We were one of the first to build in our Village, therefore, got to watch a number of homes go up around our new home. Overall, the contractors do a great job. I would give most parts of the construction process an A. However, two parts I would give a B and they are concrete and landscaping. From my observations they could do better with concrete if they gave more time and effort to the base prior to pouring the concrete. On the landscaping, again more time and effort to what is in the yard prior to laying of the sod and putting in place the trees and bushes. With just a little more time and effort some annoying cracks in the concrete might be avoided and also so called "hot spots" in the yard. My expertise in these areas is limited and these are only my observations.
