- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
You get what you pay for. There's a big difference between the cheap way, and the right way. Cheap materials, and not installing projects per engineer and product specifications will lead to projects that will only last a few years. Installing things with the correct base, correct drainage materials, and block that is designed for your application, will lead to projects that will last 20+ years.
