Client Feedback/Review
This job was recently completed in 2013. Design & excavation by Bill Votruba. Landscaping contracted by homeowners.
Following is a review from one of the clients at this project.
When we bought our home in Avon Lake some years ago, it featured a 25 foot high fenced-off cliff overlooking Lake Erie, stretching 100 ft across. While the view was great, over time the soil at the edge of the cliff eroded to the point where parts of the fence were hanging in midair. We hired BVC Enterprises to do something about erosion control, and to add lake access. Apart from telling Mr. Votruba – Billy – that we wanted a dock and a fire pit, and establishing a budget, we really did not give him much direction. As it turned out, this was a very good thing!Under Billy’s direction and vision, we ended up with a magnificent piece of Lake Erie frontage, as unique when viewed from the water as it is from land. We now have three new levels from which to enjoy the lake, whether it’s fishing or boating from the new concrete dock, enjoying the huge firepit area at night, or simply relaxing with family and friends around the new giant stone table. Billy provided two sets of stone stairs for access, and lined all the new levels with beautiful huge soldier stones from his quarry. There are plenty of areas, from large beds to tiny crevices, for plantings. Best of all, because the stone Billy used is local, it all blends into the surrounding landscape seamlessly.Billy is extremely easy to work with, and both he and his staff are very responsive to phone calls, emails, and texts. Any concerns we had were quickly and thoroughly addressed, and the work was done within the allotted time frame with a minimum of disruption especially considering the huge scope of the project.We are thrilled with our new beautiful and functional back yard, and would be happy to recommend Bill Votruba and BVC Enterprises to anyone looking to create a unique look on their lakeside or riverside property!
