John was not only knowledgeable of the work in general, but specifically of our property's set up. He'd set up the sewer line originally back in the day. He worked with the town to pull drawings and ensure he only excavated the minimum necessary. He also coordinated with our neighbor to ensure their irrigation system wasn't affected. Both neighbors commented on the neatness of the work and full professionalism. We'll definitely work with them in the future.

Horrible experience with them over the last 8 months. Met with John and explained that I was having…read moretwo distinct problems. The gutters on the two corners of my home were somehow backing up to the extent that instead of going into the ground by way of the downspouts, they were literally creating fountains off the corners of the home onto the ground below and destroying my landscaping and hardscaping due to the force. As well, the same flooding of the hardscaped walkway was causing flooding of my front planting bed and washing down and away most of my front lawn all the way to my neighbors. I had a small pipe installed alongside the bed to try and accommodate the water coming off the roof but it was incapable of handling the sheer volume. That same company had found what appeared to be a pipe cap in the front lawn and in digging had said that there was white drainage pipe that appeared to come from not one, but all three downspouts from the house. John proposed a buried cistern in my front lawn with new pipes connecting to the existing one as well as a fourth downspout that went to the back yard. His thought was all that water was unable to seep into the ground where the pipe currently ended so a cistern was needed. We agreed to $3000 which was also to include loam and seed. When the project was done shortly after, he claimed he tested it and all worked well. As it was finished in late November, we did not have substantial rains for me to verify this. When I had my thaw in Spring, there was some walkway flooding but I attributed this to the walkway's pitch and less to the drainage system. However, two calls and one text to John reminding him to remove the hay he had left and to come loam and seed were unreturned. I eventually hired a landscaper to address it. When the thunderstorms started in May, the problem occurred again. As the storms got worse, the problems worsened. The fountains off the corners of the house washed away the landscaping again, washed away the joint compound of my walkway and flooded my side yard. As well, the same spot in the yard where the pipe had previously ended was again percolating water which was running down the side hill. I sent photos and texts. John finally responded after multiple messages that claimed he was busy on multiple jobs that he would send someone to excavate the pipe and see if it was blocked. I got a simple text that said they had done so and the pipe was clear. The problem has continued until this day and I demanded a meeting to discuss exactly what was done. Basically, DESPITE his website's claim to stand behind his work, he does not. When we met, his claim was his job was merely to install the cistern and the pipes which connected to the existing pipe, not actually see if it solved the problem or concern himself with the existing pipes. I asked how he could have tested the system if he wasn't concerned with the existing work and how could he say the problem was "fixed". His response was that what he installed was working but that he wasn't responsible for the rest and that I should have my gutters and downspouts cleaned!!!! I pointed out I had done this just prior to his work. I also asked him if his pipe was in fact connected to the existing drainage pipe AND the small black pipe installed by the landscaper to address the run-off, why was water still percolating out off the ground EXACTLY where he had made his connections. His comment was that the black perforated pipe installed by the landscaper "was shit" and was probably leaking. So I asked why he would attach his system to something that was "shit" instead of contacting me and asking about options such as leaving it alone and addressing it separately. Now that pipe will likely allow silt and leaves into the system that was just installed. Basically he tossed up his hands and refuses to address the issues. I had my handyman run three hoses up to the three gutters that run to this system and turn all of them on simultaneously. The same downspouts immediately backed up and started overflowing. Therefore I suspect when John says he "tested" the system, he didn't actually test the three gutters but rather just the pipe he installed. When another company was questioned, their response was that attaching these three downspouts (one of which is oversized so it's more like 4) to this one pipe connected to cistern is basically a bottleneck and cannot handle the water coming off the entire roof of an 8000 sq foot house. I now need to have the entire area re-excavated and evaluated. Go elsewhere. John does not stand behind his work and doesn't care if the problem is actually rectified, nor does he even complete the work as promised. He may have had that ethic when he began at "Phil's Excavating", but it clearly isn't that way now. I gave him an opportunity to re-excavate and make the situation correct and he refused,

Steve will promise to be there, get you a date, try to get to you, etc, and then just nothing. If the owner conducts business like this, I can only imagine how his crew would behave.

I would not use this company again. I contracted Colin to remove some dirt and debris from my yard…read more Prior to the job start, I met Colin at my house and he explained his process and I detailed what I wanted done. He specifically stated that they would use a shovel to hand dig around the asphalt so they wouldn't cause any damage. The day of the job he brought in another gentleman to operate the excavator. The operator went straight into a pile of debris right by my asphalt and took a 10"x10" chunk out of it and caused a crack leading to my house. All 3 of us were there and witnessed this happen. I asked them about it and neither of them acknowledged my question and continued to work. Before we started I showed them a back section of the yard I specifically wanted gone. Colin kept saying that he understood what I was asking, but they kept excavating the wrong part of the yard. I continued to try to clarify that wasn't what I was looking for and then Colin just walked away from me in a huff. I then went up to the operator himself to try and explain and the response I got was "I'm trying really hard to be nice to you right now" . Which was a surprisingly aggressive response to receive when you're asking the people who are removing dirt on your property to remove the correct dirt. At the end, the operator dumped a bucket of dirt over the crack to intentionally cover it up and then he left the job site without letting me know he was leaving or confirming with me that the job was done. Colin was ready to leave as well, but thankfully I hadn't paid him yet, so I went back over to the crack to address it with him. It was only after I called him out for it A SECOND TIME at the very end that he took responsibility and acknowledged the damage. Colin did have someone come out and fix the asphalt, but only because he got caught. If you do use him, make sure you supervise the entire job.

My experience with Earthworks Site Development & Utilities, Inc has been nothing but remarkable…read more What this company has demonstrated has proven that there are still good people and good companies out there. For me, a good contactor has a good mix of personality/friendliness, knowledge/experience, and fair pricing. I strongly feel that they have all of these qualities. From my first introduction, I felt such a positive vibe of excitement, and interest in doing my project. It was not like the traditional corporate feel, or sales pitch, just trying to make a sale. That's important!! My project included a 2ndbuilding on my property, so I had the benefit of being "on site" at all times. I was able to witness (from both near and far) the workmanship and interactions that occurred throughout each day. I observed a strong team environment amongst them, which resulted in good collaboration, effective trouble-shooting through different tasks, and made for an overall friendlier environment. I was encouraged to ask questions, and I always felt welcome with any concerns I had. I believe some other strong indicators of a successful company are how employees treat each other, and their equipment. This also is a strong indicator of what I, as customer will probably see for my project. I observed hard workers, and employees that cared about their work, and each other. As they left the site each day, I would see that they cleaned my property, but also their own, by wiping it down, sweeping it out, and even parking equipment safely and neatly. That's important !!! I've received so many compliments about their work, it is very satisfying. Earthworks is a company that seems to be that nice mix of size, where it has a strong personal touch of a local business owner, yet the ability to cover a wide range of services, like that of a large national corporation. I'll be sure to call on them again, and certainly recommend them to both my personal and professional connections. Thank you Earthworks !!!!!!
