Too expensive!! They did a good job and quickly, however, 3k for some downspouts buried and a sumpump pipe burried for 3 hrs is outrages. Another company quoted $700 but unfortunely they were a few hrs too late. Ive been sick to my stomach. I feel u price gouged cuz i was desperate..not cool!

Bruce was on time, actually a little early. Very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. Trenched a 150 foot-sump pump line from the house to my pond. Even checked out the sump pump in the basement. Pro job. Extremely happy with price and work. Actually was able to quote me on the phone. Hire Bruce.

I called him less than 48 hours ago and the job is already done and looks fantastic. Building my pool has been an awful experience but this has been the one bright spot. Great communication, reliable, great work.

Dirt Works did exactly what they said they would do for a very fair price. I had them grade and bring in crushed stone to create a pad to build a pole barn. Bruce and his guy were efficient and did things right. I’ll be calling Dirt Works again for sure!

Dirt Works was very professional, friendly, explained everything, did our driveway exactly how we wanted it, very punctual and fast, and cleaned up before leaving. We will be using his services again when our house is done. Highly recommend!

Very happy. Had them final grade and lay sod in my backyard after an inground pool was installed. Called and came out for a same day quote. Communicated quickly with the bidding process. Once I selected Dirt Works they came out within a week and finished the project. There was one little hiccup, they covered up a pop up drain for my down spouts. After I alerted them, them came out and located it and fixed everything up. I would highly recommend and will be giving out referrals when someone asks. The dirt pics are before they final graded it. Just showing what they had to work with.

Bruce and team did a fantastic job of regrading, bringing in additional topsoil, and seeding my lawn. Price was good, they were here early and on time, answered any questions I had, very professional, and knocked the project out in no time flat! I'll add more pictures when the grass comes in.

An excellent and trustworthy contractor! We had an above-ground pool that we removed, leaving a large crater in our backyard where the pool had been. Bruce and the Dirt Works team gave me a fair quote within a day or two of contacting them, and then took care of the project quickly and with professionalism. The crater is gone, we have clean fill dirt with a fresh mix of grass seeds to match our existing lawn. Bruce talked with us about care and maintenance for the new area, as well as suggestions on other things we can do to improve our lawn. We highly recommend Dirt Works and will be using them again for any future needs!

Water was building up against my foundation and seeping over the top of the foundation into the basement. We discussed french drain options to evacuate the water. Then Bruce recommended a much less expensive, Do It Yourself solution. I always appreciate it when a business is not trying to sell my something, and in this case Bruce sold me on the idea of fixing it myself, in a straightforward manner.

I highly recommend DirtWorks. They were very professional and resolved a flooding problem on my back patio very quickly. When they arrived the situation was somewhat more complicated than they were informed of, however, they came up with an alternative solution on-the-spot that resolved the current issue in addition to preventing future issues. After the work was complete they cleaned up and left my property with minimal disruption. Great job!

Dirt works ia a company that checks all the boxes when dealing with a company. They were: Professional, on time, good communication, reasonable estimate and actually reduced the quoted price based on using less dirt than anticipated. Throughout the process owner Bruce continuously updated me on their progress and made any changes requested. Bruce and company were non stop working the entire time at my residence. I highly recommend this company for your excavation/grading needs.

With 3 dogs and constant mud and water buildup by the back door and the constant running of the sump pump, they installed a French drain around the concrete patio and sodded the barren area and after all the rain we just had, I had ZERO water issues.

100ft trench for water discharge of standing water and sump pump...<MORE> Bruce is very responsive to both calls and texts. He came out to my home to do an initial inspection and called in a locate for underground utilities. After that he came out and gauged the work to be done and provided a verbal quote on-site. We agreed on price and a few days later he had an opening in his schedule and came over to do the work. A project I thought would take two days they got done in one and I chatted with them Off and on throughout the day - very pleasant and professional. Work was done great and cleaned up afterwards - even sprinkled some grass seed when done. Would highly recommend.

i can give a true 1 star as they did not perform an actual work for me. However, I was really hoping to have a small area of my ground leveled (16 foot circle diameter to be exact) but instead got turned away. While I understand its not within their range I do not consider 26 miles to be far. Ive ran this far twice in my life. Im incredibly disappointment they did not even have anyone to recommend. Was really hoping for a better experience.

★★★★★
