Don was great! He went above and beyond in both grading my road and clearing back brush that was encroaching it. Don was efficient, effective, and professional at every level. Fantastic job all around!

Excellent experience with A+ Dirtworks. They handled a tough concrete removal and weed barrier install faster than expected. Most impressively, they credited us back some of the cost because they finished early. Exceptional efficiency and integrity!

A Plus Dirtworks handled all excavation, drainage, and site work for our custom home project in Stanwood. Don and MeLainee were outstanding to work with from start to finish. Their communication set them apart — we received daily photos, videos, and detailed written updates explaining exactly what the crew accomplished each day. For an owner who couldn't be on-site every moment, this transparency was invaluable. The work ethic was remarkable. Their crew showed up before sunrise and worked past sunset on multiple days. They worked through the rain without hesitation — I have photos and videos of them in the trenches during downpours, getting the job done. That dedication is rare. Beyond the hard work, their technical knowledge was evident. They identified cost-saving opportunities, passed all county and utility inspections on the first attempt, and completed the scope ahead of schedule. We will absolutely hire A Plus Dirtworks again and have already added them to our preferred contractor list for future projects. Highly recommended. — Shawn Wang, Washington Construction

Don came early and worked efficiently on demolishing the old concrete and replacing it with gravel. He coordinated smoothly with my neighbor for the stump grinding and completed the work perfectly. After finishing, he cleaned up everything thoroughly and left the area neat and tidy. Communication was excellent throughout, and he handled the job quickly and professionally. Highly recommended!
