Our house dates from 1949, as did the septic tank, a galvanized tin container about 6' in diameter,…read moreno leach field. As the tank had caved in recently, we no longer had a functioning system (which indeed backed into the house at Christmas time.) After we trenched out the old system and at least got liquids flowing, we sought out bids to replace. Not only did the whole system have to get rebuilt to code, but we also had to deal with shale rock inches below the lawn and a wooded area leading down the hillside for the site of the leach field. Given the scope of the project, the first contractor we spoke to was never heard from again. J&R Contracting, headed up the the father and son team of Rick and Rick, arrived 2 days after we called, sized up the project, gave us a realistic estimate given the challenges of the site (e.g. assume an extra day to jack hammer through the shale to create a pit.) We said, "Sure!" Rick took a deposit to pay for the construction of a low profile holding tank, said they'd be back to do the job when the tank was ready. Sure enough, 3 weeks later, the team showed up with two backhoes, a dozer, trucks to transport in sand and topsoil, and chainsaws. We mapped out an area for the tank and leach field, and then they got to work. Over three days a level area was created for the leach field after removing some scrub trees. Specimen trees were tagged and left alone. The big project was jack hammering out the pit, as deep as I am tall. The tank was lowered in, piping connected and soil smoothed over. As J&R already had all the equipment on site, we asked for two days of extra work to bring in ten loads of sand and topsoil to regrade the lawn, reshaping to direct rainfall and winter melt away from the house foundations. The final step in late April will be to distribute shade tolerant grass seed across the new lawn. The final bill matched the original estimate. The added time and materials for sculpting the lawn was, of course, extra. The results far exceeded our expectations.

This is more of a character testimonial, than your standard review…read more Recently moved back to the Hudson Valley after a bunch of time in the nonprofit sector in PA, Marco and I had been friends and had worked together previously. He had been encouraging me to move back up as I have had a few losses and it has been a difficult time. Marco hooked me up with me some work immediately so I could stand on my feet and volunteered his time to help clear a space on a farm for me to live. It is a small production farm with a supportive and wonderful community that is definitely under-resourced. He routinely finds useful stuff to repurpose which he passes on and is always open to a question or conversation trying to solve a problem. Most recently, things slowed back down again and I ran out of firewood, he gave me a cord and a half from his personal stock to last me the rest of the winter and told me not to worry about it and that I could just come split some more in the spring time to restock his shed. I don't really have words for how thankful I am and how it would've been easy for him to say as a friend hearing my woes, wow that sucks, and then keep it moving, but that's not the type of person he is. Marco and I have had a decade long relationship that spans employer, mentor, friend, volunteer, accountability partner, general life coach. Because of his encouragement and guidance, I have launched a small business and have been building capacity here at the farm. Anyone looking to hire Marco should know they are bringing an A1 person, experienced problem solver, and a damn good operator into their endeavor. Be well. Travel light.

I found Earth & Stone while looking for excavators to remove around 60 stumps some maple, but…read moremostly apple, in an old orchard my family owns. Since i plan on farming this plot I needed someone who could bring in the right equipment to rip out the stumps without costing me an arm and a leg. I spoke with several contractors with excavators and their estimates were no less than $5,000. Blake Becker of Earth & Stone comes over for a free estimate and with his equipment can complete the work in a day for a much more reasonable price. I hired them and the following week he and his son Adam ripped them out in less then a day and piles the stumps neatly in a corner of the field. Adam then rakes the soil around the stump holes to where their is almost no depression and piles up the branches and trunks I had cut down into several piles for burning. In conclusion I am very pleased with their work, their price, and the level of communication they maintained throughout this project. I would recommend them to anyone in need of excavation work.
