I am the homeowner and I would like to respond to this. On Friday afternoon as the crew was finishing up for the day, they began to wheelbarrow up the dirt that was in the road and was to be used in my yard. The skies opened up and it was really pouring. They worked in the downpour to bring the dirt up in the yard and cleaned up the residue in the road as best they could given how hard it was raining. Because the storm drain is located in front of my house, I know that storm runoff does collect any debris on its the way to the sewer. The following morning when it was dry, whatever was left near the sewer was cleaned up by their workers. I certainly regret that my neighbors were inconvenienced or distressed in any way while this project was done and if they are referring to something different than what I am addressing, that they speak to me or to Jason directly. I do understand that it is completely within their rights to file a complaint when they feel something is wrong but my experience with Jason Schmidt Landscaping has only been a positive one. His workers are skilled and respectful and I am totally pleased with the work that was done. I would, and I have, referred him to others considering landscaping work.
