Sam at DHS is an incredibly hard worker and very skilled at his craft. He sets realistic expectations (time and results), and always meets or surpasses them. He has installed front yard and backyard path/patio stonework at two different houses for us (almost six years ago at one place, for around 10k, and about two-and-half years ago at another, for 8k, I believe), and everything still looks great. No unevenness, no heaving, no cracks, etc. He wastes no time at all. Apart from maybe lunchtime and the very infrequent water break, you wont catch Sam just sitting around. Worth every penny, and then some.
