One word description - "FANTASTIC". A shout out to Garrett who's prep work was beyond expectations. This was a four property job putting down 2 inches of basecoat and 1 inch of finish coat on our driveways. Our #1 concern was water runoff onto neighboring property. The final product resulted in water running off accross a 20 foot width evenly to reduce the probability of soil erosion from a downpour to almost "0" on the north side of job. All the workers I talked to were polite and interested in their customers viewpoint.

Team Elmer's in Ellsworth is a joke. They leave debris all over the road constantly. Having to drive around their mess is beginning to be a major pain. I don't understand what they're thinking leaving work sites in such a manner.

I had my driveway asphalted by Team Elmer's on May 2nd. I had experienced a lot of bad communication with their "grating team" and "asphalt team" with this business. My driveway ended up being, in my opinion a horrible "grating job" that made my "asphalt work " being done in a way that wasn't either explained to me.why was the grade slope in my driveway finished to allow to create a large puddle of water at my driveway's turnaround area. I am definitely not satisfied with this asphalt job. Brian Roubal Suttons Bay, MI

Elmer's was repaving bugai rd and all the extra time they spent fixing the end of my pot hole filled uneven driveway was great. They brought several extra loads of road gravel to level it all out and came back the following day to add more gravel and picked up any stones left behind. I was going to sneak out and try to rake any loose gravel on the side of the road to try and fix this myself but was stoked when I saw they did it for me! To the man driving that john deer I thank you!
