I rarely write reviews, even though I should, and I am quicker to write bad reviews than I am to…read morewrite good ones (I'm lazy and I procrastinate). But I promised myself that I would definitely write one for Mark and Rivard's Earthworks. he truly deserves a five-star rating. I am actually disappointed that I will not be able to work with Mark again (I do not foresee another large demolition project in my future). I was more than happy with the experience and I was 100% satisfied with Mark's work. I highly recommend him and his work and I would call him again if I ever had a need for his services. Mark was the BEST contractor I have ever worked with. From start to finish, Mark was professional, friendly, and helpful. We decided to abandon our 30,000 gallon pool and due to the size of the job, we expected this job to be a difficult process filled with headaches. Despite the size and complexity, this job was, literally, the easiest I have had done in 17 years. I hired Mark primarily because of the reviews that stated his handling of city building permits and inspections. I have dealt with several contractors, including a few of the larger and popular companies in our area who promised to obtain permits and never did. Mark lived up to the reputation, obtaining permits before starting work and attending both city inspections...without having any issues or problems. I would have been happy with just knowing the work had been done to code, but Mark's attitude and work ethic blew me away! Mark arrived everyday by 8:00 AM and put in a solid 9+ hours on site. A few issues came up during the work but, unlike most contractors I've dealt with, Mark's attitude was always, "No problem. I can take care of that." We own an "odd-shaped" property lot with some access areas barely over 7'. Mark was a real master operating his equipment during setup and the job process. It is obvious he has been doing this for many years when you see his ability at maneuvering large equipment. I was shocked on the first day when Mark arrived by himself...no crew. Aside from his son coming out the last day to help with cleanup, Mark performed the ENTIRE job by himself. I have to say that it was nice not having a 5-6 member crew walking back and forth across my property for an entire week but, considering how well the job was done, I would have tolerated it. Mark talked to me throughout out the job to find out what my plans were after the job was done. In doing so, he saved us a couple thousand dollars. Mark brought over fill dirt from a previous job, which saved us in hauling and backfill costs. And, since we were not putting in grass, we didn't need special top soil for growing. The topper of it all was that the final price was QUITE a bit less than the original estimate. The whole process was a breeze and the Mark was the main reason it was so easy.

NOT cancel, but RESCHEDULE the order. Staff said there's a 20% cancellation fee for "altering and not giving them 24hr " notification. We would've if we knew.

Basically, you can only avoid a charge if you canceled on same day of purchase. NOT the next day even if it's completely less than 24hrs. Not only did they lose a sale, but they lost a returning customer. That makes absolute since for them.

Hastie's has a variety of rock options that nobody else in the region can match. Best pricing, too, and what makes it really good for the homeowner is that you can buy quantities that work for you to avoid waste. From single bag to 1/4 yard increments up to 1 yard and of course whatever large quantity is needed. Still free delivery with a minimum of a four-yard purchase. I've had split loads where they bring two products to my home and still free delivery as long as you have the four-yard minimum. Local store specials on a few products when we can pick up the material without requiring delivery. If you want a small amount, bring a shovel and containers. If you have a pick-up truck Hastie's will load the truck for you using their skip-loaders. Very knowledgeable employees to help us get the product we need and be on our way in minutes. Huge variety of landscape materials. Bulk pricing that also allows us to buy small quantities at reasonable prices, and convenient delivery when needed. Always a good experience working with Hastie's employees and the product has always met expectations. Open Monday thru Saturday. A++

Asked for quote to demolish an inground vinyl liner pool. They appeared to know nothing about in…read moreground vinyl pools. Said they would need to drill a hole in the bottom of the pool to drain the water, I told them they actually didn't because it was a soft bottom pool which the salesperson didn't seem familiar with. The water table is too high to drill a hole being close to the river and I can drain it with a trash pump and 100 feet of 3 in hose that I could take care of myself. Explained that I wanted the concrete deck around the pool also taken out and they said it can be used as fill material, which they also said they do frequently and it would be no problem. Talked about adding some gravel to the concrete fill and compacting everything every 18 inches or so to ensure things were stable and wouldn't settle later. Said they do this routinely as well. Also asked for 12 inches of top soil, which they said was no problem. Finally got the quote and it was actually wrong. It listed an entire pool's worth of clean fill material (over 100 cubic yards is needed) and 12,000 dollar charge with no breakdown showing reuse of the concrete decking as fill material, indicated disposal of pool equipment which I told them I would take out and sell on my own (I installed it), no breakdown in material costs for the remaining fill, no labor costs, and just general description of the actual work to be done and a line for me to pay the permit fees separately. I've had lots of contractors at my house and have never been asked to pay a separate fee for a permit, they've always included the permit fee in the job quotes. I contacted them and told them the quote was nothing like what we discussed and asked them to revise it based on the conversation that was held about concrete reuse, the amount of fill material, and the pool equipment. They said they would provide a new quote. New quote never showed up. I can't speak for anyone else's experience, but this was one of the worst contractor interactions I've ever been associated with for just simply getting a quote. Can't even begin to imagine how much oversight I would have to give them for the work to prevent errors if they can't even provide an accurate quote. I don't recommend them.

They didn't even have one ready and no one within a 4 hour radius has them. Our baby donkeys are going to freeze for another week in this rain because of these jackholes!

We had an opportunity to use Steve's last week as the supplier of ready-mix concrete for two slabs…read moreand mow strips in our yard. Steve used his truck that mixes the concrete on site. You use and pay for only what comes out of the truck and the concrete is not mixed until it is ready to be dropped into the wheelbarrow. No waste, no clean-up, a great way to have a delivery of a small load and pay for only what you need. The truck is capable of large loads, too, but I believe Steve will deliver as small a load as a half yard. The concrete is accurately measured as it dispenses from the truck. State of the art concrete delivery at a great price. On time delivery, no mess, no fuss. Mix was perfect. Steve is very easy to work with and I highly recommend giving his company an opportunity to help with your concrete needs. Their delivery area covers a wide range, so don't hesitate to call for a quote. With the concrete mixed as needed at your home, there is no pressure to rush the job, and no worries from the driver of having to clean up a truck of concrete that you didn't use, but paid for. Just a win-win for everyone.

WE 100 PERCENT RECOMMEND M&H LANDSCAPE CONSTRUCTION…read more I found out of Sam through his work for my cousin's backyard in rancho. From our first call, he made everything so easy for us! If you know what you want, great! We did not. We were not sure what kind of style (cement or pavers) we wanted to go with for the backyard. So Sam asked a couple questions of our likes, dislikes and goals for our backyard. Sam went over the unbiased pros and cons of each to help us make a final decision. He then sent over a simulated backyard design using our actual backyard space! It was so cool to see it in 3D. And when we wanted to make adjustments, he was more than happy to make them and send us a new 3D design. OH AND HE DID THIS BEFORE EVEN PROCEEDING TO PAYMENT. He was helpful in letting us break the payment in 3 parts. He even fixed our neighbors broken drip pipe so it wouldn't affect our backyard anymore. ( we had been getting water leaking into our backyard for weeks prior to getting started with our backyard design and couldn't coordinate with the owners to fix it) Our backyard is pretty small, however with the pavers and sides for flowers, it looks so much bigger now. The backyard took two weeks to complete and Sam and Eric worked on it together. Eric put in a lot of hard work in really high Sac heat and was nothing but positive about it. They were both super kind, extremely hard working professionals and kept us updated on the progress everyday. We honestly could not recommend Sam and his team more. We can't wait to enjoy our new backyard.
