The guys worked so hard and were attentive to every detail. We were surprised at the amount of work it took to build our patio. So much was done and was done with so much "know how". Would highly recommend them! Tara

B&D did some work for me about 1.5 years ago. We had an issue with some heaving and drainage because of the unusual winter. I called B&D about the issue and they came out and fixed the problem. Great customer service, they stand behind their work. thank you very much!
