J Bird's did an outstanding job installing a French drain along the front and down one side of our house. Also, they connected the downspouts from our gutters to a separate underground pipe to run rain water away from the house. The contractor was very knowledgeable of how best to tackle our particular situation given the depth and age of our foundation. We live in the city on a narrow street with houses very close together. This did not hinder them from getting in and getting it all done in less than 3 days. We and our neighbors were very happy it went so fast. Before leaving they pressure washed

Jay and team were excellent. Buried an old inground pool and transformed backyard into level/usable area for the family to enjoy. Jay came quickly to quote the job and worked with us on planning and design ideas. The field team was quickly mobilized to begin work as promised and Jay was present throughout the process to help and accommodate on-the-fly changes so we were 100% satisfied. Filed team were experts, started early and spent full days completing work until done. Great value, highly recommended.

French drain, surface drain, sidewalk and reseeding work was completed today. The work was done very professionally and a sidewalk was replaced well. The employees were very qualified and handled rock and trenching issues very well. Most importantly, the water problem was resolved!

We had an issue with water laying in our backyard. Got a couple estimates and J Birds was the best price and offered above and beyond what others were willing to do. They came put in a big French drain system in my backyard and down the side, also putting some trenches in as well. With all the rain we have been getting my yard now dries pretty quick and the water no longer ponds. From start to finish they were pretty quick. I will definitely use them again for future projects.
