Report
I had my driveway block paved on the cheap a couple of years ago. We had been experiencing some pretty severe flooding at the entrance of the drive where no drainage or soak away were put in place. I finally got around to looking at this and EKS Construction fixed the issue. The work was carried out while I was away and the guys did everything they said they would, cleaned up after and sent me photos of the works in progress. Thanks Garry. No more issues, rain or snow. The postman will be very happy he no longer has to practice his long jump when he comes around!
