Hired on Thumbtack

Ben was able to layout and compact 12 cu. yds. of fill to level my front yard for a remodeling project. He did a great job moving material with his excavator, spreading it with the skid, and then patiently running the plate compactor until the base setup like concrete. He was also able to install solid granite steps, lifting the stone with his machine to carefully place each with just the slightest pitch to shed water. Nice guy with attention to detail and experience on how to do the job right. I highly recommend Ben!

Ben built me a shed and a supporting concrete and brick platform with a walk way leading to it next to my garage. When we first met he gave me an impression that he knows his job really well and is a high integrity individual. In this first meeting he walked me through the plan and stated he can't start the job for approximately 2 months. Although I was in a rush to get the job done I was so impressed by his transparency that I gave him the job. He started the job almost to the day that's he promised and deliver the high quality construction. I recommend him highly.

Ben did a great job, and it really wasn't easy. The roots of the bamboo were extensive, but now they are above ground and ready to be disposed of.

We hired Ben to lay down a gravel pad on a sloped area for a shed. He did a great job even in the middle of the summer heat! Thanks, Ben!

Ben installed a channel drain for me to route rainwater away from the house. He was very thorough and responsive, coming back a second time to reseal the drain after it rained. Highly recommend him for any projects. I will definitely hire him in the future for some land leveling work.
