Business ProfileforHaynes Backhoe Service Excavating & Poured Concrete

Hired Haynes Backhoe Service to install an ***** septic system and grade a lot. Mr. Haynes installed 14 loads of gravel for $4.7K that was not in his proposal, and was not ask for! He would not negotiate the unauthorized gravel delivery, so I paid the bill. Re: the septic system I waited a while for him to install. I was getting ready to leave town & called him to say I didn't want the system installed until I got back & he agreed. However, while I was gone he had his men install the system, w/ no septic plan in hand and not having seen the plan that Haynes had been sent. I called the engineer to go over to take a look. The engineer called me from the site and told me that nothing about the septic installation was installed as per the plan: wrong location & orientation; pipes over the septic field were installed upside down with holes pointing up; pipe leading to distribution box sloping wrong way; no cleanout installed be/w house & the septic tank; staples holding pipe on top of ***** bundles piercing fabric against ***** instructions; no sand certification… As a result, the engineer failed the installation. The engineer did talk with the workman who seemed to be in charge and came up with plan for correction. Haynes then later spoke with the engineer and said corrections were made. Engineer went to inspect system & failed it again telling me that he could not see much of anything that had been changed: wrong location & orientation, no sand certification... As a result, Mr. Haynes and I parted company. My impression of Mr. Haynes is that he performs tasks that he was hired to do as he sees fit. I hired Mr. Haynes to install a septic system as per an engineering plan. I did not hire him to make his own independent decisions regarding the engineers plan! The County requires septic systems designed by licensed, registered engineers, not by contractors; and there are reasons for that! I had to give Haynes Backhoe 1 star in order to post this, otherwise zero!
