Don just gets it done. No fuss, no mess, heck, he cleaned up the mess my previous contractor left. And his ground leveling and compacting was so good that the shed builders complimented him.

5-stars: Professional, Efficient, and Affordable We hired Don a couple of weeks ago for some earthwork. Specifically, we needed to excavate and grade a large area for a paver patio, retaining wall, and French drain that we were building ourselves. Don and Team were excellent from start to finish. From the initial estimate to the final grading, Don was always attentive to our needs and made sure he delivered exactly what we wanted. He was very easy to communicate with and was open and honest. He’s a master with the excavator and I was impressed with how efficiently he was able to complete all the work. I also appreciated the suggestions he provided along the way to make the remaining portions of our project easier for ourselves. He always had our best interest in mind. I will be reaching out to Don next time I need any earthworks assistance!

Don was really good at his job, cleared out stumps, leveled the dirt and made a nice gravel pad for our RV. And all that in 1 day. I will hire him again if I ever need a pro for another 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
