I can't say enough about how professional Dirtworks was. They showed up when they said they would, brought all the materials with them and completed the two projects in a very professional manner. They asked me to review the project while work was underway. One of the projects included matching existing outdoor steps and they did a great job of that.

Details: Complete renovation like replacing soil or hardscape services • Boulders or stones • No, one-time project

A Plus Dirtworks did exemplary work in transforming the side of my property into usable space for RV Parking. Don McLane is extremely professional and exceeded all of our expectations and we are overwhelmingly satisfied with our project results. The retaining wall that Don built is straight, strong, and level and should last for a long-time. Thank you very much Don and A Plus Dirtworks and we look forward to continuing our back yard landscaping with you. The attached photos are before/after and just the beginning of our landscaping project. More to come… Thank you Don

Don worked with my crazy schedule - I had him remove a ~90 year old concrete path that was in the way of a new fence going in. The fence guys showed up 3 weeks early, and Don squeezed through the set posts and popped out that concrete fast, efficiently, and without disturbing new plants and the fence work! Honestly one of the best contractor experiences I’ve had!
