Tony showed up when he said he would for the initial quote and was prompt with his quote getting back to me. He came in right where I needed him to be so he gave me a date when he would start and finish the project clearing a spot of land and making a level pad. Tony did a fantastic job and I would highly recommend him doing your next excavation job.
