I recently hired Travis to level out dirt on my property, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, he was incredibly kind, transparent, and professional. He communicated clearly throughout the entire process, letting me know what to expect and when, which made the whole project smooth and stress-free. Thank you Travis!

Travis was very easy to work with, very responsive and professional. The crew was considerate and thoughtful. I needed a platform for a 11 x 7 foot shed. The project was completed in less than a day even with an unexpected issue (no fault of Travis's). If there is any criticism it is that Travis seemed too focused on keeping costs down. But when I asked for upgrades he quickly adjusted his estimate to include them. I think the platform came out great.

Although we didn't end up using Travis for our project, I was very impressed by his professionalism and willingness to answer any and all of my questions. He provided us a clear and complete estimate and was more than happy to edit it when there were some changes we wanted to make. Thank you Travis for all of your help and guidance, we really appreciate it.

I had a sloped front lawn area that was previously under the shade of some large fir trees. I wanted to convert it to a veggie garden but needed to grade, level, and replace the horribly compacted and root-riddled clay soil.
Travis was able to get the job done quickly and effectively. He communicated clearly and was able to work around my schedule. Also, unlike other excavators who bid on the job, Travis not only offered to haul away the old soil, but also took care of purchasing and hauling in the new soil, which made the whole experience very easy for me. He took great care in not damaging any irrigation lines, which was not easy considering I didn't know exactly where they all were. He was also great at offering suggestions to fill in details where I hadn't really thought everything through.
I am already thinking about what other projects I have where I could use Travis' services. I would definitely hire him again!
