text: I hired Mauri to landscape my backyard.  While everything looked nice when they finished, there were serious functional flaws with their work.  \n\n1. They failed to maintain the proper slope for drainage, so at times of heavy rain, the backyard flooded.  When called back to look at it, they did not offer a solution.  We had to fix it ourselves.\n2. When they installed the pond / waterfall, they placed the filter system right up against a young palm and buried the hoses and accessories right around it.  As the palm grew, the roots broke the filter and made it impossible to dig up the hoses and accessories.  I am currently paying someone $500 to fix this snafu.\n3. Part of the job included running electrical to a hot tub, which they subcontracted out.  The electrical was not done to code and they actually attached the breaker box to the side of the hot tub, below the water level.  Of course, if it ever overflows, the water runs right down to the breaker box.  No experienced electrician would ever do this.
