His work is lousy and incomplete. He does not know how to lay a concrete driveway. The driveway is cracking and it has not been a complete week. He is the sole owner and does not have experienced workers to perform the work. I would not recommend him. It is horrible, horrible, horrible.

If you want someone that will abandon the job, hire this guy! We are doing desertscape in our front yard and hired him to do it. It ended up costing a lot more than he estimated but we paid it. He was running low on cash for another job so asked us to pay for our project in full before conpleted so he can finish a different job. After we paid him, he stopped answering our calls and texts and abandoned the job. Our yard is still not done yet. Would NEVER recommend.
