One word description - "FANTASTIC". A shout out to Garrett who's prep work was beyond expectations. This was a four property job putting down 2 inches of basecoat and 1 inch of finish coat on our driveways. Our #1 concern was water runoff onto neighboring property. The final product resulted in water running off accross a 20 foot width evenly to reduce the probability of soil erosion from a downpour to almost "0" on the north side of job. All the workers I talked to were polite and interested in their customers viewpoint.

Team Elmer's in Ellsworth is a joke. They leave debris all over the road constantly. Having to drive around their mess is beginning to be a major pain. I don't understand what they're thinking leaving work sites in such a manner.

Report
I had my driveway asphalted by Team Elmer's on May 2nd. I had experienced a lot of bad communication with their "grating team" and "asphalt team" with this business. My driveway ended up being, in my opinion a horrible "grating job" that made my "asphalt work " being done in a way that wasn't either explained to me.why was the grade slope in my driveway finished to allow to create a large puddle of water at my driveway's turnaround area. I am definitely not satisfied with this asphalt job. Brian Roubal Suttons Bay, MI
