Shamrock Constructors

Not sure where to begin here.
Let’s start by being nice. The owner is a nice guy. He really does mean well… and he is good at what he does.
That being said, he should not be pouring patios at private residences. His expertise, according the recent work he had been getting, is BIG cement jobs… like big buildings, city sidewalks, etc.
I wanted a 15 X 20 patio. What I got was two large «dips» and a broken sprinkler line in my yard from a cement truck driving on it. Why did the cement truck drive on my lawn? There was supposed to be a Georgia Buggy (think motorized wheel barrow) that was supposed to be there to take the cement from the truck to the back yard. He forgot to have the Georgia Buggy there, so the cement truck drove on my lawn.
It never occurred to me that they guy who has met with me several times would not be there during the pour. He was there to check the measurements, to make sure that everything was ok, etc. On the day of the pour, he was gone.
Another thing that did not go well is he put sod around the outside edges of the drying patio so he could pool up the water that was being poured on it to help it dry slowly (it was a hot day). But after the sod was removed there were large stain marks where the sod was. They never went away.
I will say this in defense of Shamrock Constructors: They tried to make it right. The owner had several guys out there for several days trying to make my lawn flat and fixing my broken sprinkler lines. He also inquired about having the patio painted for free. He also knocked off $ 200 from the final bill.
But I can’t even give two stars despite the effort. You just never drive on a man’s lawn. Incidently, he lives in my neighborhood. He has a very nice lawn. He would be furious if it had happened to him. And he would have left a 1 star review on the company who did it.
Again, you just never drive on a man’s lawn.
