I am so glad we hired Jacobsen. Our flagstone front walkway was falling apart, and our tiny backyard was overgrown, long overdue for restoration. Having just removed the kid's trampoline from the 13-foot wide by three-foot deep hole I dug for it 15-ish years ago, I did not want to spend my summer filling it back in. A lifelong DIY-guy, I was ready for some help. From the first planning visit until the last grass seed was down, Glenn Jacobsen and his team Nick, Jacinto and Mario impressed us with their personal attention, professionalism, hard work, thoroughness and respect for the job, even though I'm sure it was a fraction of the scope/scale of most of their other contracts. Glenn took time first to walk the area with me and explain his approach to our unique situation lots of shade, tight spaces, an older brick patio with sloping edges and rotten timbers, drainage challenges and well intended but misplaced plantings. We negotiated options, settled on a plan and the job began within two weeks. The crew arrived on time every day, and asked questions or explained their work along the way. Nick made regular visits to review progress and troubleshoot to stay on schedule. Glenn even stopped by early mornings and left his inspection notes for us. Ten days later, despite an unusual about of rain, our yard looked brand new with clean lines, neatly planted beds, a refreshed patio and a handsome new walkway from the sidewalk to the front door. We were especially impressed with Jacobsen's hardscaping. The patio work required a lot of precision cutting and deep cleaning, and it really looks new. Oh, and this week the grass in the rear lawn and around the front walk started to sprout, right on schedule. Now if they could just do something about all this rain ;-)
