The people he brought in to take down a tree and widen the driveway didn't know what they were doing and I wound up with badly poured concrete with a busted sprinkler pipe underneath it. Major headaches. The planter stones also were improperly done, we had to have them all taken up and re-installed.

And to all new Villagers, you are required to get approval from the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) before you start any landscaping and driveway modification work as described in the above post.
And only honest and reputable landscapers and contractors will remind you of this requirement and be willing to prepare the documents you will need to submit (drawings, details, plant lists, and revised property site plans).
