“I took bids and interviewed several companies before deciding to go with Earth Stone and Water. I could tell right away that Mike and his crew had the kind of work ethic and talent I was looking for. I was not disappointed. They were at work when they said they would be and stayed with the job until completion. The finished product was beautiful and exactly what I wanted. Not only can I say I’d hire Mike again, I have. Trustworthy, honest, diligent, these are the words that come to mind when I think of Mike Layden and his crew at Earth Stone and Water.”
