I can not say for the whole company, but one truck was so careless and danger on the road, which makes me think of this company as unsafe. I was crossing the railway crossing in a safe manner, but the driver did not like it! he honked like a crazy, did not keep his distance, from the back of my car, following to close on the ramp, was aggressive. Truck number 172.

I don't know what these people are talking about. The boys at Cliffshore went above and beyond. Even filling in some depressions in my backyard with the extra fill they had on-hand - at no charge! The were fast, polite and curious. So much so that I tipped them which is way out of character for me! LOL

Waiting for their street cleaner to come whizzing through our development again .Two years ago he left most all of the sand on the street and the rest up in the air as dust. Geranium couldn't have picked a worse company if they had tried.
