Overall I was satisfied to some extent. On the positive side.. the contractor was accessible...he offered options and we got to a solution that i could afford. The stones were laid and compacted. The only negative is that the contractor seemed to be in a hurry to get to his next job. Some of the stones were not compacted properly and when I informed him he said he would review at a latter date...probably in the rainy season which I didn't find appropriate. Other than that minor issue he did a satisfactory job.
