Jennifer B. says, "Very rarely do you find somebody within a day to do a big project like this: first buy four railroad ties and then go replace them in a person's backyard which involves digging out rotted railroad ties and putting holes in the new ties for the rebar. Usually, you would have to organize that ahead of time, but not Reyes and his wonderful spouse who just tackled this problem and got it done. Very impressive. I will hire them again very soon."See more

Andrea J. says, "First day and we couldn’t be happier with how much they were able to accomplish. We were thankful that they had machinery small enough to fit through our back gate but still much more effective and efficient than what we had done with hand tools. They were able to clear a brick patio, trench for a low retaining wall and clear out shrubs and plants not to mention removing a huge amount of dirt. Based on other quotes an excellent value for the work. We will definitely continue to reach out to Danny for other projects."See more
