**★★★★★ — Sally Yeilding, April 2017**

> We have hired Aaron Plasters of Build LLC many times.  First he installed our zoysia lawn.  We were so pleased that we then had him do our entire yard re-landscaping project.  He also waterproofed our basement in addition to other minor projects.  Aaron has a can-do attitude and works through projects until the customer is completely satisfied. He is upfront with costs and is budget conscious. He is a man of integrity and honesty. I highly recommend Aaron Plasters.

**★★★★★ — Mater Natura Designs, April 2017**

> As a landscape designer I have worked with this company numerous times each with an outstanding result.  Professional, courteous, knowledgable, and conscientious are adjectives that come to mind when describing Build, LLC.

**★★★★★ — Kami R, March 2017**

> The first time we hired Aaron in 2012 was to cut down 7 trees and clear all the underbrush and overgrown weeds from our property.  A few months later, we hired him to grade the land in order to build a playset for children. A year, he and his guys ripped out the nasty flower beds we inherited with the house and installed new ones. In 2016, he tore up our worn out asphalt driveway and poured a beautiful concrete drive, as well as put in the new basketball goal for our boys. Finally, he laid out new zoysia sod in the backyard. We keep on returning to Aaron for everything we need done. He takes the time to listen to what we need, has great suggestions when I need ideas, he can work with a budget, and the job is always done on time. I appreciate that he pays attention to the little details and uses quality materials. Each time I need a project done, I always get a few quotes. Aaron may not be the cheapest quote 100% of the time, but he's certainly very competitive. It's always pleasant to work with him and we highly recommend using him!

**★★★★★ — Joe and Ginny Leavens, March 2017**

> Build, LLC added a new double driveway, installed a sailor course brick accent, with sailor course brick flower beds and a hand-laid brick sidewalk and landing. We took multiple bids and not only were they the most cost-effective, they were also one of the easiest and most professional contractors we have worked with. They gave us a quote on Monday, started the job on Thursday and were finished by the following Wednesday. Highly recommended. (Excuse the leaves in the picture.)

**★★★★★ — Kevin Barlotta, March 2017**

> I was introduced to Aaron & his team by recommendation while looking for someone to take on an extensive landscaping project in my backyard. Aaron and his team exceeded my (relatively high) expectations; demonstrating constant professionalism, exquisite attention to detail and were very efficient in their work! Aaron was on-site each and every day to ensure work was completed to his high standards and we are thrilled with the result. We have already completed a second (separate) project with Build, LLC!! High recommendations!!

**★★★★★ — aajwright, March 2017**

> Can't say enough about the quality of this company. Aaron has landscaped our last 2 homes. I would recommend Build to anyone. From planning and design to project completion, the process was streamlined and communication was great. Complete transformation.

**★★★★★ — Jimmy Brady, March 2017**

> I spoke and met with numerous landscaping companies in and around Birmingham concerning a complete backyard renovation project.  Essentially, we wanted to take a wooded hillside lot and convert it to a flat sodded backyard.  Aaron's vision and expertise helped bring this vision to a reality.  Aaron was on site everyday and had the capability to handle all aspects of the job in house (no other outside contractors) including taking down over twenty (20) trees in front and back yard, demo of existing shrubberies, dirt work and leveling, drainage, sprinkler system, retaining wall, new patio installation, retaining wall and installation of sod, shrubberies and pine straw.  There was a level of satisfaction having the owner/boss on site everyday making sure the work was completed to my satisfaction and making sure the progression of work was meeting my vision.  Even more impressiv, once the job was completed Aaron continued to check in on the yard and with me to make sure things were coming along and there were no issues.  There was a heavy rain about a month after installation and Aaron and his guys were at our house the following day to make adjustments to the drainage, even to the point of digging up sod and relaying it so that water would move the proper direction and areas would not be over saturated.  Last Fall we experienced a severe drought where no rainfall occurred for several months.  While I tried to water as much as possible, water restrictions caused a limited portion of grass to die in the front.  Aaron and his guys were back out this Spring to replace the portions that did not survive.  I could not be more satisfied with the work Aaron completed for me and will rely on him for all my needs in the future.
