Repair Flagstone Steps Leading To Front Porch
The stairs leading to our front porch had sunk significantly over the years and were no longer within code. More importantly, they were posing a risk to those people that walked up our stairs (especially the elderly).When we tried to get a landscaping company to inspect our stairs and quote on a solution, most of them did not want to help us because the job was not big enough. The standard response was that they would do it for $2,000 (minimum) to justify the exercise. This was quite disconcerting to say the least.
One day when we were driving home, we noticed that Hawksdale Landscaping was doing a job in the area. We decided to call the company to see if they could help us. The owner (Anthony) was extremely pleasant on the phone and sympathetic to our problem. Within 2 hours, he came to our home to inspect our stairs. Unlike all of the other landscaping companies that we had contacted, he was willing to take on our job without hesitation. Much to our surprise, he was prepared to do the work at a fair and reasonable price without taking advantage of us and our pocketbook.
The owner and his crew were pleasant to deal with when they came by to do the job. They were extremely respectful of our property and took the time to explain everything that we needed to know about the actual work that they would be doing.
My wife and I were totally blown away with the way things turned out. Hawksdale Landscaping met and exceeded all of our expectations. Based on our overall experience, we would have no problem recommending them to other home owners.

It was an equally pleasant experience for all of us to work on your home. We take the opportunity to do good work for great people, the small projects (especially steps) are just as important and still need to be done correctly. Now you have safe steps. Thank you both, have a safe winter.
