Land Con Ltd

This project was completed in August 2012 (apologies for the delay). I dealt with Jeremy who was friendly and honest and easy to work with. He made recommendations for our project and we decided to complete the driveway/walkway/retaining wall using Oaks Ridgefield Plus.

It rained on day 1 but they were able to excavate everything in preps for the interlocking the next day. They completed the project a lot faster than I had expected - it took basically 2.5 days (would have been even faster if it didn't rain). Ofer was around when they were finishing up, and even took the liberty to reseed the edges where grass was damaged.

I was absolutely THRILLED with the final product, until I turned on my irrigation system. It was obvious damage was done when they dug out the areas around the driveway. Water was coming up from underneath the pavers and gushing out the end of the driveway. I contacted Jeremy immediately, and he sent his irrigation guy 2 days later. The irrigation person had to dig out some of the pavers to fix the problem, so the team had to come back to patch it up.

The following day when I returned home, I was so upset with what they "fixed". The beautiful driveway was destroyed with the awful patch work they did to fix up the damaged areas. One paver was obviously cracked, another was raised and not even with the rest of the pavers, one paver at the end of the driveway wasn't even the same material - it was a different colour! I couldn't believe this was their work because they did such an amazing job 3 days earlier. I emailed Jeremy and Ofer and they told me they would send someone to fix again in a few days.

We were away for 3 weeks following this fiasco, and we were happy that it was fixed when we returned. However, we noticed the polymer around one of the new pavers never set, making us think it wasn't polymer they put in. I emailed Ofer again and he said he would send someone right away. Few days after, I could still stick a key into the "polymer", and then I just stopped checking. I haven't thought about it all winter and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my key isn't going to sink right in when I check it once the snow melts.

Overall, the driveway is beautiful. It's definitely not as perfect as pre-damage, since the patched areas are still not 100% (but only my husband and I know it's there). I would still recommend Land-Con (and I have), but what makes a good contractor a great contractor is how well they communicate and how they deal with problems if and when they arise. I hope this review will help these guys deal with problems with more care in the future.
