"Nick has first covered the working area so the kitchen counter and floor were protected before he started installing the backsplash. He is very detailed and finished the work within 1.5 day. The screws for outlets needed to be shorter after the tiles were installed and he went ahead got the screws to put the outlet covers back on. He cleaned the area after the installation as well. I am very happy with my new kitchen backsplash."

"This company did a wonderful job on the pavers for the patio. It seem to be a difficult job due to the slope we have in the back yard. They executed the job great. We are very happy with the results. I would recommend them to my family and friends any day."

"Professional conduct : driver called before arrival and arrived when he said that he would. Dropped mulch exactly where I wanted it and avoided hitting electrical wires/garage. The mulch is finely shredded, nicely scented, easy to disperse, and attractive. My yard looks considerably more attractive with this mulch. <br />"

"<p>Excellent / professional company.  You get what  you pay for with these guys.  They are more pricey than their competitors, but they do the job right and you can be sure you are getting work that will last. Several of our neighbors had used them previously and told us to just pick Allied if we want it done correctly and stop wasting your time (i.e. we only had to look at their completed jobs and how they were aging to know what we were getting for our dollar).</p> <p> </p> <p>We had a grading issue and were VERY VERY CONCERNED and specific as to how we wanted the water to flow.  Ken the Allied Engineer / Sales Rep was extremely helpful and we consulted him multiple times before agreeing on the work to be completed.  He went above and beyond in trying to help us with our problem and offering his advice / support.  He spent a lot of time with us to understand the specific problem and to be certain their work would help or correct the situation.  The driveway was completed quickly and everything looks great!  Best of all our concerning grading / water flow issue has now been entirely solved!!  </p> <p> </p> <p>Great work Ken and the Allied crew who completed our job.  Thank you!</p> <p> </p> <p>  </p> <br />"

"Started out really good. Jim met with us, listened to our needs and preferences, and put together a solid design that met our requirements and fit in our $15K budget. Construction on our project was started and finished at the agreed-upon dates. So, what didn't we like? 1) The biggest concern was the drainage basin that was created in the front yard. A 5 x 11 pit was dug and filled with landscaping stones; then sodded over so it would not be visible. The pit receives the runoff from the downspouts, sump pump, and french drain along the side of the house. A genius idea, except the sod over the pit all died early the following season. When we called Jim he said there was no reason the grass shouldn't have grown, but he would be happy to do a proposal for a hardscape (additional cost). It wasn't until this year we dug into the dead sod and discovered the reason - the sod was laid right on top of the rocks and felt and no topsoil was used. Our voicemails on Jim's office and cell numbers, inquiring about the pit were not returned. 2) Issued reported within the one-year warranty were only partially addressed. Some areas of dead sod were replaced immediately, but a few dead plants we reported were never replaced. Joint sand that eroded on the patio was also not addressed. These were after we emailed a reminder the following spring, and were promised the issues would be fixed that season. 3) Jim said with certainty that a layer of topsoil was added in the yard before the new sod was installed. We have since dug into several places in the yard while doing later projects, and found this was not the case. 4) Jim did not seem to have an appreciation for modern irrigation systems. Though we spent the extra money to extend and improve our sprinkler system to cover all the new landscaping, Jim insisted on our hand watering every plant and bush daily for the remainder of the season, which took something like 2 hours a day of moving the hose from plant to plant. (until we added splitters on the hose to water multiple plants at once, but still a lot of effort) 5) Other than telling us to water for hours, no care instructions were provided. 6) The last couple times I have left messages on Jim's office or cell number, even with just simple questions, they were not returned. So, did we get our money's worth? Mostly, in terms of the work that was done. Some corners were cut but overall our requirements were met. But was I treated the way I would treat a customer who entrusted me with 15K of work? Given the missed warranty issues and unreturned calls, definitely not."

"Everything turned out well, we didn't have any problems with their service."

"Bud and Jane were a pleasure to work with. We had work done twice; once in the fall of 2015 for the front and once in the spring of 2016 for the back patio. The quotes were spot on. We had them come out and setup lights prior to install so we could see how it would look and make any adjustments. Even after the last install my wife and I decided to have a couple of adjustments.  Bud came right out when he was first available.  They were very flexible with our schedule for install.  I highly recomend them."
