I had a major landscaping project designed by someone recommended by Driscoll Landscaping. Beautiful plans. However, project encountered some problems along the way that were blamed on the designer. I was told by Joseph T. Driscoll that they were doing the best they could since they essentially had inaccurate plans.
Stairs were not square to house. Driscoll said my house was "out of square" but he'd be more than willing to come back and create the "illusion" of squareness. Then had the nerve to ask for additional payment.
Walls didn't meet foundation where they were supposed to, according to the designed plans. Driscoll said this was because the plans were wrong.
Design plans were reviewed at a later date by the designer and myself and were found to be correct. Driscoll recounted several conversations he had with designer about our issues, however designer denied these conversations ever took place.
Individual stair tread heights were inconsistent, resulting in "trip stairs". Numerous delays. Hit my water main twice. Damaged gutter over garage. Left trash on site daily.
Bottom line: Driscoll botched project, then tried to cover his "you know what" by outright lying to me and my wife. Blaming it on the designer. Telling me about conversations that never took place.insisting that stairs were square when they CLEARLY were not. (I'm I design engineer, do you think I know what square means?) Very, very poor excuse for a landscaper!
