After checking for positive client testimonials, I contacted Earthworks to look at my collapsed barn. The estimate went very well, and Griffin’s professional team was courteous and attentive. The demolition went quickly and clean up was done better than I had expected. If you need a great excavating company contact Earhworks! Jim Shamis

Griffin was very professional and knowledgeable on how to solve my iced over driveway. He took extra time to describe how he was going to grade the slope and install a gabion drainage system. Griffin went up and beyond to make sure everything that we had discussed was completed before leaving.

I would highly recommend him and his company for any landscaping needs.
