I had a quick turnaround need to clear and grade a lot and get it seeded while the weather was perfect. Tony from DCS responded immediately to my request to schedule an appointment, reviewed the project on site, and had his clear and well-priced proposal back to me promptly. He listened carefully to what I wanted and delivered on to my satisfaction.

Tony from DCS was able to come in on short notice, he listened to what I needed done, gave me a great quote and within days I had exactly what I wanted and needed! He was prompt, courteous and ensured he cleaned up after. What a great experience. Highly recommend DCS. Thank you Tony! Had to edit and remove 1 star, unfortunately, after I cleaned off my driveway I found large gouges from the bobcat bucket in my brand new concrete!

Was not prepared to do job, job was supposed to spread dirt that I purchased but no equipment available due to mechanical problems. The job should have not been accepted if you didn't have the necessary equipment to do the job.
Response from DCS Dependable Construction Solutions
"DCS only agreed to install drains only. DCS was never in agreement to do grading and resloping work. The customer later mentioned that he would like his yard graded once the commiment was already made to do drainage install only. DCS owner explained to the customer that the machine that was needed was not available due to mechanical repairs being done and can not do any grading or resloping work. DCS explained that the repairs were scheduled to be finished later that day and if that would have been the case DCS would consider doing the grading and resloping. Bottomline is this was a job for drainage install only and did not require the type of ma"

If I could rate them a zero I would. First they were supposed to arrive and start at 7:30 am this morning, they didn't arrive until 10:00 am. So unprofessional. They bring a Bobcat machine for my small front yard without telling me. They dug up the ground on my neighbor's property. The Bobcat stopped working after about 2 hours and had leaked oil on my driveway pavement (which they tried to get up with the dirt they dug up with the Bobcat). They also said they didn't know how to get up oil once it had been spilled. So they told my husband and I that they could go ahead and grate the red clay and then lay down the grass seed and hay, they did not do this. They said they would not go and get the topsoil (which was part of the job) since the Bobcat wasn't working and they wouldn't be able to lift up a load of soil at one time. I told him no, we want the top soil as agreed upon in the price. Tony said they normally plant grass seed on red clay without any problems. I said per our HOA we cannot have our front yard displaying nothing but red soil. We had told our HOA what we had hired Tony to do and they approved it since we had been fine that our front yard had bare spots and this was how we were going to fix it. I told Tony we would pay him for digging up and grating our yard but that's it since no top soil and seed was laid. Tony said he could come back in a week, after the Bobcat was fixed. I told him no, we needed it done today because we had already postponed the work for a week. The original price he wanted for ALL of the work was $850. My husband ended up paying Tony $725 for a job botched!!!! I would not have paid them more than $400 and that's being generous. Our yard is tore up, no top soil, no grass seed, big oil spots on my driveway pavement. My husband and I will have to spend money to do the job right and try and get the oil spots removed. DO NOT USE THEM! Tony has reached out to us to try to get the oil spots out but we do not trust them to do so.
Response from DCS Dependable Construction Solutions
"DCS apologize you are not happy with the work unexpected things happened. Customer is Exactly right about DCS has been reaching out trying to rectify the problem through text and phone calls but no one would respond. Customer was not charge any delivery fees or for the top soil due to being unable to get top soil when machinery stop working DCS offered to put the seeds and hay down but the customer advised not to that they will put that down themselves. The bobcat machinery went down and DCS therefore unable to get the top soil and a discount was given that's why DCS went down on the price. As for going on to the neighbors property that's we"

DCS did an amazing job! Wr initially hired them for one smaller job, but was so impressed that we decided to increase the scope of work into a much bigger job. The owner Tony is very knowledgeable and his recommendations were great. Tony was also very professional and went over and beyond to ensure we were satisfied. I would highly recommend DCS!

I contacted DCS on Monday and Tuesday Tony was here ready to start my project. He listened to my grading concept and installed a rock pathway from front to back of my house. He set me up where I could make some modifications and finish up the landscaping at my own pace. His price was very reasonable. I would use him again

May be okay for work outside residential areas. Did by word, not written and changed his understanding of the project multiple times. I would recommend recording such discussions. I now need to look to find another provider.
Response from DCS Dependable Construction Solutions
"DCS apologize if the customer feel as we did not do a great job. DCS did communicate with the customer as clear as possible and explained that there was no way that our equipment will fit in such a small space. DCS even tried to help even more by going down on the price of the job and even provided a load of FREE dirt. It is not DCS obligation to find another contractor if we can't do what the customer is asking. We are only obligated to do what was agreed. Also All customers should understand that they can not change what was/is agreed and discussed prior to the job starting and in motion. And please understand that DCS is in the business to"

Tony is a responsive and ambitious business owner. He clearly explained the job, answered questions, and scheduled my water drainage project within days. He provided the materials and labor to complete the project in a timely manner. He is decisive and flexible, and makes needed adjustments to ensure quality results.

He kept his word and he even went a step further to haul the debris. Had a reasonable fee. It rained during the course of the project and he stated he needed to come back. He kept his word and came back on time, he is also highly efficient and he worked with me on budget.

Was estimated work to take "One day, maybe two." Tony was in and out in 5 hours. I wish he took more time and did better work.
Response from DCS Dependable Construction Solutions
"DCS apologizes if the customer feels as if DCS rushed the work. DCS is in business to make a money. Time is money. There is no reason for DCS to drag out a project. At the end of a project DCS does a final review with the customer to make sure the customer is satisfied with the work that was done, or if there anything that DCS missed. If the customer does not express their concerns during the final review DCS leaves believing the customer is happy. Just because work was done in less time does not mean that DCS didn't provide the best service possible. Keep in mind all projects doesn't always take days to complete when you have the right equipment to complete the job."

Disappointing
Response from DCS Dependable Construction Solutions
"DCS wants to apologize that you were disappointed with our services. DCS makes it known to all customers that they are responsible for paying for their own supplies. DCS also explains to all customers up front at the time of the initial mtg when customers are seeking a quote, if it will be a job that we can commit to or not. Unexpected situations do occur sometimes and sometimes these situations calls for a compromise in order to get the job done. If customers are unwilling to compromise this can possibly leave the job unfinished by the contractor. If the customers threaten DCS and demand us to get off their property then the customer will be disappointed because the customer terminated the job on their own."
