YIKES! A FLOOD!/AUSTIN DRAINAGE AND LANDSCAPE

The Tuesday before we left for NYC there was a biblical storm and water was ankle deep outside of our LR windows.  I screamed, Abe ran outside with buckets and hauled it up and away and I grabbed every towel in the house and placed around the LR windows.  We left for NYC fearful as more rain was anticipated and it came..3"-6".  But before we left we met with Scott Lockhart from AUSTIN DRAINAGE and LANDSCAPE who reassured us he would take care of this the day we returned, drew up a plan for new drain pipes, landscaping and exposing our foundation.  We left, heard about the rain from Reed and got a reassuring call from Liz that all was dry indoors and the garden did not need to be watered.  We arrived home and for the last four days a crew of hard working men (all on salary) and exceedingly pleasant have worked from 7a.m.-5p.m. doing really hard digging, drilling, paving, hauling, brick laying.  This has been an enormous task and we are so pleased with the outcome and the ease with which Scott helped us.  So if you have a flood or need drain or landscape work I recommend this contractor with 5 stars.
