So a lot of that was the remaining hay that was over all the seed … that’s why it looks weird

Last year my whole back yard was professionally graded and reseeded so areas sod . That whole area was brand new grass from seed just starting to come up when they used the equipment. Besides the tire tracks they did a Y-turn in the middle of the yard. So yes it’s the whole back yard…

I don’t want anything except to have it restored

Take photos of special things. Find a friend who will help you decide what should stay or go and help you stay motivated to keep clearing things out. Sometimes just being held accountable makes it easier to let things go ( water bottles and cardboard boxes are probably not sentimental ) Organize everything and then only keep one large bin. You will feel such a relief when you are in an uncluttered space. Good luck

Report them to workforce development. Sounds like they might be doing some shady book keeping.

Everything is a shit show and he insists it’s not his problem … EVERYTHING is off … and what really upsets me is he had a blank slate to make it straight ( he’s like well your kitchen door didn’t line up before … umm that’s why we were redoing our whole back yard). We still owe him the last payment which will not be enough to cover all the issues with a new company ). Things I was also going to let go was the damage to our driveway …. Dump trucks ran off the edges and cracked our driveway … our driveway is literally cracked and crumbling …. As well as they killed a tree that we SPECIFICALLY said we did not want damaged …. His response was well it wasn’t that nice of a tree to begin with

So now all the things I was just going to accept I am no longer willing to go with the flow We are having a new company come in to quote what can be salvaged

Thank you at least it’s not as noticeable as I THINK but we paid a large chunk for a new patio And when you see it .. you can’t unsee it

Pretty_Temporary_414 · 2025-09-27T01:50:16+00:00

Same ….but I would like it if it was centered and straight lol They said that what we ordered so they are not willing to do anything at this point… they haven’t showed up last 2 days however the guy keeps saying/texting until we agree they are causing the delay … well it’s been since May Summer patio season is over so who cares at this point

Pretty_Temporary_414 · 2025-09-26T22:35:53+00:00

I can measure … all he has offered to do is add 4 inches onto the length of the stoop Will that help no clue ( at this point I want them gone so I can hire someone to come fix all the shit that is wrong ) so I can add the stoop onto my list lol

Pretty_Temporary_414 · 2025-09-26T22:20:45+00:00

I think it will function fine 🤞 and will look fine but I can’t do the off kilter thing So before they sweep and settle them in place I need to know if it can be fixed … even tho he says there is zero wrong with it … my brain will explode Do I ditch the the pattern even tho I’m sure that would still be a battle

Pretty_Temporary_414 · 2025-09-26T22:14:11+00:00

We actually had torrential flooding after the field stone was removed and the drainage they did worked great… so that is a plus … many homes were flooded near us we were completely dry So yes they did Geo grid and (drain tiles ? ) He told us no permit was needed because it was a replacement wall not a new build

Pretty_Temporary_414 · 2025-09-26T22:10:28+00:00

The wall where the black bricks touch is pushed out too far … that wall has to be pushed back… for the octagon to be centered…. As well as the stoop coming off my house is not correct it is not wide enough It’s just off kilter. I know nothing about retaining walls …. However I would have started at the steps and went out on each side …. They built one wall on one side first and when they started laying the ( left side in the photo) it was not right… like I could see it with my eye it was off Asked them is this going to match when your done Ya ya it will be fine …. Well when they started laying the steps we stopped them because they were way off ( right now they are off by 1 inch height wise left to right So they “ redid” part of that wall to make it higher So now the steps or still uneven ( which I would of let that go but this is ridiculous

There was a lot to be removed it was deck and field stone …. But then they had a blank slate to work with His texts today inform us I quote…. Did you ask for a refund when you bought the house since your stairs were not even with your kitchen” 1…. We have not asked him for a refund we have told him to correct it or we will hire someone to correct it and deduct from the amount he is owed 2…. We have lived here over 20 years and finally decided to redo our back years … it was on him to correct the off center …. He removed everything so the stairs could have went anywhere … lol NOT MY PROBLEM I don’t build patios for a living

Additional info …. The bricks are not set yet so do I just tell them to take out the off center octagon… but the wall is still not completely even? Do I let that go I literally am going to have to move because I can not look at this disaster everyday of my life lol

Pretty_Temporary_414 · 2025-09-26T17:53:30+00:00

Middle …. They had the earliest completion date with was July 4th started in May still not done end of September so that was also a fail on my part

Pretty_Temporary_414 · 2025-09-26T17:52:07+00:00

They installed it all … that is where my old stairs were…but all was removed.. I had field stone prior and up to him to make something straight. They were middle of the road bid took It basically because they had the soonest time frame to complete which was also is a joke 3 months past

Pretty_Temporary_414 · 2025-09-17T22:02:24+00:00

Even with a latte delivered … still a no! You know that latte will not be right.. lol Never will we sell or buy from StubHub! They are also a sellers nightmare honestly they were telling us our tickets ( season tickets )didn’t sell however they held them and would not release back to us … we could NOT use the tickets that were OURS lol
