Highly recommend this company. Charlie and his team are skillful and they have the equipment needed. They built a round patio with the firepit on a slop that had a lot of huge boulder rocks in two days! The job was done impeccably, the area looks better than we could have imagined. They replanted our trees and planted bushes and grass. They left the area clean and beautiful. The best company we ever used!

5,000 square feet of my backyard was originally designed as a farm. Since I have not maintained the space in 17 years, the land became completely unmanageable. Small trees, tall weeds and grass were growing everywhere. Charles and Sons completely transformed the space in 3 days. They excavated all the debris and foliage, leveled the land, added top soil, and finally installed sod to complete the process. I highly recommend them.

Carlos was knowledgable, patient and professional. He worked with me to refine the plan many times until satisfaction. Once the project started, his crew finished the work in 2 weeks and left the site without any trash left behind. I am a very happy customer and will definitely use his service again.

Charles and Son arrived promptly to diagnose our problem. Forwarded an estimate via email with a personal number to answer any questions. He also arrived in person to go into more depth on what was to be done. His crew arrived on a scheduled day and worked through the two days to complete the project. I would recommend Charles and Son to handle any drainage problem.

Charles and Son Construction & Landscaping did a wonderful job on my patio. Carlos is a true professional from being on time for the estimate, setting up the off-site appointment to choose the pavers, to having his team finish the job 2 days earlier because of a threat of bad weather. The team was very detailed and I so happy he suggested adding the lights around the edges and on the stairs. I am looking forward to hanging out in the backyard on my new patio all summer long!
