and neighbors have literally tripped due to the very uneven strips.  I don?t know how the damage can be repaired without stripping, leveling, and then re-sodding the area.

I?m very thankful for the work that John?s team did for us, but I get a little angry every time I mow the damaged area.

"We weren't real happy with them. It was supposed to be a day and a half project. These two clowns came out and got it done in a day. They used a small tractor to haul the gravel to the back of the house. It left ruts and tank tracks on the side of my house. I had to fill it in with bags of sand to get the tracks out of the side of the yard. They were supposed to put paving stones in the back of the house but they laid them down on the ground and didn't dig out the ground. They would rock back and forth when we pushed on them with our feet. The edging was not square again the fence and was 3 inches short of coming to the patio. They damaged my air conditioner. They did not clean up after themselves. There was dirt all over my driveway. They had their radio blasting all day. I went out to talk to them twice and they didn't seem interested in talking to me. The plastic guard they put down to keep the weeds from popping up was short by 4 to 5 inches in some areas. They didn't level the dirt before they put the gravel down. They didn't make it look decent. I found pins and all kinds of things in the yard. They dumped the rock on top of the plastic and the rock was spilling out the gates and going into the neighbor's yard. We were pretty upset and got the owner back out. He said that he didn't think it looked that bad. We had gone with a small local company to help support the local economy. It cost more money but we wanted that personal touch. He acknowledged that there were a couple of things they could have done better but he didn't want to own up to any more than that. Somebody had slammed a wheelbarrow into the air conditioner. They did reset the paving stones so they wouldn't wobble. They did level it out. He said they didn't clean up because there wasn't a hose and there was a hose on the side of the house that had been there for 5 years. They did fix a lot of our complaints and the 3 of them were here about 5 hours. We had the air conditioning company come out to check to see if it would work and we deducted $100 off their bill to pay the air conditioning company. We took pictures of all of it. We would not use them in the future."
