Report
I was having trouble getting through the county requirements so I contacted LDS. Ross was absolutely amazing in helping me through the process. He designed my storm water plan and worked with my wetland consultant. I'm very pleased and so thankful he was able to help me. Also was impressed with his responsiveness. I could always rely on him getting the job done in a timely manner.
