Introduction: I perform Custom Work that other Smaller Contractors do not or cannot perform. I consult with My Customers as to Their Need(s), then use my experience and wherewithal to accomplish Their Work. I have an extensive range of experience and skill set when it comes to Dirt Work and certain Demo Situations. If I cannot fit the Need, I have no problem telling Potential Clients that a Project is beyond My Skills or Requiring Equipment I do not have or could not Rent. I then refer to Customers to those Contractors I believe will fit Their Need if I know of them. I enjoy Working and Meeting New People and I derive Great Satisfaction in Completing Their Work.

We did a HUGE project with Mike that some others were not willing to take on, or were charging us an arm and a leg for. Mike came out to the house twice to talk through our plans with us (we had a bumpy yard full of weeds, brush, stumps, and saplings that we needed cleared out and leveled.) Mike explained to us exactly how he was going to take care of our issues and gave us the most honest quote out of anyone we talked to about our project. We got to him early in the season and it took a while for him to be able to get our project started (which we anticipated) during that time he kept us very up-to date and had a very professional and high level of communication with us about starting the project when conditions were right. Once Mike started on the project he got it done quickly and even did a little more than what we asked for! We are very happy with how our yard turned out, and plan to use Mike again in the future if we need any other work like this done at our home!

Working with Mike was absolutely fantastic. He understood our needs / wants and worked with us when we needed some opinion or guidance. He's an incredibly hard worker and I believe went over the top for our project. I'm hoping to add some before and after pictures here soon, because what we started with to where we are now is night and day. We had mounds of dirt, a torn-down and buried shed, and even bamboo taking over our backyard (previous owner.) As you can imagine, our drainage was a nightmare. We now have the makings of a great yard. Mike was personable, professional, respectful, humble and honest. I have 3 kids and they are asking when Mike will be coming back over as they loved to watch him working out the back window. I've referred Mike to anyone who mentions anything about yard drainage / grading and I can't say enough about the quality work and person he is.

Did a great job on an unusual bush hog request and worked us in to an extremely busy schedule. Was very patient and kind to older family members who needed help. Thanks Mike!

We needed to grade and level a garden bed and the front lawn area in order to mitigate water coming into the basement. Mike conducted a thorough review of our landscape and indicated exactly what needed to be done. He completed the job efficiently. He also went above and beyond by pulling out roots for a few bushes we were pulling out. We've had rain since Mike completed the job and we believe his work has helped greatly to move water away from the house. He was also very courteous and friendly.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I do not give a quote unless I physically come and Evaluate the potential Work Site. Many times Access impacts the Work Price. I have found it is much better to talk with the Client at their Work Site and discuss their Expectations. Then there are no surprises.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I listen to my customer's need, then ask to see the area where the work is to be performed. I do not give "Blind Quotes." I meet with the Customer and listen closely to what they want, then ask related questions. I can generally give the Customer a Price Quote on the Spot. The Exceptions to that are if I have to buy materials in an area that I am not familiar.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have over 40 years of Experience in Construction Related Work. If I am not familiar with a task or a work practice, I know others who do know, and am not afraid to ask.
