These folks, a dad and his two sons, have subcontracted a job in collaboration with MBA , Mutchler Bartram Architects PC - Fargo, North Dakota and the City of Fargo for trenching, laying sewer and equipment lines for a new residential apt. complex. They made a terrible mess of the parking lot, alley and sidewalks. They just ran the blade along both and called it good. It left a row of dirt along the neighbor's garage that was about 15" high and about 50' long. It had tools, buckets of rocks, rebar, and rubber gloves all mixed into it. It also left a compaction of clay and sand about 1" thick over the asphalt alley and about 2" thick on the sidewalk. When it froze, it took me 2 hrs. to chip it off the sidewalk, so it was down to the concrete. They were back a week later making more of a mess, and I asked them to please use a flat shovel, to clean it up before they left, because this is North Dakota and you never know, when you may not be able to return till Spring. They said they'd just run the blade again, and I said no, that doesn't work good enough. They were very rude and argumentative. They argued several times over different segments of the job, about the quality of work that was expected of them. Even sitting in the Bobcat and squealing b!tch, over and over to me, while I was sweeping and hand shoveling their mess. To this day, there is still an unnecessary pile of frozen rubble, partially covering a portion, of a well used and well taken care of sidewalk. In the future, the city, commercial builders, and private residences, should definitely chose a more professional and responsible dirt work company, than these clowns..
