Not sure if it was the company owner who I was speaking with. Older man but he was very rude and not professional. Probably one of the worst services i have seen. Poor recommendations and seemed greedy for money

TNT did an excellent job. We hired TNT to install a French drain, pressure treated fence, and stone patio with an arbour. Then, they had to grade and sod the entire lot. It was a difficult job as they had to fix the mess made by the original contractor we hired. Rob, Brian, and team knew exactly what had to be done and how to do it. Very competent and professional. Everything looks and works perfectly. We recommend TNT to everyone we know. Elaine & Dario Cecchin
