Get matched with top gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape pros in Tappahannock, VA

"It went very well! Lewis Services is prompt and professional. They take pride in their work and do a wonderful job! We have used other lawn companies before to mow for us and they would come when they felt like it, whether the grass needed to be mowed or not. They would not do a thorough job mowing and weed eating. We are very pleased! Thank you for your dedication and hard work! Your caring attitude is appreciated!"

"Highly recommend this company! Corey immediately furnished me with their insurance declaration page once we came to an agreement on his estimate. The Team Work was amazing! Employees were professional & very polite. The equipment was tip top shape. They took down 5 trees & multiple stump removals soon after. I loved all of the modern technology they used in communicating. This was done in one day, actually finished by 3:30, including the clean up which I couldn’t have been more pleased with. I appreciated how Corey followed up with us, to ensure we were happy with their work. And to make sure the stump removal had been done."

"The Crew, as Timothy calls them were quick and efficient and very nice and very professional and polite.  Nice young guys! <br />"

"The quote was timely.  The work was performed on time. It was a good thing that we stayed around to keep the crew from making some mistakes in the layout. Essentially, we supervised the crew.  There was very little supervision by the company's management.  The work crew was great. They worked hard in some of the hotest heat of the year.  They listened to us and took care of the layout dveiations immediately."

"Mr. Basye is a superb contractor.  He was punctual, professional, hard-working, polite and very reasonably priced.  I definitely recommend him to anyone needing stones spread along their driveway or fallen trees removed from their property. <br />"

"I went to Mosaic several times, including two where I took tile samples home with me. They were great about ordering samples for those pieces where they had none. I was a little miffed that I could not return a box of unused tile because their minimum return was two boxes. That aside, they were great to work with and spent lots of time with me. Make an appointment so you get their undivided attention! <br />"

"<p>The firm's president, Randy Alverson, arrived promptly, assessed our damp basement situation, and explained in great detail the various steps of the waterproofing process.  He answered all of my questions and was so professional and reassuring that I broke my usual rule of getting at least 3 proposals for any home project, and decided to hire Chamberlin-Washington immediately.  Of course, I had done my homework and read the firm's excellent reviews on numerous websites including Angle's List, which added to my confidence in my choice.  </p> <p>The Chamberlin-Washington crew was terrific and worked so hard under very chilly and damp conditions. They first removed all of the plants/shrubs from our front borders, carefully wrapping the roots in order to preserve them.   An 8 + -foot trench then had to be dug along the front of our house, to the bottom of the foundation, in order to begin the waterproofing process.  They worked very carefully, addressing one half of the foundation at a time (including under our front porch, which was undisturbed). The crew realized that our home's exterior foundation was very rough and uneven, which meant that it wouldn't be a receptive surface for the waterproofing membrane.  Mr. Alverson came back to our house to explain the additional steps that were needed to smooth the foundation out before the waterproof membrane could be applied: grind down the rough foundation, install stainless steel wall ties, install wood forms and pour a 4" thick concrete layer to even up and consolidate the foundation.  He made sure that we understood what was going to happen, and explained that though this was an unusual step to have to take, they had done it before for with some older homes such as ours (built circa 1925).  This extra step of preparation added an additional 50% to the original fee, but it had to be done. Once the waterproofing layer was finally in place, they tested it by spraying water onto the foundation for an hour, with one person carefully monitoring the process inside our basement to make sure that no water was leaking through.</p> <p>Ultimately, Chamberlin-Washington was able to thoroughly waterproof the front foundation of our home, and we have had no further water problems whatsoever.  We were extremely impressed with Mr. Alverson and his crew -- very professional, punctual and thorough.  I highly recommend this firm to anyone whose home needs similar waterproofing work.  I should also add that Chamberlin-Washington honored the 10% discount for Angie's List members -- a nice touch.</p> <br />"

"The strengths of Green Acres included high quality work on patio areas and walls. They do extensive preparation that so far appears to provide a solid foundation for the patio and walls. The ponds they installed are quite lovely and overall we are pleased with the quality of the installation itself. Bill Garren provided good input on design. The crew generally worked very hard. In particular one member of the crew took the initiative to build a retaining wall out of rocks available at the worksite that solved a runoff problem exacerbated by the Green Acres’ installed masonry walls, but not accommodated by their design. <br /> The major issue we had involved the pervasive lack of supervision of the crew which led to mistakes, including the installation of a gutter within the parking area rather than at the bottom edge of the parking area—as we had repeatedly told Bill Garren. While Bill offered to remove and reinstall the gutter, we would have had a large repair in the parking area susceptible to <br /> generation of potholes in winter, so we opted to leave it where it is. The hardscaping plan included construction of a bench using a marble slab on site. A Green Acres employee crushed the marble slab by toppling a pallet of blocks on it. The marble slab <br /> could have been easily moved prior to placing the pallet adjacent to it or the pallet could have been placed elsewhere. We were offered no recompense for destruction of the slab or failure to construct the bench. They also ruptured the water line to the house and cut the underground phone line; both were repaired fairly quickly. Overall the work could have been done much more efficiently if adequately supervised, which would have shortened the time spent on the job and produced fewer mistakes. Several final details were not completed, in particular, the placement of additional decorative stones, which are plentifully and easily available near the construction site. Application of mortar on the front steps was totally inadequate, with dozens of gaps and holes left. While these gaps and holes were readily observable, the installer (Garren’s project supervisor) refused to <br /> comply with the our request to look over all the mortar joints and apply additional mortar where needed. Instead, <br /> he initially demanded that the homeowner point out each of dozens of defects. And finally, the crew laid a bed of <br /> gravel alongside the project area to facilitate the movement of their equipment across the bare clay. We now have <br /> an unsightly layer of gravel, in which we suspect nothing but weed grass will grow, alongside the new walkway. No attempt was made to mitigate or correct this gravel bed. A heavy truck delivering material crushed a brick pillar at top of our driveway because the driver turned in the wrong direction. We accepted Green Acres offer to rebuild the pillar and asked that they move it a couple of feet farther from the driveway. Although relocating the pillar would have resulted in substantially no additional work, Bill Garren refused unless we paid him to relocate it. We rather thought our forbearance regarding the marble slab and the incorrectly placed gutter warranted some consideration on his part. <br /> In addition, we would have appreciated candor on the part of Bill in realistically estimating the start of the project and the completion. He said he was delayed several weeks by rain. Undoubtedly the unusually heavy rain delayed him this summer. This does not explain or excuse his empty promises of a full work crew for the entire project, including when he would have people on site to correct discrepancies such as the mortar joints mentioned above and an incompetently installed electric cable for the pond pump that caused the pump to stop working. We did not have the full crew for the vast majority of the work, as the <br /> supervisor was offsite doing other jobs or attending to personal matters. <br /> Overall I think they are overpriced and I would probably not do business with them again. <br /> <br />"

"I highly recommend Custom Concrete & Masonry RVA for all your concrete needs. They installed a 40x100 concrete pad and cobblestone walkway at our wedding venue and it looks incredible. Our clients love their work."

"Phil Brown did a great job. He responded promptly for my request for an estimate and kept me posted on his time of arrival. I am selling my home and needed the work done as soon as possible. Rather than give me the estimate and come back, Phil knew I was in a time crunch and was able to do the work on the spot! Very friendly, professional, and did a great job!"
